9 Iconic Brand Logos Get Transformed Into Female Versions, And The Results Look Awesome
506Kviews
This year’s women’s day was all about empowering women, and more companies than ever have come together to celebrate this day.
Creative Equals, an organization aiming to support talented women and promote diversity in creative industries, has decided to replace iconic company logos with female characters in order to highlight the issues of unbalanced branding in the media.
Their logo designs include companies like Pringles, Monopoly, DreamWorks, Schwarzkopf, and Bic. Creative Equals hope that this will bring out the issues of gender inequality because according to the organization’s founder and CEO Ali Hanan, 89.5 percent of creative design directors are male and it can affect a brand’s identity.
In an interview with Dezeen, Ali Hanan stated that they are not attacking any of these brands personally, but they wanted to show a variety of examples to get people celebrating International Women’s Day and thinking about the need for equal rights.
This is not the only creative idea for International Women’s Day this year, we were already surprised by Barbie’s collection of 17 new dolls that portray inspiring women from all around the world. Also, check out how these cosplayers portrayed Disney princesses pursuing their dream professions in this inspiring photo shoot!
Scroll down to see how these iconic male mascots would look like if they were females!

This year’s International Women’s Day also inspired other famous companies to change their logos to honor women:

Sorry I prefer them the way they are. This is just getting stupid and ridiculous
yeah... people would ask to change jesus on the cross soon... Changing Lincoln in his mémorial. it's getting stupid. being feminist is becoming extremist now.
This is not feminism. This IS extremely odd to me and I believe in feminism which is simply the idea that men and women should be equal (but yes...different). I do NOT think this is ok or normal. I do however, think it's really sweet when someone opens a door for me (and I do the same for anyone), I HATE the term "mansplaining", I believe you deserve higher pay if you're doing more work or a more demanding job (IF you are...). REAL feminism is about being fair. That's it. it's about not treating me as less than because you think I'm the weaker sex. I'm different than a man. I'm physically weaker than most men so if I work in a job that is physical I am not in an equal position. I know what's what. I am a feminist. Please do not think feminists are what Rush Limbaugh calls Feminazis. There are all different types of people in this world.
Whats extremist ?
Who's jesus and what's he got to do with anything?
Except for that Lincoln is a real person, and maybe Jesus too, these are logos, can be changed however they want, and really many of them doesn´t even differ more then the hair, how is this feminism at all? It´s logos getting a little bit of extra hair.
Yeah, it's a lot like vegans. Being real vegan, serious about this kind of stuff is great and healthy as far as researchers are concerned(although, it's not very natural if you ask me, to be fair. Prehistoric people ate whatever they found and collected out there and this included stuff other than plant only diet). However, people who strut around, bragging about being vegan(while secretly eating stuff vegans shouldn't eat) are maddening.
Yeah, it's almost like taking an Arab Jew and turning him into a ripped white guy. Or like taking the ancient Hebrew term for God, which has no gender, and making it a He
Thank you Gayle Bynum Cardosa, I can agree with your description. Pay and respect should be the same for all. I'm glad women and men are different. I don't want us to be undistinguished shable.
That is not what is being implied. I think these are neat - and doesn't Miss Pringles look so cute!

Well said. Time to teach these prick teasing sluts a lesson.
The different perspective doesn't bother me, but honestly I never noticed an icon's gender. be them male or female. Oh, and the M in MTV or Mcdonalds never struck me as meaning "male" M is just an M.
Yeah, pretty sure they stand for Music and McDonald's, respectively...
It's just for fun. Settle down.
Thank you.
I agree....miss Bic??? How on earth can you even tell it's supposed to be a man??
if you dont have good to said , dont said nothing at all. women no need more hate preaching and gender hate is enough society attacking sex abuse victims just because a couple liars enough.
Calm down, they are not actually changing their logos. It's just a fun way of celebrating international women's day. Everything has gone back to the original for those whose world shatters when the slightest thing changes.
I think there only for nathional women day
I see the creeptastic dipshits are out in force. Show us on the doll where the pictures hurt you.
I couldn't agree more....
Yeah...
Totally agree!
Shit like this is killing the women first movement.
There isn't a women first movement. We just want equality, not priority.
This is starting to really get to me. Um...do the mental midgets that do these types of things realize that logos and this type of thing don't really have much of anything to do with "empowering" anybody? I mean I get that there might be a good intention but W TV instead of MTV? Isn't that just wusic tv? Or WcDonalds? Changing an M to a W doesn't mean anything. I'm a SMART feminist (NOT a bad word) and I'm also a liberal person who doesn't hate Republicans. I respect everyone and their beliefs. These little trite moves are just dumb and placate....who? Don't give me anything I don't earn. Don't patronize me. Just treat me fairly and we'll be good. The rest of this is for those who aren't intelligent.
Thank you for saying so eloquently what was bouncing around in my head.
I appreciate the people like you
Exactly my thoughts! What's the point of changing logos ? It's useless... I hope they stop doing this shit and actually try to stop sexism. These people just want to bring gender into every damn thing !
We have to also add the marketing component here. it's getting these corporations attention. the designer also making a name and getting paid. The main thrust of it all.
Oh....I see it's hypothetical anyway.
What does that even mean - MRA drone? I'm assuming you mean men's rights advocate. If that's what you mean then sure, OK. I'll go for that. I'm a men's rights advocate. I'm a women's rights advocate too. I'm not really especially trying to be "for" one and against the other because we should all be in this life together working for the greater good so if that's what you mean then yeah...yeah I am...I mean the "drone" part? Uh, no but whatever. Call me what you like. I don't really care. Some people like to be pissy and sounds like that gets to be you so knock yourself out.

