PackardV8 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Nice article, but as usual, full of errors. 1961 Avanti? He didn't design the Coke bottle; Loewy did serve as a designer of logos on some Coke cans and bottles in later years, but he was in the French Army in the year the bottle was invented and did not migrate to the United States until 1919. He also designed some Coke soda fountain dispensers. He didn't design the Lucky Strike cigarette package, he did the logo. There are several other minor errors. I did learn Raymond and I share the same birthday. thnx, jack vines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
