Changes to the logo that maybe could be better.
13-12-2021

Dear Mr Pringles,

I have made some adjustment on the logo from Pringles, and I hope that you could consider
improving your logo.

So now all of the adjustments, I am going to explain what I have changed and added. The first
obvious adjustment is the skin, I have changed it to a chip texture so that anyone would know that it
is a chip business. I have also changed the hair colour so it won’t be that messy looking, and I had to
change the colour of the outlining so it won’t blend in with the hair. You maybe also have noticed
that the position of the text has changed, and the reason for that is to make it look more balanced
and clear. And the last adjustment is that I have put a little more texture into the logo, so it looks
more alive.

So I have made some adjustments to the logo, and it would be great to see these adjustments
employed to the logo or even thought about being used.

With kind regards Ailin Zhang.

Dear Mr Pringles,

I have made some adjustment on the logo from Pringles, and I hope that you could consider to use
some of the adjustment to improve your logo.

The reason why I changed the logo was because the current logo looks a little boring and isn’t
recognizable for a chip logo. I am now going to explain how I changed these features to try to
improve the logo. The first obvious adjustment is the skin, I have changed it to a chip texture so that
anyone would know that Pringles sells chips. I have also changed the hair colour so it won’t be that
