Pepsi's 2009 logo redesign was dogged by political distractions
Pepsi paid Arnell Group an outrageous $1 million for this logo, which isn't drastically different from its predecessor.
The logo also made headlines for resembling that of newly elected President Obama...
...Coupled with Pepsi's new slogans -- "Yes You Can" and "Choose Change" -- the company was criticized for copying Obama's award-winning campaign and aligning itself with it at the same time.

Some of these corporations are finding out the hard way to keep their damn political views to themselves.
They're also finding out there are more conservative Americans than socialist Americans. That goes for Democrat, Independent or Republican.
We're still the majority and will spend our money elsewhere if a company prefers communism to a Constitutional Republic.
Turn that pepsi logo 180 degrees and it looks even more like Teh Wons "O"
I'm Canadian and I won't drink Pepsi products because of the Zero logo too.
I'm Australian and I won't drink Pepsi because it tastes shit.
