Budweiser Unveils New "Bowtie" Design

Budweiser has revealed a new design, seen in its can and secondary packaging, that will roll out of U.S. breweries and into the hands of American beer drinkers this summer, before debuting in markets around the world later this year.

The new can design is Budweiser's 12th since Anheuser-Busch began offering its flagship brand in cans in 1936. The focal point of the design is Budweiser's iconic bowtie, complemented by the time-honored Budweiser creed and Anheuser-Busch medallion.

Budweiser's new "bowtie" can and secondary packaging designs will be the global standard as the brand continues to expand internationally.

"This new visual identity is one of many steps in our quest to reinforce Budweiser's role as a true global beer brand. Together with our unifying global creative idea, the new global packaging look and feel will reinforce Budweiser's bond with consumers around the world," said Frank Abenante, vice president, Brands, AB InBev.

Using the same design principles as the newly designed can, the redesigned secondary packaging will be used for all package configurations and emphasizes the Budweiser creed, which highlights the beer's unique Beechwood Aging process and 135-year long commitment to quality. The packaging will also feature a "Quick Response" (QR) code that will better enable Budweiser to regularly communicate with consumers.

The economic performance of a country related to penis size?

Q. Does Size matter..?
A. Yes very much for the entire nation

Q. How..?
A. This may be biggest joke of the year but someone calling himself Tatu Westling, a doctoral student in economics from the University of Helsinki, has written “Male Organ and Economic Growth: Does Size Matter?“, a paper meant, in his own words, “to fill [a] scholarly gap with the male organ.”.

Penis size that maximizes a country's GDP is at 13.5 cm. There is a clear drop in economic development when the average size greater than 16 cm is below 12 cm. "Although the findings are indicative at this stage, the hypothesis explored here the male organ is resistant to a range of controls comprehensive and based on strong correlations amazement" wrote Westling.

Faced with various criticisms, the author of the study sought to highlight the strong correlations between the two indices. "It started as an attempt to half serious, but I did not expect to find such strong correlations. I'll be submitting it to a business magazine. But seriously does not mean that I believe in a cause effect at this time. "
