Harvest Gold unveils new logo in brand revamp
Mumbai: Harvest Gold, a bakery food brand, has revamped its visual identity with a new logo and packaging to strengthen its brand positioning.
With this fresh transformation, Harvest Gold aims to influence the buying decisions of young Indians, and reinforce the brand ethos ‘Wahi Swaad, Naya Andaaz’, the brand said in a statement on Thursday.
The new packaging brings several changes in the front panel of the packets, including a personalized call-out in every variant, a wider red strip, use of new-age font, better visibility of product type, and use of logo beyond the seal of the packet, it added.
Speaking about the brand makeover, Harvest Gold’s MD Raj Kanwar Singh shared, “The new logo of Harvest Gold is quintessentially Indian. It has been designed keeping in mind the fact that our audience is becoming more diverse every day. The new logo resonates with the vibrant and dynamic spirit of young and effervescent India. The sun in the new Logo reflects the energy and rededicated hope that inspires people to make the best of each day.”
The new design will be visible on all Harvest Gold products, as well as in shops, on vehicles, and merchandise starting 9 July.

Domino’s Q1 profit falls 6.6 per cent, announces $1 billion buyback
Sales rise 3.4 per cent as pizza giant balances growth and shareholder returns
NEW YORK: Domino’s reported a mixed start to 2026, with first-quarter net income slipping even as global sales and store expansion held steady. The company also announced a fresh $1 billion share buyback, underlining its continued focus on shareholder returns.
Global retail sales rose 3.4 per cent on a constant-currency basis to $4.74 billion. The US remained a key growth engine, with same-store sales inching up 0.9 per cent, supported by a 1.5 per cent rise at company-owned outlets.
International markets, however, painted a more uneven picture. While Domino’s added 161 net new stores overseas during the quarter, international same-store sales declined 0.4 per cent. Overall revenues still climbed 3.5 per cent to $1.15 billion, driven by higher supply chain revenues and a 2.6 per cent increase in food basket pricing for franchisees.
On the profitability front, net income fell 6.6 per cent to $139.8 million, compared to $149.7 million a year earlier. Diluted earnings per share dropped to $4.13 from $4.33. The decline was largely attributed to a $30 million unfavourable swing in unrealised gains linked to its investment in DPC Dash Ltd.
Despite this, operational performance showed resilience. Income from operations rose 9.6 per cent to $230.4 million, supported in part by a $7.8 million pre-tax gain from the sale of a corporate aircraft.
Domino’s footprint continued to expand, with the company ending the quarter at 22,322 stores across more than 90 markets. In the US, digital orders remained dominant, accounting for over 85 per cent of retail sales in 2025.
The company also maintained its dividend payout, declaring $1.99 per share, payable on 30 June 2026. After repurchasing $75.1 million worth of stock during the quarter, the new authorisation lifts the total available for buybacks to $1.29 billion.
Domino’s chief executive officer Russell Weiner said the company’s scale and store-level economics position it well to capture further market share in 2026, even as competition intensifies.
As Domino’s leans into expansion and capital returns, the latest results show a business managing short-term pressures while keeping its long-term growth strategy firmly in play.
