New Pepsi Logo Looks Like Obama Campaign Logo

Kenny West

The “WOW” billboards started to appear after the election – could it be Pepsico’s reaction to O being elected?
Real Americans drink Coke anyway

Whoever compared Obama’s campaign to Hitler’s campaign is a dolt. Read a book. Hitler got into power through a mixture of friend in high places, assassinations, violence, fear, and promises of ethnic cleansing. Oh and who the hell really gives a damn about two different logos with the same color key?

“For what it’s worth, I’ve always been a fan of the logo introduced in 1971″

Shame you didn’t put that one on the page instead of the eighties reworking you have put on

this is stupid, pepsi has been around way longer than obama has been alive! the new logo is just a twist off the 1962/71/87 logos. the white part is just tapers towards one end. this is ridiculous, and obama is an idiot.

Pepsi? Seriously, if it was obama behind this it would be grape or peach soda. Maybe skrawberry while they were walking down the skreet.

Uh, okay. Pepsi has designed a logo similar to this one since 1962. Their logo looks nothing like Obama's except they're both “Red, White and Blue”. Who fucking cares what color the logo's are? Fucking idiots. As you can probably tell, I drink Pepsi and can't stand Obama.

sbosquez

Walked into our local Kroger and saw a Pepsi display and on the cube box it says HOPE with this new Obama looking logo. Don't drink Pepsi and glad!

The O

lol, 1 million? I think they should've searched for a graphic designer on craigslist, they woudl've found somebody for cheaper and gotten either the same or better results

millere10

I totally agree. I won't be buying Pepsi products anymore.

The new Pepsi logo sucks big time! It looks like that idiotic Obama campaign logo and EVERYONE knows how stupid that entire administration is. Who was the influencing factor behind this stupid move? If Pepsi wants their sales to go up then Pepsi should go back to any one of the logos from 1962, 1971 or 1987.

Blade

What change did he bring ?? OH that right higher taxes on everyone, Government take over of companies, lack of response to needed more man power in Afganistan, kissing Pelois back side. and lying thru his teeth. I stopped drinking pepsi products a long time ago when they were support a well know pediphile. Yes the so called new logo is an direct link to the O man's logo. What a bunch of crap. Pepsi will loose a lot of customers ………….. good ridence !

Call me old-fashioned, but there is “something” about the 1951 logo that is so … classic. For one thing, it reminds us that the number one brand in cola — Coca-Cola — has somehow managed to innovate, revamp, and introduce a variety of new product lines and branding without giving up on ITS classic logo — the script-style emblem that continues to adorn anything that is, unequivocally, its core brand — the “Coke” that has calories, sodium, no designer flavors … just good old Coca-Cola emblazoned in white against a bright red background. I loved Pepsi as kid, and I've often wondered whether the ad people they pay the big bucks to have ever thought of the wisdom of “going back” and re-embracing the design that proclaimed “Pepsi-Cola” in huge letters, sometimes against the bottle top, from Times Square to the machine at the garage.

Now wait a minute, c'mon people…. Although The Obama logo is also red, white and blue. It looks like a blue sky with a white sun setting behind the American stipes, The pepsi logo looks like the old Pepsi logo stepping away from the ying yang symbol. Although this new Pepsi logo too is red, white and blue. However, it does NOT look like the Obama logo…unless you just want it to. It does have the same colors, and it is round. But side by side there is a clear! difference. They are round with the same colors But! they are clearly two different logos. Amazing how some people just want to start trouble for nothing.

You're not the first person to claim this. The new logo, looks almost identical to the OLD LOGO. Whereas the Obama logo incorporates a circle, and the colors of our flag, the similarities END. If you want to make the argument that the new logo looks like the Obama logo, then the OLD ONE IS JUST AS SIMULAR. So Obama would have to have ripped off Pepsi. God damn you people are idiots.

melekapono

I think the logo is ugly and really, rather cheap looking. Yes it does look like the Obama logo and frankly, I think that is no coicidence considering the stand Pepsi takes on issues. Furthermore, the font, in comparison to all past fonts since 1898, is weak. I don't know, but I'm wondering if Pepsi is a translation somewhere for pipsqueak because all your other logos, the word is bold, strong, out there making a statement. All this and a bad tasting soft drink to boot. To spend over $1,000,000 to create a logo? And where does the money come from? The consumer. Why don't you instead have a contest? 1) Let your customers submit designs to you and let us all vote on it. Your new logo isn't anything so brilliant that my 9 year old niece couldn't improve upon.

