"Also let us not forget the other iconic leader with cool symbols and catchy phrases… Hitler!! ... America need to watch our F—ing backs... being a HUGE MISTAKE!!!!
Your comments are unintelligent, uninformed, and for lack of a better term moronic. Your contribution to this world so far has been unimportant and regressive, perhaps we would all be better if your existence had not occurred. So far you have shown to be a disgrace to the human race. I feel pity on those who tried to raise you, bless their soul, they tried so hard, but it appears that they too were lacking in ability. When you look in the mirror in the morning do you feel sad for what you have become? A cold, hatred filled individual who's satisfaction in this world rivals only your ability to provide meaningful and thought provoking contributions in lack of depth ...
Apply the above paragraph to kma as well...
Aso let us not forget the other iconic leader with cool symbols and catchy phrases... Hitler!! so all i am saying that WE, America need to watch our F---ing backs and know that wat is popular winds up being a HUGE MISTAKE!!!!
strange...wonder if cokes gonna make a Mccain logo lol
i thought the same exact thing
I think that it is a stupid tactic. I won't drink Pepsi products anymore.
i guess it looks kind of like a circle with the colors red white and blue in it
I mean, what if anythign has Pepsi changed about it's product that inspires hope, or optimism, or would cause you to shout horray? Nothing. It's the same. The only thing that has changed that would be 'horray' or 'hope' worthy is the change of the guard in the Oval Office. I am not ready to write off Pepsi as that is just plain dumb, but to ignore that there is an obvious correlation is also as stupid. My two cents.
And, side note to Jstu, were your comments really necessary? I mean seriously, it's okay to disagree with people--that's the beauty of America--but to degrade their very existence? Come on man, let's have some integrity and basic respect for fellow human beings.
Not a good logo to use when so many teenagers have access to a Sharpie :)
OBAMA? APOLOGIZES BEFORE EVERY SPEECH... GETS CAUGHT NOT PAYING ATTENTION WHEN IN CONGRESS... LOL, AND NOW IS GOING TO RUN OUR COUNTRY WHEN HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT HOW TO RUN ANYTHING! I LOVED MT DEW. BUT FROM TODAY ON, NOT A SINGLE PERSON IN MY FAMILY WILL EVER TOUCH PEPSI AGAIN... LOL BTW ANYONE READ REVELATIONS IN THE BIBLE? (YES I KNOW, BUT IF YOU READ SOME OF THE THINGS MAY SCARE YOU...) I JUST FIND IT FUNNY HOW OBAMA IS SO BIG HEADED LIKE HE IS THE "AMERICAN SAVIOR" HE IS GOING TO LOWER TAXES, BRING PEACE TO THE MIDDLE EAST, AND BE A HERO TO ALL THE BUMS OF AMERICA WHO LOVE THE THOUGHT OF GETTING A BIGGER WELFARE CHECK EVERY MONTH... AND THE GAYS WHO WANT TO EXPLOIT MARRIAGE... AND THE WOMEN WHO DONT USE BIRTH CONTROL AND DONT WANT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF A KID... OK OFF MY SOAP BOX ALL OF THIS TO SAY, IF PEPSI SUPPORTS A MAN OF SUCH HORRIBLE MORALS... I WILL NEVER PUT ANOTHER PENNY INTO THEIR INDUSTRY.

Better go peel that faded American flag sticker off the old SUV, too -- people might think you actually support the leader of the nation if you continue to sport that flag! Patriotism is so Bush-administration anyway, right?
..then, when the waitress asks "is pepsi okay?" they'll reply yes and suck down their pepsi with the smug satisfaction that they asked for coke first.

