Massive Diet Coke

In order to celebrate Coca-Cola’s 125th anniversary, this September the company will be introducing a limited-edition design of Diet Coke that will be on shelves for an as of yet undisclosed period of time. It could be three months, it could be three decades.

It's a stunning redesign (by Turner Duckworth). Absolute simplicity and boldness. No visual fizz, no gratuitous waves, no fake sweat drops. Just a great big Diet Coke logo which is instantly recognisable.

Also notice how, at a given angle of the can, you can see a big “ok”. I'm not sure if that was intentional, but it’s a nice touch.

Messages from Mars

Masterfoods and FHV BBDO in the Netherlands encouraged 16 to 24 year olds to engage with the Mars Bar brand with “Messages from Mars”, a Gold Design Lion winner at Cannes International Advertising Festival. The campaign involved removing the iconic labelling from the bar, leaving it black, and providing consumers with the complete alphabet in Mars typography, including punctuation marks. The bar became an interactive object that gave people the possibility to create their own messages and give these to friends, colleagues or family.
