Thanks for the link, Roberto. Let’s put it down to creative similarities.

Trish,

You have so many stories to tell! Glad you take the time to share them here.

Tim,

That’s an important point about the new MillerCoors logo, that the bottles / cans will keep the old branding. Thanks for commenting.

I absolutely love the new MillerCoors symbol! After reading the names I immediately saw the circles become a top view of a glass of beer. Brilliant.
As Trish had mentioned typical beer symbols are old world traditional and I can see this not selling well in the beer market but after reading Pentagram’s copy regarding the new symbol and finding out it will be for more business to business, while the original logos will not change on the bottles/cans, makes me love it even more.

A friend of mine was a huge KISS fan and put together a KISS fan site back in the mid 90s when the internet was just taking off. He made this cool wallpaper by taking the face paint of the band members and making them into round icons (and a bunch of other stuff as well). A year later he found the official KISS site and they had appropriated all of his design and graphics to make it. He was backhandedly proud to have contributed even though he was not mentioned in any way. Nothing he could do, of course (not that he would have wanted to). Even though he designed ‘new’ art, he used registered images. I’m sure KISS just figured it made sense to take the images rather than sue to keep him from using them. They got free art and my friend kept his money.

Imagine watching television and seeing one of your graphic illustrations used, unbeknownst to you, as an animated logo for the intro to Disney’s 101 Dalmations. That’s what happened to me. I blog about it here.

It was amazing enough seeing it on the tube at home. I would have been totally blown away if I’d seen it on the big screen at the theater.

Andrew,

Hardly anyone will see the video, for sure. If I get my hands on any promotional material I feature it for you. Cheers.

@ David,

Yeah, I’ve seen the short video presentation—and after viewing it, it makes more sense I suppose. But this logo just doesn’t grab me, that’s all. I’m either a love-it or hate-it at first glance kind of person, and most people who view the logo in printed matter won’t see the video first.

However, you stated that context will always allow for a better evaluation. Very true, I’ll keep my eyes open to see how it’s used.

Peter,

Definitely some ‘over-inspiration’ from Intel. It’s just too similar not to be a direct copy.

Vuarnet,

You’re very welcome.

Gio,

I also didn’t get the idea at first, though found the animated sequence quite clever.

Trish,

The beer logos I see more often than not do appear traditional, much like your experiences, which is why this new design is clearly separated. Thanks for the PWC insight. That presentation sounds like an interesting one.

Teddi,

Upon first glance, I thought your logo had something to do with the stock market, so you definitely got the investor part down. Glad you enjoyed Chris’ logo design insight, and thanks for commenting.

David,

No worries! Keep it up buddy, and I hope the online questionnaire works well for you.

Andrew,

I’d like to see how the MillerCoors logo is used in promotions. On it’s own, and at first glance, I had similar thoughts about three simple circles placed together, but context will always allow for a better evaluation.

I don’t think the perspective would change too much to notice. Did you view the presentation on the Pentagram website? The actual glass morphs into the logo, which gives a better insight.
