Why does this remind me of FreeBSD...

I saw the new 2 liter in the store Sunday and my first thought was "I wonder if the person that did FreeBSD new Logo did this...."

Doubt it. The new FreeBSD logo is very generic.

Bring back beasty! :-P

Sorry;
I find current FreeBSD Logo is Unique and it is more related to Beasty Daemon's Head.

Disregarding the fact that this has nothing to do with the FreeBSD logo; that Pepsi logo is awful, why would they do that?

[Carpetsmoker]

Isn't it the same as the old logo or am I missing something?

[roddierod]

I'll have to take a picture of the 2 liter, to really see what I'm talking about. They changed their font to what looks like the font used in the freebsd logo and there logo is now a round ball, kind of like the freebsd logo minus the horns with blue and white swashes added. The blue backing on the 2 liter makes it look like the wallpaper with new logo.

I just don't see the similarity to the (unimpressive) Pepsi logo, other than the fact that they are both round ...

Yeah...the blue one! I tried to get a pic but my wife had thrown the empty away and the store did have any more of those new ones...

The logo it self does not look like the freebsd logo, but the font looks like the FreeBSD font.
Well nice to see that even pepsi is using some portion of FreeBSD. ;)

Or perhaps the FreeBSD logo designer guy doesnt drink Coke ;)

It looks like the logo for Seamonkey...

Those new designs are horrible.

On the positive side, it means FreeBSD is slightly ahead of one of the most advertising-focused companies in the world, designwise. ;)

I remember the FreeBSD logo contest. I made a bet with someone that the logo would be some sphere with lighting effects and whatnot. Unfortunately, no money was transferred because we both bet the same thing.

They should have just simplified the Beastie logo and called it a day. And who cares if the logo offends people; it could be used as a way of filtering those people from the userbase.
