Always....

So if someone asked you the above question, the first name of a soft drink, or any drink for that matter, would likely be Coke or Coca Cola. London's design museum celebrates 125 years of Coca Cola's branding and redesign over the past 125 years.

How great are these coke bottles by the way? Available now at Dunnes Stores and probably other supermarkets, almost too pretty to drink... But if you do they'd make great vases...

New Chef. Still Little.

So UK fast food chain Little Chef has gone and got itself a little makeover. If you are not familiar with the brand, it would be similar to Mother Hubburbs here in Ireland. Anyways Little Chef first came to my attention when celebrity chef/kitchen wizard Heston Blumenthal was asked to revise their menu as part of a Channel 4 series. The results were apparently a great success as Little Chef are planning on opening 9 new restaurants this year.


Along with their new menu, Little Chef has undergone a major design transformation, lifting the old and dated styles, to fun and modern eye catching packaging and branding.

One of the most exciting, and in my opinion, the most ballsy concept are these giant pop art like, neon signs which well be placed outside a number of the new chains. Coffee, Ketchup and lollipops are all synonymous with family eateries, so why not broadcast that on a huge scale.

I have to admit I never ate in Little Chef when I lived in London, but if was to ever pass one by on my next visit, Im pretty sure id be drawn in by this bold and creative new design direction.

Miss Chiquita Banana got herself a makeover! And I must say shes lookin' well.





Does everybody remember the Chiquita Banana video? It was made by Walt Disney in the 1940s, I'm sure if it was on telly these days it would be called racially insensitive. Anyways I think its fun.
