Budweiser Is Now Called ‘America’… Please Plan Accordingly.

Nothing says, ‘America’ quite like a mass-produced, watered-down lager. Anheuser-Busch, although now owned by Belgians, knows this, and will temporarily rebrand Budweiser to be called “America.”

Apparently, this is a marketing stunt for what could be the most drink-inducing season in American history — the summer leading up to this year’s Presidential election. Bottles and cans of Budweiser were only slightly modified for the name-change — making them easily-recognizable for brand-faithful Bud-drinkers.

So, here’s to what could be the most American summer to ever America. Thanks, Belgium!

Pasta Hair Makes For A Nice Package

Unless we’re dealing with Angel Hair, we don’t often associate pasta with flowing locks. Russian designer, Nikita, wants to change that, with a creative concept for pasta packaging.

Nikita’s series takes the concept of a typical see-through window a bit further. With the creative use of a die-cut, and the inclusion of a woman’s face, the minimalist packaging would certainly stand out in any pasta aisle. Grab a bottle of sauce if you’re into redheads.

Dark Brew Coffee House is a coffee brand concept by designers Spencer Davis and Scott Schenone. The brand identity includes coffee cups with either a Darth Vader or Stormtrooper lid, complete with a modified quote from the movies.

They’ve also included potential coffee bean packaging and a coffee truck. Check it out below and here.

The Coca-Cola Logo Redesigned Using The Internal Organs It Affects

Coca-Cola… It’s been known to encourage different cultures to convene for a random song and soda-buying. It’s also been known to accelerate tooth decay and helps clean pennies. So, we can only imagine what the iconic soft-drink does to our innards.

Artist and former Coca-Cola drinker, Fabio Pantoja, recently provided an interesting study on this subject. His illustration shows the Coca-Cola logo, redesigning it using the internal organs that Coke has been known to adversely affect. Now, that’s the real thing.
