<p>With 74 years of experience, KFC is arguably the original fried chicken brand, and its creative assets are unmistakable across the 150-plus countries and territories in which it operates (and probably in nations it has yet to tap). From Colonel Sanders with his iconic white suit and black ribbon tie to the fried chicken bucket lined with red and white stripes, one doesn&rsquo;t need to see the logo to know it&rsquo;s KFC.</p> <p>So, when the brand asked JKR to help define its next chapter, the agency saw the opportunity from the jump.</p> <p>&ldquo;Most brands would kill for even one of the most distinctive assets in the world. KFC has six &ndash; the Colonel, the bucket, the stripes, the lettermark, Finger Lickin&rsquo; Good, the chicken itself. That&rsquo;s an extraordinary hand to be dealt,&rdquo; said JKR Global Executive Creative Director Sean Thomas. &ldquo;But it also creates a real challenge. When everything is everywhere all the time, nothing lands.&rdquo;</p> <p>But JKR has a storied history of coaxing brand evolutions. Walmart&rsquo;s spark? JKR did that. Stella-Artois&rsquo; high fashion-meets-late night pizza and beer? Yup, that was them.<i> </i>Dunkin' dropping "Donuts" without losing an ounce of its personality? Also them. Since 1961, global chicken consumption has quadrupled, making the protein the most popular among meat eaters, so KFC&rsquo;s proverbial chicken coop was getting crowded with competitors. And its elements were recognizable, but there was opportunity to ensure they'd continue resonating for generations to come.</p> <p>&ldquo;This is what we do; it&rsquo;s what we&rsquo;re known for. The work wasn&rsquo;t just about amplifying what&rsquo;s iconic,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;It was about giving each asset a clearer role, a more intentional presence, so the whole system hits harder than the sum of its parts.&rdquo;</p> <p><img src="/wps/wcm/connect/yumbrands/f7025260-ddc0-4c58-92fe-030d1bb97fa5/1/kfc_2026_global_packaging-kitchen-shot_lifestyle_rgb.jpg?MOD=AJPERES" alt="" width="620" title="" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></p> <p>So, what changed? The Colonel got a neckline. The stripes became type. The bucket became a frame for creativity and culture. Two new colors were introduced: a green (aka herbs) and an orange (aka spices). And astute fans can spot a drumstick hidden inside the &ldquo;KFC&rdquo; logo.</p> <p>Every element had to play well on a global stage, so JKR and KFC invited representatives from its 14 business areas to weigh in. &ldquo;Local markets weren&rsquo;t handed a direction to approve,&rdquo; Thomas said. &ldquo;They were in the room from day one. That&rsquo;s not the norm in global brand work, and it shows in the result.&rdquo;</p> <p>Customers approved of the new direction as well, calling the new identity &ldquo;modern, relevant and culturally connected&rdquo; without losing the familiarity and emotional connection they already had with KFC.</p> <p>That&rsquo;s not to say that JKR and the brand were in lockstep throughout the entire process. &ldquo;The best work came from that tension,&rdquo; Thomas said. &ldquo;At the concept stage, we pushed hard on where KFC could go. Some directions were genuinely interesting, but when something stopped feeling like KFC, it stopped feeling right. I mean, the Colonel is not just an iconic brand symbol; he was a real icon. We knew finding the right balance between heritage and today&rsquo;s culture was going to be key.&rdquo;</p> <p>The result from that tension is a unified experience built around the bucket, designed to bring chicken back to the heart, connect with culture and create a more distinctive, expressive and modern KFC.</p> <p>&ldquo;Stripes as type&rdquo; appear as parking spots, and the bucket becomes an actual building. Online and in the app, the elements are animated, always moving like the brand they represent. Even tone of voice got a glow-up, now defined as playfully witty, magnetically candid and deliciously confident.