Miracle Whip overhauls brand identity, designs new alt logo


Miracle Whip has been trying for the past several years to 'rebrand' itself as a cool condiment that alternative people can use on their foods. Not sure if they are 'trying to replace ketchup/salsa' or something like that. It seems like they made a 'new logo' that breaks free from the limitations of font-based typography. Instead, they used an emotion-evoking scribble of mayo, similar to the way you zig zag a condiment on ur bread when you make a sandwich. It seems like this 'raw' branding decision is trying to appeal to the natural, animalistic human spirit, sorta like how humans used to have to communicate by 'cave drawing.'

I remember the days when I used to vibe out hard to this commercial, thinking about sweet rooftop parties where me and my bros would eat tons of mayo, and use it as a mixer in our 'vodka + mayo' drinks.

I wonder if Miracle Whip is 'the new Volkswagen.' Maybe they can make a series of 'hipster bashing' commercials that get blog coverage.

It feels as if this happened yesterday, but almost a year ago, we reported on the redesign of the mayo-alternative, Miracle Whip, and its repositioning as the coolest spread in town. That deliciously retro design is now gone, in the blink of an eye, and in return we get a more gooey rendition of the name and something that resembles more what they had before the change last year. Despite the quick switcharoo, it's nice to see that they still aimed for a certain simplicity and the new packaging is as minimal as you will find on the shelves; it's actually quite striking with that big MW.


Do u think this new logo will help Miracle Whip to become as popular as Coca Cola?
Do u use Miracle Whip?
What is the most alt/authentic condiment?
Is 'ranch' for white people?

@sweet dick willie, this blog is turning into that aunt you accidentally approved on facebook and she always sends you links to really old things she thinks you think are funny to show how hip she is. Next thing we know he's gonna be blogging about lolcats.

@xSurfbl00dbr0x, like to differentiate myself in my condiment-style, which is why I eat Veganese. Probs made by Kraft or something, and will contribute to the death of people via ciggie smoking. But at least it makes me feel superior to other human beings in one more microcosmic way yall.

Do the mayo/dressing companies feel like they are missing a huge demographic? Or did they feel they needed to re-vamp their image to appeal to alt dads and cool moms? Because in the great mayo race, eff Hellman's, I am all about graphic designs on my salad dressing.

tommy's picture

@Drunk Aaron Neville, I think Hellman's has an alter name
hell is edgy
don't think many altbros/baguettes are into "miracles", tho (via agnosticism/atheism), but the icp memevid might change that
also I think that gross sweet stuff is generally "passé" now that everyone thinks they're a chef via watching cooking shows

@tommy, 'fucking mayo, how does it work?'

imagining icp squirting miracle whip onto a sea of grateful juggalos. whitest rappers ever.

yo guys im gonna go make some miracle whip crostinis anyone want some

look at that fuckin miracle whipster's picture

feel like mw is a natural alt condiment for my lifestyle. that's why this new marketing campaign doesnt feel forced at all. mayo is creamy, classic, and most importantly, chill, but mw takes it to the next level by adding that little zip, an edge, a rebel yell. its the same difference between 80s soft rock (so mayo) and chillwave (zippy).

def 'feeling it (mw) all around (my mouth)'.

i think the old container is more alt...

amber's picture

@ZUCCURES, I was thinking the same thing, it's "retro"

ZUCCURES's picture

@amber, retro is the proper word for it, bro

david bowie's picture

@amber, 50's-60's design is mainstream now via mad men, zooey deschanel etc
if it had something that conjured up the 90s it would b good + alt
like crystal pepsi

@david bowie, toooo true bro

this is stupid what would be cooler is if they went retro or logoless

@joey, logo-less would be disgusting, then everyone could see what they were eatinggg!!1

Mayonnaise is for white people.

But Miracle Whip is a relevant brand via product placement in Lady Gag's video.

amber's picture

I always hated that commerical. "We won't tone it down" you're fucking mayonaise with "zest" get the fuck over yourself

contents's picture

but, wouldn't mayonnaise be more 'authentic' than a mayonnaise substitute?

feel confused.

For Reverend Meme's picture

@contents, DON'T BE SO MAYO

thexxo's picture

altlogo or not, it still tastes like shizz.

the freewheelin''s picture

@thexxo, i am agree. all the white sauces, ranch, mayo, sour cream, whip...they can't shake their jizzlike qualities. (via contradictory veganism/latent homophobia)

Cheevus Christ's picture

what would be really alt is if it was like a generic food product from the 80's that said just, "WHITE STUFF" or "MAYO SUBSTITUTE" via Repo Man.

i wonder if you're supposed to smoke DMT to really get the new MW packaging. the voices in my head say definitely yes.

brobro's picture

me an all me bro pop pills
and rub mw on each other

we wont tone it down

Satanz Gr8's picture

Old logo was better. Use real mayonnaise (i.e. Hellmans or Best Foods depending on your coast). Cholula and Sriracha are contenders for best condiments. This is such boring shit. What does this have to do with anything?

neeyukk's picture

that shit aint mayonnaise!

john digmeme's picture

Altest condiment is Bearnaise - a sub-genre of condiments within a sub-genre of condiments. Also, if you can find unsweetened Maggi Chili Sauce, congratulations, you're one step closer to being on my lvl... Sriracha... is some entry-lvl shit. Get with it.

I feel like I want to lather down the kayak on the top of my volkswagon with MW while downloading pics of Zoey Dashenell on my iPad.

We were a MW family growing up in the 70s. I didn't know what real mayo was until my first boyfriend, who thought I was a freak for using MW on my turkey sammiches. I kept bringing home boys who preferred may to MW. This did not go over well. My husband of 5 years is also a mayo-eater. My family has come to terms with it. Me, I don't eat any of that crap any more. Hydrogenated oils can really fuck a person up, y'know?
