Sparkling Ice, the popular line of flavored carbonated water, recently announced a new look to showcase the brand’s transition to naturally sourced colors and flavors of its sparkling water. The brand refresh included a new logo, new bottle design and a new formula for each sparkling water. The main goal of the logo and packaging redesign was to announce Sparkling Ice’s move to source the colors of its sparkling water from natural sources, becoming one of the first brands in the category to make this transition while maintaining the bold colors and flavors the brand is known for. Sparkling Ice has always been known as a standout in the sparkling water category for its packaging’s vibrant, colorful look.
Why Use Natural Flavors and Colors?
Sparkling Ice’s decision to become one of the first brands in the sparkling water vertical to use natural flavors and colors was a carefully thought-out and researched decision. The brand spent two years conducting extensive market research with the input of more than 8,000 consumers. The market research also included taste and another sensory testing. The end result supported the brand’s desire to utilize a new formula that would use natural flavors and colors in each of the 16 flavors of Sparkling Ice.
Why the New for Sparkling Ice?
With the transition to using natural flavors and colors, Sparkling Ice wanted to use visual and branding elements to support the announcement of the new formula. Sparkling Ice has always been known for having a bright, bold appearance to match the sparkling water’s taste. During the two-year market research project that worked with over 8,000 consumers, Sparkling Ice found that consumers would appreciate a fresh, new look for the beverage. This feedback led Sparkling Ice to develop a modern, sleek new bottle design. The new bottle design also includes a larger emphasis on the fact that the carbonated drink contains zero sugar, a fact that many consumers appreciate in their quest for healthier beverages that still pack a great deal of delicious flavor. Additionally, Sparkling Ice developed an updated logo that puts the emphasis on the fruity flavors of each sparkling water, yet also appears more fresh and modern.

The company states that fans had told them that it may be time for a change and they dove in with a two-year market research project to determine exactly what consumers wanted in that change. However, they still wanted to showcase a flavorful, zero-sugar carbonated drink above all else.
