Gallery: A ‘Timelion’ of Food Lion designs

Food Lion is accompanying its newly launched “fresh, easy and affordable” strategy with a refreshed logo.

According to the company, the redesigned logo — which recasts the iconic lion in black and introduces a deeper shade of blue for the words — provides a “more modern look” for the brand. The logo was designed by Paris-based Minale Design Group, with input from Food Lion officials in Salisbury, N.C.

The tweak continues a long evolution for the brand, which was born as Food Town in 1957 and illustrated in this gallery of storefronts and logos through the years.
