I don’t eat Corn Flakes. That being said, I LOVE CORN FLAKES.
Package design circa whenever Huckleberry Hound was popular
The rooster, Cornelius, has been the Corn Flakes mascot since 1958, and C-Flakes have been fairly consistent in their depiction of old Corny throughout the redesigns, the obligatory (unnecessary?) kid-friendly drawings notwithstanding.

How lovely is that? How timeless and not-for-kids? I love it. I love always noticing it in the sea of graphic insanity that is the breakfast aisle. I love it all except for the beveling. Why always with the beveling?? You are soooo close, Kellogg’s! So close to meeting a designer’s cereal dreams. Just uncheck that layer effect! It takes like one second!
Then again, considering that this is the same company who is capable of sending this to the shelf, I should probably just shut up and enjoy it while it lasts.
