LogoAnalysis
The Taco Bell Logo has three main colours. But each colour has a different meaning hidden behind it. Their main colour of the logo is bluish purple which indicates luxury. Taco bell wants to give you the luxury of delicious tacos made ready for you. The next main colour is pink. Pink shows youthfullness and affection, also trying to get you to think that the food is healthy. Plus the yellow little bell is like energy and happiness. Energy from the drinks they serve and just all together happiness from going to Taco Bell. They have used the shape of the bell to go with the logo in particular. And to call in their customers since bell can be associated with calling someone or getting someone’s attention.

Rebranding
Final selcted logo
Despite all the efforts the brand has done in order to change the logo to make it more simple and sophisticated the logo still remains very rigid and stiff. There is no use of warm colours so as to give it a more tastier feel as compared to its competitors and also it doesn’t go with its target customers. The redesigned logo is trying to give it a more Mexican feel by adding the Red chilly in place of the letter “C�. The logo also has a bell which maintains the connection between the brand and the customers.. The colours used serve the purpose of the brand to give fresh food and keep the customers happy and enlightened.
