New Pepsi Logo Looks Like Obama Campaign Logo

Written on October 27, 2008 by Adam Kmiec in Marketing & Advertising

Is it me or does this new Pepsi logo look just like the Barack Obama campaign logo?

The new logo was rumored to have cost over $1,000,000 to create. Look, I’m not saying they are exactly the same, but c’mon they do look like very similar. For what it’s worth, I’ve always been a fan of the logo introduced in 1971.

Other than the both of them being round, and having a kind of similar coloration I see no similarity whatsoever. Its like saying apples and oranges are the same, because they're both kinda round and fruit.

Pepsi has now cheapened its formula. Notice the change in color of their cans this year. This is due to them reformulating and I would suggest they have gone to a cheaper fructose like Coke did years ago. The result is a watered down version of the original formula. Check it out yourself ! I really noticed it with their caffeine free Pepsi that used to be in a blue can.

Have I really heard that Pepsi in a can now has a new display of our American flag and our American Pledge of Allegiance but has omitted the “under God” of our pledge as trying to not offend anyone. I AM OFFENDED. Please tell me you are not really using this new design.

I use to be a Pepsi customer,that’s the only drink i would have at my home. I have switched to Coca Cola because whether it was done on purpose or not,it looks to much like that idiots logo thats in the white house
and as an American i don’t want his changes, DO YOU?
By the way, what are obamas successes?

Humans you need to open their eyes and understand what really is going on in this world of ours. It just takes a little bit of research and i’m only 14 and I know a lot more than most of you. Let me tell you why it is so similar Obama’s logo represents hope if you look at a pepsi can look at it like this red white blue (representing hope) and read pepsi back upside down. HOPE IS DED the so called illuminati or the freemason currently control the world and the media what they are trying to do is brainwash and make us think their way. A lot of famous people died because they were against these people e.g. 2pac michael jackson and other famous people and their also are people that sold their souls in exchange for fame another exampleis jay Z and Rihanna and the list goes on and on. I know some people might agree or disagree and think this is a whole load of bullshit if you want to know more just go on youtube and watch The Arrivals.

Thanks

PEPSI,
I think it is DISGUSTING that you decided to “jump on the Obama train” and screw the American people with both you “new logo” and the thought that you are taking UNDER GOD” away from which it stands for.

THIS MOVE CAUSED YOU TO LOSE 7 people from my family who are Pepsi drinkers and all my friends who drink it too, as I have made them aware of what PEPSI IS TRYING TO DO TAKING AWAY AMERICANS RIGHTS by taking Obama’s lead of TAKING DOWN THE COUNTRY – BIT BY BIT.

PEPSI SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES…….
MissyM

I think it is disgusting that you do not see ANY of the points made in this article. Pepsi is trying to undermind the AMERICAN PEOPLE, to be on Obama’s train…plain and simple. PEPSI took a stand to disrespect what America stands for…don’t you get it?????

Pepsi may be #1 (for those who even care)…but they have to remember that it is the AMERICAN PEOPLE who drink it – and I sure as hel.l will not be drinking it any more because of their insensitivity. PEPSI DOES NOT REALIZE WHAT THEY ARE PLANNING TO DO WILL OFFEND EVERY TRUE AMERICAN..AND LOSE BUSINESS BECAUSE OF IT.

Symbols have a powerful meaning just like whats on the american dollar bill.

I do not like the new logo period. I am also a fan of the 1971 logo, and would like it back.

guys do your research on conspiracy theories.. then turn your next can or bottle of pepsi upside down and read pepsi while its upside down.
the government control us. the system controls the government. if we’re not the system we’re the puppets and thats the way it goes. anyone who tries to fight that…. is ded – pepsi

Well said. I can’t believe what all these idiots are saying.

The article’s ONLY point is that the logos look similar. I’m pretty sure that you or your family not drinking it will not affect business for Pepsi, after all you don’t represent every American. Take your bitter self somewhere else, please.

Enough Productive Americans have stopped drinking Pepsi after seeing the new logo and seeing the DO GOOD 0bama brainwashing crap messages on the sides of the Pepsi packages. Notice Pepsi has dropped those?
meinlas

Some people see with their hearts and minds…others continue to be in the dark…brainwashed. You would probably see the Emperor’s new clothes. We see him naked. HOPE you woke up this past year.

I stopped purchasing Pepsi for our suite when they came out with that new logo that looks an awful lot like that horrid Obama logo. Pepsi should take a hard look at what happened to Doprah when she endorsed Obama…she lost half her viewers. I started buying Coke products and the office folks like it much better anyway!