</p> <p><link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/swiper@11/swiper-bundle.min.css" /> <style> .swiper { width: 100%; padding-top: 50px; padding-bottom: 50px; position: relative; } .swiper-wrapper { display: flex; align-items: center; /* Center all slides vertically */ } .swiper-slide img { width: 50%; height: auto; } .swiper-slide { background-position: center; background-size: cover; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; transition: transform 1s ease-in-out; position: relative; z-index: 1; /* Base z-index for all slides */ } .swiper-slide-active img{ width: 75%; height: auto; } .swiper-slide-active { transition: transform 1s ease-in-out, width 1s ease-in-out, height 1s ease-in-out; z-index: 10; /* Higher z-index for central image */ background: transparent; } .swiper-slide-prev, .swiper-slide-next { z-index: 5; /* Medium z-index for side images */ } .swiper-button-prev:after, .swiper-button-next:after { content: initial !important; } .swiper-button-prev, .swiper-button-next { position: absolute; bottom: 63px; /* Position the arrows below the images */ top: initial; width: 40px; height: 40px; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; background-color: #fff; border-radius: 50%; box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); cursor: pointer; z-index: 20; color: #141f46; transition: transform 0.2s ease-in-out; /* Add a smooth transition effect */ } /* When hovering over the icon, scale it up by 10% */ .swiper-button-prev:hover, .swiper-button-next:hover { transform: scale(1.5); /* 1.5 means 150% of the original size */ } .swiper-button-prev { left: 5%; } .swiper-button-next { right: 5%; } .swiper-button-prev i, .swiper-button-next i { font-size: 18px; } </style> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row"> <div id="photoSlide3215af8d2e764f5ebdcbecc490179d90" class="col-12 m-auto swiper-wrapper"> <div class="swiper"> <div class="swiper-wrapper"> </div> </div> <div class="swiper-button-prev"> <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-left"></i> </div> <div class="swiper-button-next"> <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-right"></i> </div> </div> </div> </div> <span id="listofimages3215af8d2e764f5ebdcbecc490179d90" class="d-none"><p><img src="/wps/wcm/connect/yumbrands/51a22949-6f62-4548-8b0e-4a48f325b107/1/KFC+bucket+dev+1.png?MOD=AJPERES" alt="" width="720" title="" /></p> <p><img src="/wps/wcm/connect/yumbrands/51a22949-6f62-4548-8b0e-4a48f325b107/2/KFC+bucket+dev+5.png?MOD=AJPERES" alt="" width="720" title="" /></p></span> <script> function photoslideshowCB(element, state, additionalData){ if (state == StateChangeEvent.STATE_SAVED) { console.log ("Inside state saved: photoslideshowCB"); updateSlideShow(); } } // Pull swiper instance out to allow access later. let swiper; function updateSlideShow() { if (swiper !== undefined) { console.log ("Swiper is not undefined"); swiper.removeAllSlides(); swiper.destroy(true, true); } else { console.log ("It is undefined"); } let imageContainerID = "listofimages3215af8d2e764f5ebdcbecc490179d90"; let imageContainer = document.getElementById(imageContainerID); let imgArray = Array.from(imageContainer.getElementsByTagName('img')); if (imgArray.length > 0) { for (var index in imgArray) { var imgEl = imgArray[index].cloneNode(true); $(imgEl).addClass("img-fluid"); var domel = $('<div class="swiper-slide">').append(imgEl).append('</div>'); $("#photoSlide3215af8d2e764f5ebdcbecc490179d90 .swiper-wrapper").append(domel); } swiper = new Swiper('#photoSlide3215af8d2e764f5ebdcbecc490179d90 .swiper', { direction: 'horizontal', effect: 'coverflow', speed: 1000, coverflowEffect: { rotate: 0, // No rotation, for a more subtle effect stretch: 250, // Negative value to pull images closer depth: 150, // Adjust depth for better overlap modifier: 1.2, // Slightly increased modifier for better effect slideShadows: false, }, grabCursor: true, loop: true, centeredSlides: true, slidesPerView: "auto", autoplay: { delay: 5000, pauseOnMouseEnter: true, }, pagination: { el: '.swiper-pagination', }, navigation: { nextEl: '.swiper-button-next', prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev', }, }); }; }; $(document).ready(function() { updateSlideShow(); }); </script></p> <p>&ldquo;What we&rsquo;ve designed isn&rsquo;t a new look.

You&rsquo;re going to see next-level hospitality, crave-worthy content and culture-defining activations.

