New A-B logo

Bland, but it works. And I dig the eagle.

I hope they won't full abandon the much more traditional and beautiful A-B logo we know.

I do like this...if I didn't hate what it meant.

I can quickly see someone moving the eagle and photoshoping the "!" of InBev's old logo to illustrate that he is taking a dump on the InBev

[STL FANATIC]

A quick read makes me think the old A-B logo will stick around since A-B will still be a subsidiary of A-B InBev.

I like it. It's a bald eagle -- America's mascot -- flying east across the Atlantic to Belgium. However, it's not only flying east, it's actually turning red, yellow, and black, the colors of Belgium's flag.

I can't think a better way of sticking it in the eye of wistful of Americans.

Sticking it to us? What are you talking about? They just introduced Budweiser American Ale. You're supposed to be placated.

I didn't see that - I saw the eagle as the color of beer. But yeah, I can see where you're coming from with that.

From the KSDK (St. Louis news station) website...

Marianne Ammsom, Carlos Brito's Chief Public Relations official from Belgium e-mailed me this morning:

"Let me make it very clear that the current Anheuser-Busch logo and visual identity will not change. As we have said all along, the A&Eagle still flies in St. Louis and in the United States.

The statement means anything referring to Anheuser-Busch the subsidiary will still have the traditional iconic logo. The new orange/yellow eagle will be used when referring to AB-Inbev the parent corporation.

I wonder if there'd be any outrage if any large international car conglomerate bought out any of the big three.

Ford owned by the Koreans?

GM by the Japanese?

Chrysler by the Germans?

Please, anyone?

We'll throw in Coors/Miller if that'll help.

You need to denote your sarcasm for those that can't understand it. At least I hope you're being sarcastic.

They already tried that, it didn't work.

That one already happened. It worked so well, the Germans gave it back.

EDIT: How did I miss Delayed Penalty's post. Oh, well. Great minds . . .
