Cheetos campaign is a little random

Cheetos commercials have taken the route of Starburst and Trident spots. If you don't believe me, check out the newer commercials. Do you feel like buying a bag now?

25 years and more to come

If you have never heard of Duffy & Partners, it's okay because you probably are familiar with their work. They design quality media for a very large group of clients. While you should definitely take a look at their work, I wanted to draw your attention to their 25 yearly bottle designs. These are very impressive and I look forward to next year's too. Cheers!

Timeless

Recently, I spoke with my sister about logos. We were talking about the Holiday Inn rebrand. I was saying that for many companies, routine brand updates are essential. However, one company that we both agreed looks good no matter what is Coca-Cola. Despite its age, it has such a fresh look. Of course, this can be attributed to their unique commercial and print ads, however, I believe that Frank Mason Robinson did something great with Coca-Cola's logo. I don't regularly like script typefaces, but this is one that I can get down with. Hit the jump for some classic and recent Coca-Cola advertising.

Great car commercial

Usually, I do not like car commercials. I hardly pay attention to them, but I really like this Toyota car wash commercial. I think it does a great job of getting the message across while still being subtle and creative. Kudos to the advertising agency for a job well done. For more information about Toyota, read here.

Sweet rant

I'm really fed up with commercials displaying women as being overly concerned with eating sweets. I mean, physical health is very important as is eating a balanced and nutritious diet, however, I have to put my foot down at these advertisements. Some of the worst commercials often show women worrying about eating a piece of cake (or something similar), but opting for a cup of yogurt instead (an obvious Yoplait reference). I don't know what crazy planet these people are from, but no amount of yogurt will ever equal one delicious slice of cake. Besides, what harm does one slice of cake or bowl of ice cream really do? Chances are, you can easily work off the extra calories (if you count them) and be just the same as you would be anyway. I am probably biased because I love baking and eating sweets, but I'm still a size 6—I'm sure to some of you, that's super fat, but not me. So, dear readers, please, tell me if I'm wrong, but do we really need to stress out over whether to eat the whole cupcake?

My beef with Apple

I love Apple products. My Mac is excellent, I have a great iPod (not the newest though), and the service has always been exceptional. However, I cannot stand Apple's commercials. Obviously, Apple has a great slew of products, but why can't they come up with great ads? The clean look is nice, but the subject matter is played out. Until they stop Windows bashing, I'm pretty much ignoring them. When they come out with something new, I'll be surprised.
