 The entire Burger King branding has been spruced up, meaning the way we experience the restaurant is set to change forever.

Firstly, they revealed their packaging rebrand.

As you can see in the picture above, the company has adopted retro, 70s-themed lettering on their food wrappers, as well as quirky new names for their products. A "cheesy bacony" does sound rather tempting...

And then, the staff uniforms were unveiled.

Jones Knowles Ritchie, the brains behind the stylish rebrand, shared a series of photos of the new uniform, giving designer, Bryce Barnes, a shout out for the collaboration.

They also shared a photo of what you can expect the restaurants' exteriors to look like in the near future.

It's undeniably an incredible piece of work.

 On their website, Jones Knowles Ritchie said of the logo: "For Burger King’s first global rebrand in more than two decades, we set out to make the brand feel less synthetic and artificial, and more real, crave-able and tasty."

They continued:

 "We were inspired by the brand’s original logo and how it has grown to have an iconic place in culture. The new logo pays homage to the brand’s heritage with a refined design that’s confident, simple, and fun."

Well, folks, here it is.

As you can see, the company have given their 70s' logo a modernized comeback.

And, if you look a little closer...

The new logo cleverly incorporates the B and K initials with a burger all at the same time.

Burger King, we take our hats off to you.

They have truly knocked it out of the park. For more on the fast-food giant, keep scrolling to see what they changed their name to during pride month...
