I found this billboard ad in that nifty book again.

I liked this one because I am a Pepsi fan and it has some truth to it about recycling and makeing new products out of the old. I know that there is not too much graphic design in it the overall images, but you can see that this billboard ad is an older one since they had the old Pepsi logo on it and design on it. Since I am on the subject, has anyone really looked at the newer pepsi designs with all the crazy lines and shapes on it. To me it is almost getting to hard to really understand that it is really pepsi, except for the fact that Pepsi has the blue cans. I work in retail, and we get alot of customers who accidently pick up Diet Pepsi instead of regular Pepsi because the designs are so alike now. They really need to go back to something more simple. On the other hand, you look at the Coke products, they seem to still have the simplistic designs on their cans and bottles. No matter where you go to, you can recognize a coke product.
