=== Shop fascias === The [[Sainsbury's, Greenwich|flagship supermarket in Greenwich]], South London, first trialled a modern "Sainsbury's" look, leading to the term 'Greenwich Blue', which was used to describe the signature colour of new identity. After its success most supermarkets were refurbished with dark blue walls, bright orange wall panels and grey shelving, as well as new checkouts. Individual counters also had different, brightly coloured panels behind them. Gradually the format was rolled out across the entire Sainsbury's estate. The 'Greenwich Blue' look has been phased out and new supermarkets now have a fresher look.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/sainsburys-tesco-asda-logos-certain-12779611|title=Why Sainsbury's, Tesco and Asda logos are certain colours|newspaper=Coventry Telegraph|access-date=12 April 2017|archive-date=12 April 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170412224623/http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/sainsburys-tesco-asda-logos-certain-12779611|url-status=live}}</ref> Old external signage bearing the 'J Sainsbury' name was still to be found in use as recently as summer 2011 in Swindon, Ashbourne in Derbyshire and Blackheath, West Midlands.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/alexmartin81/5998423061/|title=Timewarp Wiltshire|work=Flickr|date=August 2011 |access-date=21 March 2015|archive-date=2 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402164823/https://www.flickr.com/photos/alexmartin81/5998423061/|url-status=live}}</ref>