So you ARE an MRA drone in disguise. Good to know.
Actually I always thought that the Schwarzkopf silhouette is women with short hair :D
That's the ridiculousness of many of these. Just because Schwarzkopf, Dreamworks and Bic don't have long hair, then they must be men/boys?. What is that saying about the artists idea of what a woman should be?
Me too!
Same here :)
Nup. Because Schwarzkopf was actually a man. It's his name.
I was going to say isnt schwarzkopf already a girl?
Me too. :)
I've also always perceived the schwarzkopf as female
Me too! My mom has had that kind of haircut all my childhood :'D
Me too. I always thought it looked like an older lady with short hair...
Me too!
Do you feel the empowerment, ladies? Suddenly you're paid the same as men, have equal job chances and don't face any kind of gender discrimination anymore. All thanks to a bunch of changed logos! That was easy.
Lol that was just for International Women Day (March 8th, every year)
Never knew that Nat'l Women's Day existed. I didn't receive my memo, but suddenly feel so empowered and my hourly pay jumped 6 digits. Amazing! This is just merchandising and a way to placate women, it means nothing.
They just added long hair? That in no way indicates gender?? Who’s to say the bic person isn’t a woman? Just really confusing and pointless.
Dear Bic, I'm more concerned the image is Supposed to have a sex/gender when the head is a black orb with a white circle.

