It looks a lot more modern that the old one, and I actually prefer it to the Coke brand (yet I prefer Coke to drink, obviously).

I think it mentions somewhere in the PDF that it's supposed to be like that. Harking back to the old brand etc.

Each different type has its own variation of the logo, which surely defeats the point on a unified identity?
Pepsi Max seems to be using the same bold red 'typeface' which it's old logo used in the UK.

Its supposed to have the text etc stamped onto the metal saving a fortune in printing. I really like it however I don't think they will go with it as its not Coca Cola Red.

The text is very much a 'sign of the times', all lower case in a rounded 'modern' font. How utterly dull.

The need for smileys is an admission of an incomplete sense of humour.
