This post would have been very cool, very retro if I had an old fashion coke bottle. That would be the coolest. Not retro here today, I have an aluminum can. Sigh...
You know you have made it as a company when only portions of your logo can be seen, and the world knows who you are.
Coke is one of those companies. Lyrics from the original 1971 song ad by Coke, sung by The Seekers...
I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees and snow-white turtle doves
I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills "Ah, peace throughout the land"
(That's the song I hear)
I'd like to teach the world to sing (that the world sings today)
In perfect harmonyI'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmonyI'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees and snow-white turtle doves
Nice Photos. Having an hourglass coke bottle blurred in the background would have looked really cool. I don't drink Coke anymore but I'm old enough to have purchased the 6.5 oz bottle from the coolers for a nickel (back in the late 50's).
ReplyDeleteGood DOF. Yes, an old fashioned bottle would have been cool but you did a good job with the aluminum can. The red in the background is a good choice. I like the angle you used on the second shot. I like how it looks but I have a hard time doing it myself. Thanks for the lyrics...As soon as I read your title, I started singing. :o)
ReplyDeleteNicely done! Yes, I remember that song well. I won't be able to get it out of my head all night now (chuckle).
ReplyDeleteI have tons of bottles...now I'll have to dig them out. I've been a coke collector since i was 13. I have that song as my ringtone! lol
ReplyDeleteI was just reading how they are going to drop the "classic" from the logo again. They say it is because it isn't needed anymore because the NEW coke is out of circulation as of 2004.
I like both photos, but the first one is my fav! Love the composition, perspective and dop!
ReplyDeleteI love the first pic. We have several of the old Coke bottles, but I like the way the can looks.
ReplyDeleteOoh, these are cool. Love the colors and DOF. I remember that song well! That commercial was so warm and fuzzy.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture! I love that song! Thanks for the memories!