You mean bi-racial
i get it, it's fun and they're well done, but doesn't this fall into the mens/womens version of things like soap, umbrellas, etc sexism stuff Bored Panda was outraged by a few weeks ago?
If this is what it takes for women to feel empowered, then they have their sights set WAY too low.
yeah, yeah, cute gif. Nice intention of these companies, I hope, not just *cough* marketing strategy.
It's weird because I never noticed the sex of these logos until this
Same here. I don’t think all of the criticism in the comments is misplaced— some of the logos could *already* have been any gender, and a pony tail doesn’t empower me— but I do find it thought-provoking to find how many logos and mascots are masculine, which I never noticed before. Almost like in many cases male is the default gender, and female is the “other.”
This is just so unnecessary. Stunts like this just spark ridicule against the movement for equality.
The amount of time it took for someone to come up and create these versions amazes me, only for me to take 10.6 seconds to look at the finished idea and be like.. Nah man.. But at least he did something with his spare time, I for one am sitting in a site called bored panda leaving comments wondering why the hell I'm so bored 😂
bic and dreamworks don't really work in my mind. Bic's character is non-binary and the dreamworks fisher could have been female anyway! (not all women or girls have long hair) but cool changes for all the rest! next year we should have all corporate characters change gender for the day for womans day!
Exactly. My mom kept my hair short until I was about 12, and my play clothes were from older cousins (all boys). And any bows or barettes fell right out, so that could be me sitting on the edge of the moon fishing.
Why are people mad? I think it's a fun way to see the "what if?" Let loose guys and let things just be fun.
I know right. Apparently many one here don't get creative freedom in celebration of woman's day. Pretty sad when most the ones doing it are woman! Gawd chill out you haters!
Lets put a dick on the Statue of Liberty!:D Maybe Lady Justice? Oprah?
Love the BIC with pigtails. Cute.
But Schwarzkopf logo IS a woman head, come on...
I get it about womens day but this is going too far!! People just need to grow up!
I actually thought that the schwartzkopf logo already was a woman, with fashionable short hair.
Women: We want equal representation in parliament! Idiots in high places: You mean we should change our companies mascot for one day?
Nice idea :)
How do we know that these "male" characters don't identify as females?:P
This post is sexist.
I shall respect everyone's opinions on this but mine is just the fact that I mostly enjoyed the creativity and the animated gender bending. Those made me smile since I studied animation. Otherwise, yes, some of it is getting ridiculous.
The Osc-hers surely? I'm guessing these are just puns yeah?
Right, like they should change it to the Osc-his and have a guy with a strong Boston accent host.
Garbage, just garbage.
Pretty amazed that Schwarzkopf has a man and not a woman in the logo. They're making products mostly for women.
I'm confused.. I always thought that it is a woman with short hair! Weird..
Think they've been using the same logo since 1903 (or possibly since the foundation of the company in 1898)
Well they make hair care products right? I mean those are pretty much unisex though aren't they?
Nice idea
I'm totally freaked out by the Pringles guy sucking in his mustache and popping it out the back of his head! So creepy!
Why do all the women have to look "young" unlike the men?
Change Mrs Butterworth into a dude? This is fucking dumb.
This is just plain stupid. Aren't feminism suppose to involve BOTH men and women?This is , like many things, give praise to ONE gender: women.
This is dumb
Is it me or do they make the Monopoly woman about 20 years younger than the man? Agism...
I don't feel empowered by this...
Changing a cartoon logo on food is... empowering? -confused- Silly me, I thought it was getting paid the same as men for the same work and being given respect no matter what gender you are.
They look exactly the same! It's the colour, font and design you see first. And sorry, but the BAFTA one just looks like an After and Before pic of Leonardo di Caprio or something.
where is the difference in the oscars one? I don't see it... also why it has to be a skinny oscars woman? why not a curvy one? this is ridiculous to do, keep logos as they are, bye
Funny, but only some of them loaded.
I never thought about them being male logos - except the Monopoly and Pringless. Short hair to me is gender neutral thing, and Schwarzkopf's logo has the same hair my mom has had my entire childhood :O
Just imagine changing Jesus or Mohammed to women. That would be the peak of blasphemy, but so awesome at the same time.
This just looks like it is just a bit of fun. As long as no one is saying they should all have women on them instead of men or any other crazy SJW rubbish, then just enjoy it.
Some of these are really nicely designed. I know this is a serious topic, and I don't want to detract from that, but as I watched this, I kept noticing that a few saw female as 'adding a ponytail'. My hair isn't a crew cut, but it is short... Too short to put into a ponytail without a fight. meanwhile, my bro is growing out his hair and it's almost longer than mine at the front. Just a thought
This just seems to be pointless.
Waist of time they were fine the way they were.
This is stupid.
Good to see McDonald's and MTV celebrating National Wumbo Day.
so, women all have long hair and wear it up/in braids? How THIS not also sexist. Give me a break!!
