Is Pepsi confused about its branding?

Posted by: Jure Cuhalev In: ideas

Take a look at this video that was recently sent to bloggers, together with a pack of old and new Pepsi cans. It shows the Pepsi logo/branding changing over time.

While I understand that it’s important for brands to update their image, typography and similar together with times, it still seems a bit often. Especially as they’re still selling colored sugar water and they’re just moving from one abstract image to another.

Maybe Pepsi and marketers in general, should do a better job at explaining why the making one abstract logo into another isn’t just some form of snake oil.

Most companies I can think of do this fairly regularly, often with just small touches. So I don't think Pepsi is special when it comes to this.

I'm neither designer nor brand specialist, so I can't judge on how they execute.

I don't mind the new logo, i think it's nce. I don't like the new cans, they look waaaaay too bland. From the recent ones, i prefer the symbol collage cans, maybe they were local to SLovenia and Croatia, dunno, but i loved them. THey were busy, yet were quite bland considering the little detail from the distance.
