Excellent reference material. I for one appreciate the time and effort that you put into this! I copied and pasted it into a reference folder that I maintain.

Wow! Great work. Thank you well in advance!
Being a big fan of PEPSI (could it the colors?), I prefer the early logos up to 50's.
The Toy mater just completed a PEPSI truck for my friend ... Wow! what a beauty!

...not to rain on anyone's parade, but there's at least two errors in the above chart: the font used for the 1973 Pepsi logo is wrong; the lettering was changed from a rather plain blocky font to that more modernized font shown, in the late 80's, about the time Michael Jackson's hair caught on fire during the Pepsi commercial shoot...that ad campaign was the one used to introduce the modernized logo... ...also, Pepsi didn't create the 'single-dot' logo in 1940, they were still using the 'double-dot' logo, up until at least 1950...for everyone that doesn't collect pop bottles: 'single-dot' and 'double-dot' refer to the hyphen between 'Pepsi' and 'Cola'... ...found this graphic online, that's more accurate in regards to those two logos:

I wasn't complaining, merely correcting a couple of factual errors...sorry if you chose to take offense...it seems to me the important thing is to make sure the information is accurate - and if it's not, correct it before disseminating it to the collecting world... ...I think it's pretty obvious that collectors are much more obsessive about precision when it comes to corporate logos/packaging/graphic standards than most corporations are...some intern got it wrong at Pepsi, and none of their superiors caught the errors? I'm not the least bit surprised...

looked at pepsi site and looked at the other not sure who is in error.Pepsi should have their own site correct or some one needs to correct them.
Remember you are only as good as your help If you don't make any noise no one will hear you!

Gulfiend is right. The PEPSI site (intern) is wrong. You'd think they'd know their own history, but apparently not. Like gulfiend said... I think it's pretty obvious that collectors are much more obsessive about precision when it comes to corporate logos/packaging/graphic standards than most corporations are...some intern got it wrong at Pepsi, and none of their superiors caught the errors? I'm not the least bit surprised...

The correct dates for the images on the yellow sign at the beginning og the topic are as follows: (left to right , top to bottom.)
1898, 1906, 1909, 1951 1951, 1945, c.1951, c.1951 1963, 1963, 1963 c.1971, 1987, 1991 1998, 2005, 2009 Pepsi also had major image changes in 1965 & 1971. Obviously, during transistion periods multiple logo images could have been used. The single dot logo was created in 1951 to modernize their image and was considered to be the greatest change of the logo ever, at the time

gulfiend is correct. There are a few logos that aren't included on gulfiend's graphic. For example, the 62 logo changes in 65 to a smooth edge bottle cap. Otherwise the same font as in 62. The Pepsi website didn't do their homework. Nucky did a nice job with the graphic. If you glance at the Pepsi-Cola Collectors webpage, you will see a correct graphic with several of logos on it. Pepsi-Cola Collectors Club
If it was easy, anybody could do it.
Looking for nice, old soda signs, light-ups, and clocks. Mostly Pepsi and Mt. Dew.