isn't MTV short for music tv though
Come on guys, of course this is not changing the way people think and conceive ideas, but it gets some attention to where its needed. Away from daily murder reports and aww look how cute this dog is to something more important. I think in order to change the way we currently think in genders we have to be surrounded by stuff like that for quite a while. And not only to achieve real - and not only on paper - gender equality. But also to be way more environmental conscious in order to not totally destroy our species in the next 10 years.
Good work for the people who put effort into some of them, but like many here I don’t think we really need them like that or anything. I get it they’re for International Women’s day, though.
Yeah, free advertising !
Wow that's stupid
Wtf has changing logos got to do with respecting women? Just respect them. Jeez.
Haha I loved Ms Pringles!
1rst of all women might choose to have mustaches too LOL ( not real or big tho cos that's something only biologically male ppl can have ) 2ndly McDonalds was just a big vag basically 😂 damn this looked almost as ridiculous as Washigton's obelisk
I love 💕 all of these not just for woman activist but they just look really cool.
Other than the Bic logo, most of these remove major visuals and it makes them worse. The Pringles one for example just looks empty without the mustache. Add more hair other than a ponytail. Same with monopoly, keep the monocle or add glasses.
Rich women can't wear monocles? That's sexist!
For the Pringles one, with only a ponytail on that side of the had is making me so uncomfortable.
Sorry to say but the Rich aunt Pennybags above looks more like a cabaret dancer than a billionaire.. And the case of Schwarzkopf logo is just sad example of stereotypical thinking where "empowering designer" assumes that women must have always a long hair and woman's head in the logo is not feminine enough.
Why is changing brand logos the top of our concerns to empower women? Just empower them like how everyone else is empowered.
Someone's going to get upset that Miss Pringlés is wearing pink glossy lips. Who is she trying to attract? Why is she bowing to the expected gender role?? I think the brands are fine they they are.
I don't really like this because they logos are fine the way they are and it's not like woman care that much that a logo is more masculine or is a man, it just bothers people when it is marketed towards men because it is more masculine. Also I never thought of the bic logo of actually being a guy I always just thought it was gender neutral, but whatever.
No offense, but some of these designs seem kind of simple to me to change, the title makes it sound more astounding than it seems to me. :p The mustache for monopoly and pringles is a bit too iconic to me too. :p
McDonald's and MTV don't even have a male logo anyways....
That's what I'm saying. They're literally changing an M to a W and making them Wusic TV and WcDonald's. It's so patronizing. Like what? M stands for man and W stands for woman? Apparently. So they should have also made their signs pink or blue as well. I mean it's absolutely ridiculous.
If women could get the real deal out of making feminine version of logos.... That would be a revolution! Sadly it won't... Awesome creativity but why can't be it the other way round too... Like making male version of Rolex... It obviously has queen's crown for its logo. It's time we stop pseudo feminism matters and work on what's actual logical view. 😊
Why though?
The Pringles one is pretty clever, others not as much.
Nice idea but i do not see the point. There are other logos which contain women in them, and we have never seen them being transformed on fathers' day.
You've just learn more that the Schwarzkopf head was not a woman with short hair.
How about women create new companies instead?
The reversed McDonald's logo reminds me of some anime series where the same W logo is used. For example in Watamote Tomoko visited WcDonald's. :D
Oh so THAT's why mcdonald's changed their logo! I'm such an idiot for not realizing.
I can't believe the "trans"-formation...sorry
I puked... too much of this ... please stop it's becoming one of the most ridiculous trends of the decade...
I'm a feminist and I think that these issues are completely irrelevant to the actual issues in the world that NEED feminism. Having lived in a 3rd world country for 18 years, I realized that pretty quick. There are acid attacks because the woman's family does not hand in the dowry (large quantity of money or property the wife's family give to the husband for taking care of his wife) on time, there are ladies who are forced to get an abortion because the child is a girl, some girls are forced to stay at home and have not attended school for once in their lifetime, and many more which leads to abuse and finally death. Changing logos empower nobody. People need to figure out what needs 'feminism' and what doesn't.
I really like Dremworks logo. They should really do this with female led movies
I liked Ms. Dreamworks, Ms. Monopoly just looks gay not female.
I hope people would focus on the real issues.....
They're just kissing ass in the hopes of making more money.
To be fair, we need to change the female company logos... Starbucks, Wendy's, Uncle Jemima, Betty Crocker, MR Butterworths, etc etc etc
Pointlessly-gendered logos & brands? 😑 https://www.buzzfeed.com/lorynbrantz/17-pointlessly-gendered-childrens-toys?utm_term=.mu54YolWq#.fsEEbaNq2 https://www.buzzfeed.com/tanyachen/bread-canadian-women-can-finally-buy?utm_term=.clD4ND3z3G#.gkkz16gqgl

