Back to 1960 with PEPSI ?

Looks like Coca-Cola... Except it says Pepsi.
The font is really similar!
I still wanna try it...
Hmm.... like the style of the commercial, but questioning the idea of naming a product "throwback". Is "throwback" a tasty word? For that matter, is "throwback" a positive word?
To go even a step further, didn't Pepsi just spend a fortune introducing everyone to their new logo??? What's the point of doing that then introducing a throwback logo into the mix?

Except they introduced that logo in the 1940. Are you really the president of a design company? how do you not know the history of your own profession?

Jezz, it´s hard to believe people can be so rude with no reason at all: http://lbtoronto.typepad.com/lbto/2008/10/pepsi-re-brand.html Please, check it and learn. Get informed and then, speak if you have something interesting to say...

It is throwback, because the original pepsi used sugar, not this high fructose corn syrup crap that is in all US pop today. Since this "new" Pepsi is using sugar like back in the day, throwback is a perfect name. And, this is nothing like Coke. Coke is still only using High fructose corn syrup (for now). I think it's about time we get flavorfull drinks without high fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners...

Looks like Coke! it's rubbish!

a tribute to honda's hate something ad.

....70's advertising must die.

That's been Pepsi's logo since they started. think before you speak...

im so bored of this style. its been done, redone, overdone. its just not original anymore.

I haven't tried the new Pepsi yet, but I love the commercial. I was wondering who sings the jingle. It sounds so much like the gospel group from the '50s and '60s, The Barrett Sister. Great jingle! Great images! Kudos!
Its equal to nothing... its just an ad, nothing new, no concept, no idea...
Just saying the brief, whit image and music
Todos somos ignorantes, pero no todos ignoramos lo mismo.

As a HFCS hater I applaud this, but I question the wisdom of advertising 'natural sugar' as better than HFCS- the implication that regular Pepsi is an inferior compromise designed more for the bottom line that health or taste will stick in people's minds long after this limited edition Pepsi has disappeared- a perception reinforced by the fact that it is true.
