BUD....WEIS....ER (you know u miss the frogs)


i found this bottle...in the recycling bin (it was not aquired by illegal means if any government official suscribes to swingset mafia), and i noticed the typeface used on the label. Budweiser uses an elegant type font to establish its superior in the beer market and to illude that budweiser has been around for a while. Budweiser claims to be "king of beers" and this typeface adds to this royal corporate identity.

the cursive type of budweiser is unique to and recognizable only to budweiser. the design gives the beer a distinguished look, and yes i miss the frogs..
