New Pepsi Logo

Their previous look was kind of a wild concept where the thickness of that line through the sphere changed depending on the type of Pepsi.
 
This is pretty close if not 100%

If I were them I’d use 1951 and 1965 simultaneously the way coke has a coke logo and Coca Cola logo.

The 2006 logo makes me nauseous even though I designed logos in that style right around 2006. I believe it came about because it was the brief window where the internet was king but screens were still low resolution so solid color logos looked worse on screen than adding a lot of rendered light and shadow.
 
Real Sugar Pepsi is the best tasting drink...check and mate... :)

I see the Mexican bottled coke and Fanta everywhere but never Pepsi.

I like trying all sorts of premium/niche glass bottle soda and for most flavors they are better but I find they can’t get cola right.
 
The new logo's font is awful, but I like the rest of it. They should've just brought back that gorgeous 1965 logo.

That said, the only good pop is one mixed with alcohol. The rest of you can be wrong, it's ok.

Oh, and Red Baron is the finest affordable frozen pizza on Earth. This is an indisputable fact.
 
Actually the 1909-1949 logo is wrong.

There was a version up to about 1951 that was more detailed script with a colon ( : ) between Pepsi and Cola. After about 1952 is when the logo they're showing for 1909-1949 is when that simplified script logo was used. Up into the mid 70's or so.

The one shown as 1950-1986 came in around 1960.

Interesting to note that Pepsi used red/yellow (Cardinal and Gold?) in their advertising in the 30's and early 40's. After the beginning of WWII they used the now common red-white-blue, as it was more in keeping with supporting the US war effort.

I was a big-time Pepsi paraphernalia collectable for about 20 years. They're getting better at it but I used to see Pepsi product/signage placement in period-set movies that were incorrect (too new) for the setting of the movie.

Not sure how they got this so wrong.

That said, I do like the updated/new logo!
I'm glad you straightened out the logos during the 50's. When I saw the OP, something did seem off but I couldn't put my finger on it. What I could remember was that Pepsi came in a larger bottle than Coke (12 or 10 oz? vs 6 1/2 oz) which made-up for the extra two cents cost (seven cents vs five cents). The bottle deposit of two cents was the same for all soda bottles.

I thought of that same thing.

Seems like Pepsi did do something similar to that, one on one side, the other on the other. Similar to this. except the script Pepsi-Colo would be without the white oval, just by itself .... (the bottle style itself doesn't match, this is for logo demonstration only)

Sorry to derail from Pepsi, but has anyone tried the Puma Kola that Sprecher makes? Holy crap, that is fantastic cola, and crushes any of the major distributors out there and I love Pepsi.
 
I gave up soda years ago. It was tough at first, but I dont miss it at all 9 (if I'm drinking bourbon I'll mix it with diet coke but that's the only time I drink it anymore). Coffee and water is pretty much all I drink anymore and really enjoy the 'taste' of water.

That said, Pepsi>coke
I gave up soda in 2019. I don’t crave it anymore. I drink water and smoothies exclusively.

I like a coke or root beer once or twice a month like a treat the same way I might have a slice of pie once or twice a month or a cookie once in a while but not every day.

However, I'd pretty much die if I couldn't have coffee/tea/matcha. I don't sweeten any of them, it's very clearly about the caffeine delivery. I've just never gotten my caffeine fix through soda. For people who don't drink coffee or tea I see how they could get addicted to soda with caffeine. There's a separate sugar addiction I've luckily always avoided.

I think most of those people lined up at Starbucks are actually lined up for their sugar addiction just as much as caffeine, especially the people who go in the afternoon and night.

Its not that hard, honestly. The first couple weeks kind of suck, but after that you dont miss it at all.
Soda wasn’t hard. Caffeine on the other hand was awful. I quit that 20 years ago. It took my 4 years to finally quit. It took me ending up in the hospital to finally stop. I swore that day (June 2, 2003) that I would never drink caffeine again. I have had one small cup of tea in the last 20 years. That is it.

Correlation is not causation, but that's a metric sh!ttonne of caffeine... I'd imagine your Doc is all over you about that. In seriousness, all the best with your health!
It's not just that. Some doctors say that diet soda is just a bad for you as the regular stuff, especially if you drink a lot of it. Something about your body's reaction when you eat or drink something sweet. Your body immediately prepares to process it properly. When you drink a diet soda that tastes sweet but isn't your body gears up and then is let down by the lack of sweetness. The good news is your body adapts and learns to not gear up when you drink your diet pop (fool me once...). The bad news is it now doesn't gear up when you eat or drink something that is actually sweet either so your body does a crap job of processing sweets so it can result in actually gaining more weight and all sorts of associated food processing complications like diabetes.
