People in design boards tore apart that new Pepsi logo, but I think it’s neat that the logo is flexible enough to change between the different Pepsi products.
the parson video was awesome. great art, and a really honest, miserable narrative. nice pick.
p.s. YIIIIIIIIIIIIIKES

the wolverines, spartans and red raiders.
um, I really like that Euro design… I wish we put that kind of thought into the design of some of our coins…
I agree Pepsi is interesting as they apply it to all the different flavors…but the blue, the logo, and white type does look a bit “Obama Cola” to me.
Guess I’ll wait till I see the actual product before my final decision. I think it’s cool to rebrand something like this, and usually Pepsi goes for minor tweaks. But it’s THAT blue with white san serif and a circular red, white, blue that is so Obama to me.
