Just need a red magic marker to adjust them.

FYI, this design has been penisless since it was founded.

I don't see much official about that website. This one seems a bit more legit if you ask me: https://www.mondelezinternational.com/our-brands/toblerone/

But also feel free to look up their logo change, many websites reported on it.

The bear has always been depicted on official documents with a red phallus. In view of this tradition, the cantonal government believed that it was reasonable to continue to depict the bear in this way. Nor did it wish to conduct an online survey on the bear’s future appearance. In its view, such a survey would not be representative and would have little informative value.

depict the bear without its masculine attributes, so that the population as a whole would feel better represented

How would a bear without a penis represent more people than a bear with a penis?

The cantonal government was responding to a written question from Liberal Green parliamentarian Thomas Brönnimann, who wondered whether it would not be more appropriate to depict the bear without its masculine attributes, so that the population as a whole would feel better represented.

I wish progress was instead defined by people speaking up for themselves and privileged people only supporting them to raise their voice...
