This Release is from March 2023 but we're starting to see product on the shelf with the new look. I'm not a fan. The lettermark seems less distinctive to me. Too thick. What do you all think?

It also brings the rhythm and energy of music, an important and continuing part of the Pepsi legacy.

Yeah, no. That's just your marketing department.

So yes, the old logo (with new typeface).

I prefer this over the current one
