I’m weary of always comparing the web to so-called “native” platforms like Android and iOS. The web is streaming, meaning it has none of the resources locally available when you open an app for the first time. This is such a fundamental difference, that many architectural choices from native platforms don’t easily apply to the web — if at all.

If you squint a little, you can see that, but the brand itself has become commonplace to the point that it’s surpassed any kind of Midwestern specificity. It can seem risky to tie the branding of a beverage to a specific time or place. But in an age where so many products are bought remotely (and, you know, there are just so many products), it’s also a way to impart a feeling from afar.

The lettering was originally designed by Wyman in 1976, as part of a proposal for the American Bicentennial – celebrating the country being established as an independent republic. Prior to this, Wyman was perhaps best known for his work on the Mexico City 1968 Olympics Games, and it seems that his Bicentennial lettering also owes a debt to this project. “I’d used a lot of parallel lines for the Olympics, which was inspired by the pre-Hispanic cultures of Mexico,” the desi
