I worked as a gopher fixing the line that produces the syrup in tins.
An amazing monument to Heath-Robinson.

I like the new identity. It's a lot cleaner but still nostalgic.
I liked the old one too - one of those pieces of work that I reckon most people wouldn't have given a second thought to, or known the meaning behind.
But (without getting too political) the change will be framed as an attack on religious iconography or something. Or a "woke" rebrand.

Until now, the branding had remained exactly the same since 1881.
Other products, such as sugars, are Tate & Lyle

This is the thing when a brand is so iconic. Again this is a generalisation but most folk will recognise the colours and the arch and won't have given a hoot about the lion.
It's only when a rebrand goes drastically wrong that it's actually an issue. To use one example: when Gap changed to their basic Helvetica effort with a silly little cube tacked over the 'P' it was rightly ripped to shreds and they quickly reverted. $100 million not exactly well spent...

It's OK in porridge but it always leaves a sticky mess in the kitchen cupboard.

I defected to clear honey a long time ago. With a bit of practice you can dispense it from the jar without spilling a drop.
BTW, don't even think of mentioning the squirty stuff......