<p dir="ltr">Taco Bell has long been seen as one of quick-service dining’s biggest winners on two fronts: food innovation and value pricing. But as Yum! Brands enters its next phase of growth, Taco Bell is making a case for a third competitive edge: operations.</p> <p dir="ltr">During Yum!'s first-quarter earnings call, Yum! CEO Chris Turner highlighted Taco Bell's continued momentum. The brand posted 8% same-store sales growth in the quarter, marking its eighth consecutive quarter of outperforming the quick-service restaurant industry. On a two-year basis, Taco Bell U.S. same-store sales are up 17%, which Turner described as "miles ahead of the overall QSR industry."</p> <p dir="ltr">The performance continues to be fueled by strengths that have defined Taco Bell for years. The brand remains a leader in menu innovation, cultural relevance and value. Turner pointed to the successful launch of the <a href="https://www.tacobell.com/newsroom/taco-bell-launches-the-new-luxe-value-menu" >Luxe Value Menu,</a> which helped improve value scores and increase value mix during the quarter. One-third of Taco Bell transactions now include a value menu item, demonstrating strong consumer adoption.</p> <p dir="ltr"><img src="/wps/wcm/connect/yumbrands/a1484031-c649-4041-9009-f77d44e70cdb/1/Taco-Bell-Luxe-Value-Menu_2-jpg.jpg?MOD=AJPERES" alt="" width="603" height="335" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="" /></p> <p dir="ltr"><b>Supporting more innovation</b></p> <p dir="ltr">But Taco Bell's current story is no longer only about what it sells or how it prices its products. Increasingly, it is about how it executes.</p> <p dir="ltr">That distinction matters because Taco Bell is increasing the pace of innovation flowing through its restaurants. At this year's <a href="https://www.tacobell.com/newsroom/live-mas-live-2026-reveal" >Live Más LIVE: A Night at The Palladium event</a>, the brand unveiled a pipeline of roughly 20 upcoming limited-time offers and menu innovations underscoring the rapid cadence of new products headed to restaurants. Delivering that level of innovation requires more than creative product development and marketing support. It requires an operating model capable of handling greater complexity while maintaining consistency for customers and restaurant teams.</p> <p dir="ltr">More menu launches naturally create additional pressure on preparation, training and in-restaurant execution. To keep pace, Taco Bell has focused on simplifying restaurant operations and making it easier for team members to execute new products and promotions. Where possible, the brand also develops new offerings using existing restaurant processes and ingredients, helping minimize operational complexity while continuing to deliver fresh experiences for customers. The goal is to create a more efficient back-of-house environment that supports a robust innovation pipeline while enhancing both the team member and guest experience.</p> <p dir="ltr"><img src="/wps/wcm/connect/yumbrands/a1484031-c649-4041-9009-f77d44e70cdb/2/TeamMember_4-jpg.jpg?MOD=AJPERES" alt="" width="542" height="298" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="" /></p> <p dir="ltr"><b>Operations drive results</b></p> <p dir="ltr">Taco Bell's efforts to streamline operations are beginning to show results. Customer satisfaction continues to improve, while overall complaints have declined since the introduction of a new service model and technology enhancements last year.</p> <p dir="ltr">Behind those results is a coordinated effort to offset operational complexity with enhanced tools in restaurants. The goal is straightforward: help team members execute new menu launches consistently, even as the pace of innovation accelerates.</p> <p dir="ltr">That emphasis on simplification is especially notable because it reframes the innovation story. The headline is not simply the steady stream of new menu offerings, but how operational improvements are making that possible. Taco Bell is not just adding variety; it is building the systems needed to support that variety while delivering accuracy for customers and making execution easier for team members. That includes more consistency across point-of-sale (POS) and kitchen display monitors, making menu build videos accessible on the production line and an ongoing focus on hospitality across every customer touchpoint.</p> <p dir="ltr">Hospitality remains a key focus. In fact, in the first quarter, the brand saw year-over-year improvements in both accuracy and hospitality. The brand’s focus on the cross-channel guest experience, from digital ordering to drive-thru to in-store service, suggests it is not treating operations as a back-of-house efficiency exercise alone. Instead, the effort is aimed at improving both team member experience and customer consistency at the same time.</p> <p dir="ltr"><b>Building for long-term growth</b></p> <p dir="ltr">This operational lens also fits squarely into Turner’s broader <i>Raise the B.A.R.</i> strategy for Yum!, which states that the company’s next chapter of growth will be driven by three priorities: battling for the future consumer, accelerating restaurant unit economics and reaching the full potential of Byte, Yum!’s proprietary digital and technology platform.</p> <p dir="ltr"><img src="/wps/wcm/connect/yumbrands/a1484031-c649-4041-9009-f77d44e70cdb/3/Dallas+Mockingbird+training+5.jpg?MOD=AJPERES" alt="" width="293" height="391" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="" /></p> <p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><i>Yum! Brands CEO Chris Turner works a Taco Bell drive-thru window.</i></p> <p dir="ltr">Turner also noted that Taco Bell's operational evolution is benefiting from lessons shared across Yum!'s global system, particularly from KFC, where leaders are building globally deployable menu platforms and sharing best practices to help markets replicate successful ideas faster and with greater consistency.</p> <p dir="ltr">For years, Taco Bell has been admired for winning on craveable food and everyday value. Now it is showing that the next frontier may be operational excellence By pairing one of the industry's fastest innovation engines with increasingly streamlined restaurant operations, Taco Bell is demonstrating that operational excellence can become just as meaningful a competitive advantage as craveable food, compelling value and fast service.</p>
