Hostess, the maker of Donettes, Twinkies, Cupcakes and Ding Dongs, is getting a new look with updated packaging and logos as J.M. Smucker Co. attempts to fuel the brand’s growth by attracting younger consumers.
The sweets marketer is going with a more rounded font style and a simplified, brighter color palette. The redesigned boxes feature the word “Hostess” more prominently and retain the brand’s signature red heart while adding a cloud-shaped border around “Hostess,” a nod to the snacks’ “light and airy quality,” according to a company press release. Hostess positioned it as a more modern look meant to appeal to younger consumers.
