Over 100,000 votes were cast and now Bazooka Joe, the well-known face of Bazooka Bubble Gum, has a brand new look! Bazooka Candy Brands, a division of Topps, tapped four top artists to help develop more than 100 potential new looks for Bazooka Joe and for 16 weeks fans were invited to be part of the excitement by voting for their favorites at BazookaJoe.com. Voting closed on May 31st and today, the winning Bazooka Joe, designed by illustrator Victor Intrasombat of Clockwork Animation, was revealed at BazookaJoe.com and in a broadcast spot, featuring him in a stylish, modern version of his well-known ensemble of jeans, t-shirt, and baseball cap. Now that Joe has a new look, he, along with his pal Mort will be spotlighted in comics, games and activities in Bazooka Bubble Gum packs starting later this year.
To assist with Bazooka Joe’s refresh, Bazooka Candy
Brands and their agency, Flint & Steel, worked with a diverse group
of impressive illustrators. In addition to Victor Instrasombat of
Clockwork Animation, who created the winning illustration,
other artists that contributed potential new looks include Benjamin
Balistreri (How to Train Your Dragon), Robert Lilly (Nickelodeon Animation Studios), and Ben Reynolds (mobile games for
Ghostbusters and Monster Pet Shop). Each of the participating artists were selected for their talent and their Bazooka Joe fandom.
Asked for comment, Bazooka Joe bubbled with
excitement, “Thanks to all of the fans who helped me talk Topps into
finding me a new getup. New hairstyle, new clothes – I’m ready to take
on the world!”
To celebrate the new look of Bazooka Joe, The Topps
Company will also issue a special edition digital trading card that
showcases the updated spokes-character. The digital trading card will
be available in the
Topps® BUNT® 2015 app beginning today. The
Topps® BUNT® 2015 app is available on the App Store and
Google Play Store.

The Topps Company was founded in 1938 as Topps Chewing Gum, and in its early years produced a popular penny "Topps Gum" from a factory in Brooklyn, N.Y. After World War II, the company developed Bazooka Bubble Gum, and in 1950, added trading cards to its product line. Baseball cards appeared in 1951 and quickly became a vital part of pop culture, a tradition that continues to this day. The product line now includes football (both American and European) and basketball, in addition to entertainment cards, stickers and albums.