Some person thinks that empowering women is feminizing everything instead of pledging for equality. At the same time, other people is offended if someone defines them as male or female. What a time to be alive...
Miss Monopoly looks AWESOME =D

More Bullshit Feminism crap. Let me talk to the man in charge.
This isn't feminism though. It's just bullshit. Feminism is different than this.
Sorry I prefer them the way they are. This is just getting stupid and ridiculous

where is the difference in the oscars one? I don't see it... also why it has to be a skinny oscars woman? why not a curvy one? this is ridiculous to do, keep logos as they are, bye
Funny, but only some of them loaded.
I never thought about them being male logos - except the Monopoly and Pringless. Short hair to me is gender neutral thing, and Schwarzkopf's logo has the same hair my mom has had my entire childhood :O
Just imagine changing Jesus or Mohammed to women. That would be the peak of blasphemy, but so awesome at the same time.
This just looks like it is just a bit of fun. As long as no one is saying they should all have women on them instead of men or any other crazy SJW rubbish, then just enjoy it.
Some of these are really nicely designed. I know this is a serious topic, and I don't want to detract from that, but as I watched this, I kept noticing that a few saw female as 'adding a ponytail'. My hair isn't a crew cut, but it is short... Too short to put into a ponytail without a fight. meanwhile, my bro is growing out his hair and it's almost longer than mine at the front. Just a thought
This just seems to be pointless.
Waist of time they were fine the way they were.
This is stupid.
Good to see McDonald's and MTV celebrating National Wumbo Day.
so, women all have long hair and wear it up/in braids? How THIS not also sexist. Give me a break!!
isn't MTV short for music tv though
Come on guys, of course this is not changing the way people think and conceive ideas, but it gets some attention to where its needed. Away from daily murder reports and aww look how cute this dog is to something more important. I think in order to change the way we currently think in genders we have to be surrounded by stuff like that for quite a while. And not only to achieve real - and not only on paper - gender equality. But also to be way more environmental conscious in order to not totally destroy our species in the next 10 years.
Good work for the people who put effort into some of them, but like many here I don’t think we really need them like that or anything. I get it they’re for International Women’s day, though.
Yeah, free advertising !
Wow that's stupid
Wtf has changing logos got to do with respecting women? Just respect them. Jeez.
Haha I loved Ms Pringles!
1rst of all women might choose to have mustaches too LOL ( not real or big tho cos that's something only biologically male ppl can have ) 2ndly McDonalds was just a big vag basically 😂 damn this looked almost as ridiculous as Washigton's obelisk
I love 💕 all of these not just for woman activist but they just look really cool.
Other than the Bic logo, most of these remove major visuals and it makes them worse. The Pringles one for example just looks empty without the mustache. Add more hair other than a ponytail. Same with monopoly, keep the monocle or add glasses.
Rich women can't wear monocles? That's sexist!
For the Pringles one, with only a ponytail on that side of the had is making me so uncomfortable.
Sorry to say but the Rich aunt Pennybags above looks more like a cabaret dancer than a billionaire.. And the case of Schwarzkopf logo is just sad example of stereotypical thinking where "empowering designer" assumes that women must have always a long hair and woman's head in the logo is not feminine enough.
Why is changing brand logos the top of our concerns to empower women? Just empower them like how everyone else is empowered.
Someone's going to get upset that Miss Pringlés is wearing pink glossy lips. Who is she trying to attract? Why is she bowing to the expected gender role?? I think the brands are fine they they are.
I don't really like this because they logos are fine the way they are and it's not like woman care that much that a logo is more masculine or is a man, it just bothers people when it is marketed towards men because it is more masculine. Also I never thought of the bic logo of actually being a guy I always just thought it was gender neutral, but whatever.
No offense, but some of these designs seem kind of simple to me to change, the title makes it sound more astounding than it seems to me. :p The mustache for monopoly and pringles is a bit too iconic to me too. :p
McDonald's and MTV don't even have a male logo anyways....
That's what I'm saying. They're literally changing an M to a W and making them Wusic TV and WcDonald's. It's so patronizing. Like what? M stands for man and W stands for woman? Apparently. So they should have also made their signs pink or blue as well. I mean it's absolutely ridiculous.
If women could get the real deal out of making feminine version of logos.... That would be a revolution! Sadly it won't... Awesome creativity but why can't be it the other way round too... Like making male version of Rolex... It obviously has queen's crown for its logo. It's time we stop pseudo feminism matters and work on what's actual logical view. 😊
Why though?
The Pringles one is pretty clever, others not as much.
Nice idea but i do not see the point. There are other logos which contain women in them, and we have never seen them being transformed on fathers' day.
You've just learn more that the Schwarzkopf head was not a woman with short hair.
How about women create new companies instead?
The reversed McDonald's logo reminds me of some anime series where the same W logo is used. For example in Watamote Tomoko visited WcDonald's. :D
Oh so THAT's why mcdonald's changed their logo! I'm such an idiot for not realizing.
I can't believe the "trans"-formation...sorry
I puked... too much of this ... please stop it's becoming one of the most ridiculous trends of the decade...
I'm a feminist and I think that these issues are completely irrelevant to the actual issues in the world that NEED feminism. Having lived in a 3rd world country for 18 years, I realized that pretty quick. There are acid attacks because the woman's family does not hand in the dowry (large quantity of money or property the wife's family give to the husband for taking care of his wife) on time, there are ladies who are forced to get an abortion because the child is a girl, some girls are forced to stay at home and have not attended school for once in their lifetime, and many more which leads to abuse and finally death. Changing logos empower nobody. People need to figure out what needs 'feminism' and what doesn't.
I really like Dremworks logo. They should really do this with female led movies
I liked Ms. Dreamworks, Ms. Monopoly just looks gay not female.
I hope people would focus on the real issues.....
They're just kissing ass in the hopes of making more money.
To be fair, we need to change the female company logos... Starbucks, Wendy's, Uncle Jemima, Betty Crocker, MR Butterworths, etc etc etc

Some person thinks that empowering women is feminizing everything instead of pledging for equality. At the same time, other people is offended if someone defines them as male or female. What a time to be alive...
Miss Monopoly looks AWESOME =D

More Bullshit Feminism crap. Let me talk to the man in charge.
This isn't feminism though. It's just bullshit. Feminism is different than this.