jimmiekutscher

I honestly do not nor have I ever liked the new logo,however I have been a true Pepsi believer for Fourty years or so. It's just my opinion. Thanks

Ed

To tie a LOGO to a Socialist President is RISKY AT BEST…NO MORE PEPSI FOR ME.

genevievejb

Leave My pepsi alone.. to me the 1962 looks good,, 1971 looked good,,1981 looked ok too,, ev,, Why waste money on something I going to ,,
just drink,, save the cost.. and give everyone,, a cut over the counter,, People who love pepsi,, would be more greatful,, for the cut in price,, and would allow us to keep drink,, the same,, delisious drink we have always loved.. Just leave my pepsi drink alone,, leave the lable alone,, and,, allow the customer,, to,, have a few cent cut in the price,,plus keep all your employes working supplying me,, my favorite drinkm,, A ice cold pepsi.,,

stonerhythms

Wow you people are freaking hilarious.”I'm not buying pepsi products anymore”….all this over a logo that pretty much looks like there logos from before……….thanks for the chuckle you freaks.

Tony

Anyone that thinks the pepsi logo looks like the obamo campaign logo is on crack!

annoyedatstupidity

You don't evenknow him to hate him, you might not like him, but OMG come on people is it really that serious? What the hell does pepsi have to do with Obama??? It could b what the call a coincidence. I don't think pepsi really believes that the logo will cause some hype and more people will drink it, if you don't like pepso or dark pop you won't drink it just because you think or they think it's related to Obama some how. And the firsr fool who made a reference to Hitler, there is no comparison in the two Obama is not a cold-blooded killer, he does not have the same values or beliefs or ideas or anything else for that matter. This all sounds really stupid, you all are thinking about the wrong things.

annoyedatstupidity

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. Cult like following??? Now it's a cult like following because there is a black man in the White house??? Black people we don't do cult's, that is a White thing, U never hear of black people joining cult's and everybody killing themselves for one stupid person for no real reason!! Obama wants to make things better, he's not having people leave their families behind and throw their lives away to live in one big house with him while he feeds you a bunch of Bs and use snake blood and chants. I'm by far a racist but it is apparent that there is definitely some racism going on here and racist remarks, but whateva the case he is there in the WHITE HOUSE, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU DON'T LIKE IT AND HE'S GOT 4 YEARS TO GO SO DEAL WITH IT…..HAHAHAHAHAH

annoyedatstupidity

Thank U JSTU, they are very unintelligent and uninformed. Very well said, couldn't said it better myself, a bunch of morons and idiots we have here, with a lack of an intelligent conversation. Well hell don't drink PEPSI, they won't miss U!!!!

annoyedatstupidity

DUKE YOU ARE STUPID AND SHOULD BURN IN HELL FOR THAT COMMENT, WELL IDIOT DON'T DRINK PEPSI AND THAT IS WHY HE'S RUNNING YOUR COUNTRY TOO, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT..hahahahaha SO DEAL WITH IT. AND PEPSI SHOULD FIRE YOUR ASS AND SEND YOU TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND CALL HIM A BASTARD TO HIS FACE. THIS SHOWS YOUR LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE…NONE0-0 FOOL.

Get real not everything is about Obama

I am a longtime employee of the Coca-Cola bottling system and in my time, I have known these efforts to take years.

Yeah, I am thinking the Pepsi logo was in the making before Senator Obama was serious about becoming the POTUS. Imitation is the….

JE

As far as the two logos looking VERY similar, I will use a popular phrase from the current television show, “NCIS”: “Ya think, Denozo??”!!! The logo “just happened” to be changed the SAME YEAR after B.O.'s surge in popularity in the 2008 elections — and the head of Pepsi, last I knew, “just happens” to be a Negro woman. Also, has a Caucasian American (or of any other race) candidate for U.S. President, during the national Presidental campaign, EVER created his/her OWN PRESIDENTIAL LOGO before in history?? Answer: not that I know of!!! Now THAT action/logo was audacity on a grandiose, extremely narciscisstic scale….but, then, we are talking about B.HUSSEIN O. — so, it shouldn't be at all surprising. “Ya think, Denozo??”

craigmd

Interesting. I just saw an ad in the WSJ today (11/10/09) and thought it looked incredibly similar to Obama's logo and googled it. It turned me off to see Pepsi looking like Obama. Pepsi – like Coca Cola – are American institutions, and to be even close in appearance to the most radically left administration the U.S.A. has ever seen is appalling. GE shot themselves in the foot by getting overly cozy with the administration to the detriment of their shareholders, and Pepsi, if this is deliberate, will do the same.
Also, like the 1971 logo the best, with 1962 as a close second.

