Branding
The New Pepsi Look

LA Times article March 3 Created by Arnell Group (Tropicana too, accoriding to LAT) “the new Pepsi logo will be front and center in PepsiCo’s three-year, $1.2-billion campaign that will overhaul all its beverage brands.” –LA Times

“Static, empty, vaguely bland,” wrote John McWade, founder and creative director of design magazine Before & After in Roseville, Calif. “It conveys no energy, no motion, no effervescence, and, well, it’s not young.” —LA Times

Tropicana reverses direction
NY Times article

Thanks to @danielklotz for retweeting @HarvardBiz via Twitter: How could a terrific marketing co. stumble w/ Tropicana?