Ever wondered why you can’t buy ‘Diet’ Phoenix or Phoenix ‘Zero’? It’s because we pride ourselves on producing the most natural soft drinks you can buy. That means avoiding anything artificial, including Aspartame.
Aspartame is by far the most common artificial sweetener in ‘diet’ drinks and foods. It’s always been controversial and according to independent (non-industry funded) doctors and researchers, Aspartame can cause a range of symptoms ranging from mild and transitory to debilitating and life-threatening. From headaches and depression to blindness, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and multiple sclerosis. Ironically for a ‘diet’ additive, Aspartame is even claimed to encourage obesity because it stimulates a craving for carbohydrates!
Given the amount of time and money going into this, it is hard to imagine that this perspective was not seen. However, is just as likely to be unintended either way or fully intended, you will never know. It would drive us into a civil disaster if anything happened to Obama. I wish him no harm. Consider the messiah iconography that accompanies him and the comparison to JFK. Hopefully these comparisons end with his life and are not applied to his death.
Pour me another glass! You can make any superstitious comparison that you wish and it still means nothing except the energy you give it. All's I'm saying is it is ridiculous to switch to Coke because you think Pepsi supports Obama. Pepsi supports itself and is just using the changing of the guard to get community based advertising for free. If you really want to make relevant choices on your consumerism, don't support products that victimize vulnerable populations.
Change starts with you and your household. Take advantage of the spirit of change in the air to manifest something significant in the lives of you, your family and then outward from there. Get to know your neighbors. Network and know what to do for each other in your neighborhood. Support constitutional government. Get involved. Be kind, not rude. Spread an uplifting word. Support your local economy. Start a community garden or a TimeBank etc...
66 million ppl agree...pepsi's better.
by the way, President Obama has a new logo...looks like the white house.
check it out. www.whitehouse.gov
What the new logo looks like to me is a big red butt sitting down on a blue chair.
I think it's far too feminine a design - bordering on what a tampon logo would look like.
Damn Jstu, you've got some serious problems. What a colorful display of hatred towards someone who did absolutely nothing wrong.
The Doctor should've thrown you out and kept the placenta....haha.
The new Pepsi logo does in fact look like the Obama campaign symbol... Could this be a sign that we are leaning closer to becoming a socialist regime? First nationalize the railroads (Amtrack), then the banks (bailouts), the automakers, and now Pepsi...
Mark my words.. one day we are all going to be wearing red, white, and blue jumpsuits and jumping on the company (government) train to go to our jobs making pot metal products. Oh and we'll owe the Chinese everything we make.
First it's so obvious that the two logos are similar - there is a giant billboard with the word "HOPE" by the office. No mention of the word "Pepsi" but it is their logo in place of the O, not Obama's. Clearly Pepsi is trying to ride the coattails of Obama's popularity. However, it is not clear that there is an official sponsorship out there, or any money has changed hands either direction.
To those that dislike the new President I still think you ought to give him a chance. He seems to be tackling quite a few problems that have been left unchecked over the last 8 years. Give the new administration, even people of different ethnic backgrounds, different skin color or sexual orientation from yourself a break.
America was built as a melting pot of various peoples and cultures - we are different from each other which is a good thing, not a bad thing. Imagine if every crayon in your deluxe pack was the same exact color - boring, no? Everyone has value and beauty in their own unique way and it is not cool (or intellectually impressive) to diss people just because they are different than yourself. We might actually learn something and grow spiritually and mentally by considering the perspective of others.
Two phrases: "do unto others as you would have done unto you" and "judge not lest ye be judged."
I completely agree that we should use the power of our dollar to vote, but for those still thinking they shouldn't drink Pepsi because of the logo similarity instead of health reasons or environmental consciousness then you may also have to boycott:
Mountain Dew
Tava
Sierra Mist
Sobe Waters
Amp
Aquafina
Tostitos
Sun Chips
Doritos
Lay's Chips
Tropicana
Near East rice products
Quaker - oatmeal, cereal bars
Cap'n Crunch
Life cereal
Aunt Jemima
Gatorade, G2 and Propel water
as all of these brands live under the Pepsi Corporation. Good luck with that.
Please be kind to one another and if you feel the need to boycott think of a sane and solid reason not to consume mass produced food and beverages. Like they are not healthy for your body, mind or planet. Peace out.
Before & After magazine has an interesting take on this topic: http://www.mcwade.com/DesignTalk/2009/02/does-p...
Ok, so a "slightly altered" rendition of a logo that existed since the early twentieth century, that has a little white "swivle", somehow resembles a circular logo with a sun rising above a red and white background...
that is everyone's argument here, right?
...ok
whether or not half the users on this thread wear glasses.
Thanks so much for the condescending platitude filled lecture rehashing the melting pot/crayola crayon analogies, I think the next thing we're supposed to do after a speech like that is to drink some milk and go lay down on the cots for nap time. The problem is that people like you think in terms of republicans versus democrats instead of seeing things as they really are, ruling class versus working class. I don't see Obama "tackling quite a few problems that have been left unchecked over the last 8 years", I see him exacerbating a bunch of problems that were created in the last 32 years. I don't want to give him a chance because I don't like what he's said he wants to do with his chance. Your inference that everyone who opposes him does so because they are hateful heterosexual white males doesn't even merit a response. Go swim in the shallow end of the thought pool with your official Obama water wings on you 10" biceps. When this is all said and done and we're in the greatest depression we've ever seen I wonder if people like you will blame it all on the phantom scourge of racism or if you'll have the intellectual honesty to say your king was wrong.
We see things as they REALLY are: wolves, vs. sheep, sheepdogs and shepherds. And those who spout vile BS advocating a "ruling class v. working class" POV are the wolves. It is necessary, I think to go to Eastern Europe and help dig up some the mass graves dug and filled by the intellectual forebears of class-think.
For those of you who support Pepsi paying $1,000,000 to copy Obama's food stamps donut and bacon strips (who probably did steal the idea from an earlier version of Pepsi) are also retarded. Why didn't those fools just donate the $1,000,000 to the bogus stimulus tab and give us who actually WORK FOR A LIVING a little bit of tax relief.
Pepsi is the Kool-Aid for the Obamageneration.
My theory... obama worked this out with one of the biggest food companies in the US. propaganda. Just like hitler used.
Real Americans drink Coke anyway
Shame you didn't put that one on the page instead of the eighties reworking you have put on

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.,,
Yeah, I am thinking the Pepsi logo was in the making before Senator Obama was serious about becoming the POTUS. Imitation is the....
Also, like the 1971 logo the best, with 1962 as a close second.
