The question, of course, is this:
Which design do you prefer?
In a world that screams “more” it’s interesting how we respond with “less”.

I like the middle sample of each. The complete absence of colors and basically any design elements in the complete minimalistic sample seemed too much nothing. Take for instance the Nutella PB… by removing the colors from the brand name, you remove a part of their logo… Similar to the chocolate. I believe the Lindt chocolate pushes and atmosphere of “sophisticated chocolate” with their logo and without the royal blue you lose a little of it…

I don’t really like any of the “minimal” ones.
But, I don’t think this really get’s to the heart of minimalism.
Minimalism shouldn’t be “How little can we possibly get away with?” (if that were the case they could have gotten rid of the typography and logos as well). It should be “How much is absolutely necessary to fully get across our message?”. That’s good minimalism.
Eric Frisch says
I almost always liked the middle one the best – simpler than the first, but still retains more of the products character than the third.

I like a simple graphic to help me understand what the product is/does. I haven’t a clue about some of the above products in their simplest form.
Dustin W. Stout says
With the exception of the first two products and the LINDT EXCELLENCE bar (of which I prefer the second picture), I LOVE the most basic form of the design in the third picture.
As a graphic designer with a minimalistic inclination, I like stripping things down to the bare essentials in order to cut out clutter, and maximize the eye’s focus on the brand (or central object). I think this is a really interesting, and unique study.
I’d love to see a poll here.
