I love looking at logos that the evolution of logos. The 1950 - 1986 logo awesome as was the logo following it. I like the new logo as far as the circle and inside it...but don't like the black and dark blue stuff around it!
Not sure but it seems like maybe the blue circles aren't a part of the actual logo, or maybe just won't be on cans?

I could have sworn that last logo had come out a couple years ago but 14 years ago? I must be getting old.

Pepsi is the best tasting drink there is. Prove me wrong.

I'll never understand how Coke is so widely regarded as superior.

I would have guessed that '87-97 logo to have started sooner and lasted longer than it did. I'm probably overweighting it because I was growing up then, but that to me is by far the most iconic of their logos.

Actually the 1909-1949 logo is wrong.

There was a version up to about 1951 that was more detailed script with a colon ( : ) between Pepsi and Cola. After about 1952 is when the logo they're showing for 1909-1949 is when that simplified script logo was used. Up into the mid 70's or so.

The one shown as 1950-1986 came in around 1960.

Interesting to note that Pepsi used red/yellow (Cardinal and Gold?) in their advertising in the 30's and early 40's. After the beginning of WWII they used the now common red-white-blue, as it was more in keeping with supporting the US war effort.

I was a big-time Pepsi paraphernalia collectable for about 20 years. They're getting better at it but I used to see Pepsi product/signage placement in period-set movies that were incorrect (too new) for the setting of the movie.

Not sure how they got this so wrong.

That said, I do like the updated/new logo!

I like that they've gone back to the old-school symmetrical lines within the circle, but am not a fan of the new font. Makes it look kind of like an oil/gas sign IMO. Thoughts?

Holy cow on that 1898 logo. Is that with cocaine, or just drawn under the influence of it?
