The Bell’s Blended Scotch Whisky is unveiling a new look as announced by Diageo to help make the product more recognizable on store shelves and pay homage to founder Arthur Bell. The product will now highlight Bell on the lower right-hand side of the label, flanked by his signature and paired with minimal text throughout. This is paired with additional contrast between the color and whitespace to make it easy for shoppers to spot at the shop when looking to pick up a bottle.
Marketing Director of Whisky at Diageo Violeta Andreeva commented on the updated Bell’s Blended Scotch Whisky branding saying, "Working on Bell’s Whisky, one of Britain’s most loved Whisky brands, was a real privilege. While we wanted to update the look of the bottle, we had to stay true to its heritage and constantly asked ourselves what Arthur Bell would have done. Keeping in line with its traditional roots led us to the new campaign idea – drop by for a Bell’s with loved ones and enjoy a special dram together this Christmas.”
