Traditional fast food brands undergo redesigns to introduce health prioritization
Implications - Traditional fast food brands have undergone significant rebranding initiatives in recent years, with a major one being redesigning stores to offer an enhanced illusion of health. Working with more contemporary design elements, including neutral colors and minimalist aesthetics, these brands are diverging from the stark and gaudy store designs they have historically presented to consumers. By repositioning brand identity through art and design, these fast food chains are able to create more positive associations in consumers' minds, and give more credibility to their initiatives that promote "healthy" menu items.
