I remember seeing that Pepsi logo long before Obama’s campaign, so perhaps you’re right. Anybody have any reference on how long the logo has been in existance?
Forget my last post then. Should have read to the end. :)
Will it make a difference? I at least will feel that I am not making a contribution to Obama propaganda. And I’m not sure I’ll be the only one boycotting. Judging on the comments, at least several Freepers will be joining me. And maybe it will cause them to think twice about alienating a significant percentage of the public.
good reply. bet they don’t reply back!
RC Cola and a moonpie, please.
Guys, take off your tin-foil hats.
The new logo is obviously just an update of their old logo. Companies plan these moves a long way in advance. I wouldn’t be surprised if they hadn’t of already developed the new logo and planned the change in 2007 before Obama even started running.
As far as the hope and change advertisements go, it is a typical corporate move to try and and glom onto whatever is popular at the time. The company doesn’t care one way or another about politics, they just want to sell soda.
I had a similar conversation and email exchange with Krispy Kreme Donuts and Porsche.
Sorry, not Porsche, but AUDI.
It all just becomes a blur after a while. Pepsi steals the Obama logo for their cans, Obama steals slogans from Bob the Builder. It just goes on and on.
Maybe you didn’t see their redesigned logo, nor their ads to Refresh the generation by sending congratulatory messages to the new president. It was a Flash ad on some websites with a textbox to send messages to Obama on his inauguration. Never seen anything like that in 2001 or 2005.
Perhaps you should check out their Bush-bashing, Obama praising website Refresheverything.com
And piss off the 50++ million people (read: customers) that didn't vote for the guy?
