Kottke: New Pepsi logo

Posted by jason@kottke.org on under pepsi logo, billis, sime, time effort, back to the future, pepsi, coca cola, 10 years, decades, feelings, colors, logos |

What do I think about the new Pepsi logo? Eh. Companies spend way too much time, effort, and money building up feelings about logos -- like decades and billions of dollars -- and then they just go and change it all. Of course the new logo and colors are similar to the old ones and it's variations on a theme but the new designs feel like someone's idea of what packaging is going to look like 10 years from now, an approach that never seems to work out well (see Back to the Future II). Coca-Cola had such success refreshing their brand with a simple take on their classic look and logo, why can't Pepsi do the same with this classic look?

This How-To article is completely useless, and a very small percentage of people will actually follow it, but whatever.
