Actually, I just reread the thread. Even as it remains, Citizen is, as usual, always on the attack.

I could argue with his points such as

Quote:
The rant of some Communist party member is hardly a winning argument.

That some Communist party member ranting happened to be Mao Tse Dong.

But there's no use. This isn't about information, it's about long term animosity stemming from me a long time ago blaming the high casualty rate of WWII on state socialism. It's not really about anything else. I have disagreements with other people on the board, and we tend to either ignore each other, like me and Finn, or ignore our disagreements, like me and Auraptor.

But, I get the message, guys. Loud and clear.

I considered this option, hence the posting of the Obama logo. But I also considered that the logo might have attracted ire from the Chinese govt. I was wondering. Thanks for the input.

Seeking for the freedom to post without being trolled is all.

Well, at the very least can we all agree that the new Pepsi logo sucks a lot?

So did I. As it remains you still need medication.

Yeah, that changes nothing.

Jesus, I don't even remember that. It stems from your struggle with reality, that's what it stems from. You're right though. It's not about information, it's about you not taking your meds.

I don't suppose it's crossed you mind that you're keeping this going and responding every bit as much as I am huh? No, of course not. Dreamtroll taking responsibility for it's own actions? Unheard of!

A true Reaganite.

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!

The new logo, I think it's strange looking. It is indeed an unbalanced and awkward design. Studying to be a graphic designer myself, I have a lot of issues with it.
I do, however, fail to see what anything has to do with communism. Red is a 'power' color. It's been adopted by many, many things. Before CocaCola and communists, it was the British military. It's heat and fire, bright and shiny. It's eye-catching by its very nature, while being easier on the eyes than yellow tends to be. Plenty of products want to be eye-catching, and plenty of products are thus red. Saying a redesign with more red has communist leanings makes about as much sense as saying Valentine's Day has communist leanings. Or Santa Claus. Or Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Or myself, having just turned my hair a rather reddish color. It's mostly about standing out, giving something more energy, more interest, more passion, more bang for the buck.
This is all strictly from a design perspective. I'm going to state right now that it's not my intention to attack anyone, I just don't see the connection here to anything but a weird redesign in hopes of drawing more attention. The bottles and cans, it should be noted, are still the trademark Pepsi blue. Mountain Dew, probably their most successful product, has also undergone a redesign, though not nearly as noticeable. It's also maintained its green and red color scheme. (I have never related Mountain Dew to Christmas)
Color is important in the marketing and design world. Clearly, color has power. People will relate colors to different things in their life, be it a sports team or a soft drink or a political agenda. But really, the main goal is to be recognizable, in whatever way you hope to be recognized.
