This is an extremely interesting site from Burak Kaynak, called the A to Z Brand Project. Under the premise that a brand exists entirely in a person’s head, he has deconstructed iconic logos and used tags to show you his view of the brands.
The way he’s approached this works better for come logos/brands than others. For example, we think it works well for the Pepsi logo (above), but not so well for the Facebook logo (below).
MillerCoors launched on June 30th, 2008. As the name clearly implies, its a joint venture between SABMiller plc and Molson Coors. They are getting together to compete better in the US marketplace.
This is not a product logo meant for consumers. Instead, it is a corporate logo, a “parent brand” for the two companies brands (Coors, MGD, Foster’s, etc.).
We love this logo. It is clean and clear yet creative and engaging. First, the cleaner typeface is a nice change of pace from the logos we’re much more familiar with via their beverage brands. But even more, the half-finished glass of beer is very smart. Obviously, the beer is very relevant. But by having the glass half finished implies the enjoyment of drinking the beer. And flattening out the glass and showing it from above makes you think about it more than one normally would.