Anonymous by right

WTF, this logo is a disgrace, no one likes this logo, and pepsi must undo what they have done, and upon learning that pepsi is now publicly aligned with the obama administration by their actions, I will now NOT buy any pepsi at all until they fix this grand error, not because of which political party they are involved with, but because they got political, which they shouldn't have done.

I'm sorry. I do believe Reverend Wright has a “black cult following.” So yes, you people do the cult thing as well. He preaches to kill white men which if reversed white people would be called racists. (I believe it's called “black theology.”) Oh, and those chickens coming home to roost are White people sick and tired of black people pulling the race card when they don't even know what the definition of an actual racist is. And yes, if you'd studied anything having to do with Hitler and the 3rd Reich you would know that like Obama he too had his logo, his following and wanted to annihilate the Jewish race. Obama is trying to get “social justice” by annihilating the white race. The only problem here is, the people that didn't vote for him or believe in his BS are going to suffer along with the rest of the “believers.”

It would be far more accurate to say the Obama logo looks like the new Pepsi logo which was released just prior to the Obama logo, however take a look at the old Pepsi logo, it is even more similar. I have heard it rumored that the designer who did the Obama logo has gotten in some trouble for the design being so similar. (not legal trouble mind you, just a bad rep)

codymosbey

I agree the two logos are dangerously similar to each other. Also I agree with your logo choice of 1971.
I wish the bottles and cans would go back to 1971 logo. I absolutely do not like the new logo. I feel the same about the Mountain Dew logo as well.

mmykl

if you can be controlled by a f—ing pop can methinks you have been using too much coke. you have an illumination problem–not too bright. why is it all of you wing nuts go staight to saying he is just like hitler. i don't know if you noticed he is black.

mmykl

man i bet telemarketers love peolpe like you who have such strong wills that the sight of a pop can can be create such a response. better get those meds checked-you either need to re-dose or change medications.

Cookie

I'm shocked that no one has researched the CEO of Pepsi who is a Muslim and the logo does have a definite significance.

Gerald Douglas Paule

You're an idiot!

jbiz5037

I am a Pepsi employee. I deliver the pop daily to customers. I have people talk to me daily about our products and what new things we are coming out with. Never have I heard this stupid talk about the President's logo and Pepsi's being the same or tied together. In fact the logo was designed and set to launch way before obama made his logo. Before the new wraps and can images could be used production had to use up all the old logos first. It took quite a while for the old stuff to be used before they changed the graphics to the new logo which just happed to be released aroiund when obama ran for president. so to stop drinking pepsi because of a stupid color scheme and a wavy red white and blue logo. i think pepsi had the red white and blue wave a long time before obama was even born. Grow up and just drink the best beverage in the world PEPSI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vandy1521

The Obama logo is an inverted Pepsi logo. It is a typical brain washing or propaganda technique to mirror a familiar object that people are subconciously comfortable with.Thanks for delivering two of the most poisonous substances to our children ; high fructose corn syrup and Aspartame.

change we don't need

I don't know if it was intentional or not but just to be safe….I plan to stop drinking Pepsi.

ForLiberalDeportation

A coincidence?! Talk about ignorant. I suppose you also think it is “just a coincidence” that more and more advertisements over the past decade(s) have been emasculating heterosexual white males and depicting them as mindless idiots, that the vast majority of what is seen, heard, or read in the media is blatantly liberally-biased, and that nearly every business is now adopting liberal-friendly campaigns (promoting “greenness”, supporting interests that are exclusive to women like “breast cancer awareness” and women's heart health, etc.). It's appalling that any business would act as a propaganda machine for the government, and nothing even remotely resembling this took place during the Bush administration (or that of any other Republican president, to my knowledge). Pepsi deserves severe criticism for this, if not an outright boycott. I do agree that Obama “repersents”[sic] a new life; unemployment hasn't been this high in decades, his lackluster response to the Gulf oil spill is costing millions (or billions) of dollars, his federal spending policies are wasting even more money. By the way, are you trolling? How ironic that “annoyedatstupidity” liked your post.
