We love the new Cadbury logo – but is there a problem?

Rumours began circulating a few weeks back that Cadbury was about to update its logo to a new design, based more closely on the signature of its founder. Lo and behold, the rumours were true – Bulletproof has been revealed as the agency behind the new logo, as well as new, bolder packaging for the Dairy Milk bar.

The new logo is a thinner affair, with a more cursive quality emphasising its handwritten nature (especially with the newly looped 'b'). It isn't a huge change, but we'd say that's to be expected – Cadbury has one of the most recognisable wordmarks around (a pretty essential criteria for making our best logos list). That said, Twitter users (below) have pointed out a peculiarity with the new logo, and now we just can't un-see it.
