With the need to compete on supermarket shelves against ‘well-entrenched’ and heavily-advertised major brands a new Lawry’s logo would be required to have a ‘visual boldness’ and ‘singularity’, and convey a sense of quality on a ‘gourmet level’. Further, the ‘memory-recall’ attributes of the logo would need to be maximised so that it would instantly identify and endorse future Lawry's products that would use a diverse range of physical containers. Saul Bass, in 1959, would take on the challenge of devising the new logo and corporate identity. The initial ‘L’ surfaced as a strong initial candidate. Hundreds of variations of this were explored. These ranged from slight modifications of the ‘Old English’ swash capital from the previous logotype to completely modern letterforms. Concepts were tested in various simulated use-cases, which included shop aisle mock-ups. From this, the strongest most versatile logo began to take form. Additional refinements eventually produced the final spiral top design. The result was a simple yet bold for the time, which stood out from the competition. What later be called the ‘fanciful L’ retained some of the traditional chisel-edge calligraphic qualities of the earlier logotype in the diagonal ending of the descender as it met the bold squared-off bottom of the horizontal stroke. The near-even weighted spiral serif brought the viewer back to twentieth century, creating a continuity between old and new, adding an elegant gourmet flourish. In application, the logo and logotype worked together in a variety of modular arrangements to afford a flexibility, interest and continuity across packaging, signage and other areas of corporate activities.
