Minimalism and simplicity are big trends that have swept logo design in nearly every industry in recent years. From interior design to fashion and everywhere in between, minimalistic design is front and center.
This trend has even swept the snack food industry, with brands like Madegood and Smart Sweets keeping their designs simple, with clean lines and relatively neutral colors.
When snack logo designs aren’t minimalist, it’s still nearly just as common to see fun fonts, bright colors, and eye-catching designs, such as those seen on brands such as Chewy Bars and Kind Bars.
These on-trend snack logos look great on store shelves, helping retailers to create appealing displays that catch the eye of the consumer and clearly indicate what they’re buying into. Just as it’s important to have a logo and package design that stands out, it’s important for logos to suit the brand’s identity and the food inside the packaging.
Here are 10 of the most appealing snack logos that look great on shelves.
1. Kind Bars
Multiple colors and a simple font indicate the natural goodness that one can expect when biting into a Kind Bar. The rectangular shape of this brand logo also makes it easy for merchandisers to create beautiful in-store displays that feature clean, stark lines that easily catch customers’ eyes.
2. Goldfish
Goldfish are a great snack for kids and the simple but fun logo that Pepperidge Farms has chosen for Goldfish packaging indicates this. The incorporation of the word baked inside the circular logo helps parents feel good about choosing Goldfish for their children and the big, smiling fish on the cover appeals to a younger audience.
3. Madegood
Madegood creates school-safe, allergy-safe organic snacks that are great for kids and adults.

The logo’s earthy color palette, combined with the name, indicates that the ingredients are simple and the brand is a good choice for those seeking healthier alternatives.
4. Doritos
Capturing the edgy feel of the Doritos brand was key to its most recent logo design. The firey triangle, representative of their famous chips, delivers a sense of ferocity and boldness that brave snackers must have when munching on a Doritos chip. With their many spicy and unique flavor offerings, this chip logo calls attention right away on a shelf.
