To Refresh Pepsi’s Communications In evidenza
Occasionally brands need a little refreshing. Pepsi recently announced that it is canning BBDO Worldwide, which has produced campaigns for the brand since 1960, in an effort “to refresh Pepsi’s communications,” according to Dave Burwick, the new chief marketing officer for the PepsiCo North America beverages division. PepsiCo also selected the Arnell Group as its design agency for brand identity and packaging.
Coca-Cola’s recent brand revamp In evidenza
In my last posting I discussed the new Pepsi brand design, and it seems appropriate to follow that dialog with some thoughts about Coca-Cola’s recent brand revamp. As it may have been apparent, I am not a big fan of Pepsi’s latest branding efforts. In my opinion, the new logo is not much of an improvement over the old one, and the packaging seems rather generic and sterile. On the other hand, I am truly impressed with what Coca-Cola just did.
AOL turns into Aol
The company that used to be called AOL, and was recently spun off from Time Warner, is shrinking in size in order to survive…and now its name and logo are shrinking as well. Perhaps as a reflection of its intention to cut about 2,500 jobs, AOL has changed the UC treatment of the acronym to one that includes an upper case “A” and lower case “ol”. And, in an attempt to communicate that the company is in the internet space, it is adding a “.” after its moniker. “AOL” is now “Aol.”
WSDIA: A very talented group of people that take design seriously
On a recent trip to New York I was introduced to a small, but very talented firm: WSDIA.According to their website: “Our name WeShouldDoItAll (WSDIA) is simply a goal. Designers and all other professionals alike should not feel constrained to some singular expertise. To survive our own creative game, it is imperative to know that there is not one absolute solution to a given problem. To immerse oneself within different avenues of creative production and mediums forces you to consider the otherwise unconsidered. It’s that method of working that’s exciting and motivating to look forward to the next transition.”
