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.

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.

Bob Stoddard is one of the original members of the Pepsi Collectors Club and he is also the owner of Double Dot Enterprises. He sells a very nice poster with a great logo timeline. Although the online version is hard to read the details, the actual poster is top notch. You can see it at Pepsi Logo Timeline page Bob also works for the Pepsi-Cola Co. as a historian. I know it sounds like I am selling for Bob, but I wanted everyone to know that the information he has is very well documented and accurate.

This is a very poor photo, but it gives you an idea on the correct logo history.
Pepsi changed to single dot in 1951. The other change in 1965 was they dropped the COLA from the logo.

Coca-Cola/Coke is the original! All others and there were 100's are all imitators that try but don't/didn't get by. Cocaine (extract) was dropping from C-C in 1903.
Coca-Cola is 125 years old this year (1886-2011).
Pepsi-Cola is 108 years old this year (1903-2011). Pepsi was also near bankruptcy on several occasions due to poor business dealings through the 1920's - 1930's.

History of Dr. Pepper History of Dr Pepper, the World's Oldest Major Soft Drink Dr Pepper Company is the oldest major manufacturer of soft drink concentrates and syrups in the United States. It is America's unique flavor and was created, manufactured and sold beginning in 1885 in the Central Texas town of Waco. Dr Pepper is a “native Texan,” originating at Morrison's Old Corner Drug Store. It is the oldest of the major brand soft drinks in America. Like its flavor, the origin of Dr Pepper is out-of-the-ordinary. Charles Alderton, a young pharmacist working at Morrison's store, is believed to be the inventor of the now famous drink. Alderton spent most of his time mixing up medicine for the people of Waco, but in his spare time he liked to serve carbonated drinks at the soda fountain. He liked the way the drug store smelled, with all of the fruit syrup flavor smells mixing together in the air. He decided to to create a drink that tasted like that smell. He kept a journal, and after numerous experiments he finally hit upon a mixture of fruit syrups that he liked NOT a cola,, but still older than Coke..

Moxie was made in Lowell, Massachusetts by Doctor Augustin Thompson's Moxie Nerve Food Company and was originally introduced into apothecary shops in 1876 as a "nostrum", which meant that it was stronger than a tonic and thus would be taken one spoonful at a time. It was first sold as a carbonated drink in 1884. It is interesting to note that Moxie was later also the first carbonated beverage to offer a sugar-free version.
