Coca Cola signage at the London Eye, London, January 2016
Coca Cola have really seized their sponsorship of the London Eye to the full – plenty of bright red and clever, funny signage.
Hex Colour reference: #fc2847
A colourful note: in 1998, Crayola gave permanent (well, maybe not that permanent!) names to the crayons that had been True Blue heroes in the previous year. True Blue no. 7 became Torch Red, and in support of a Scarlet Pimpernel charity performance in New York, the previous Red colour also appeared in special boxes as Scarlet Red. By the end of 1998, Scarlet Red had been discontinued (the original Red still existed under its original, plain name) and Torch Red had been renamed Scarlet.
Complicated, eh?

I thought about “Scarlet letter” and have always imagined the scarlet red to be a bit darker.

I think there are entry of versions. This is Crayolas interpretation. I would have though of it as darker, more blood red!

I thought you had taken holidays over Easter, but can see now that you’ve been busy on blog. I only had a day of holiday and an impossible workload since.

Hi Paula I was very busy over Easter too, but managed a bit of blogging (some was pre-prepared). I’ve managed to get a few photos into a local exhibition so I’ve been busy organising printing, framing, etc. And my daughter’s home from uni so extra cooking and cleaning !!

CC… I used to work for them, almost 30 years ago… In fact, I still have some CC and Fanta pencils kicking about in my drawers from that time 😉

Oh, does that make you a sugar and sweetener expert?! I’m not a great fan of their products, but I did enjoy this signage. And I enjoyed tasting a geographical selection in Las Vegas, not that I actually enjoyed many of them.

I’ve never measured myself on Coke bottles. I don’t drink pop so could I try beer bottles instead? 🙂
