Doritos
This post was updated March 27, 2013.
About: “Doritos (literally, from Mexican Spanish doradito or dorito: “turned golden”) is a brand of seasoned tortilla chips produced since 1964 by the North American food company Frito-Lay (a division of PepsiCo, Inc.).” (Source: Wikipedia)
Design by: Hornall Anderson
Ed.’s Notes: Yeah… I don’t know about that bolting triangle destroying the “o”. See it on the bigger view of the logo and before/after of the packaging below (or after the jump).
Relevant links: Full line-up of Doritos variations. Taquitos.net redesign story (much more in-depth than I would ever care to get about it).

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders
About: (Est. 1919, formerly Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees) “The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders is a professional minor league baseball team based in Moosic, Pennsylvania in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area. The team plays in Northern Division of International League and they are the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees Major League Baseball club. The team plays at PNC Field (formerly Lackawanna County Stadium), their home since 1989.” (Source: Wikipedia).
Design by: Brandiose. (I’m starting to think the B in B-Side stands for Brandiose).
Ed.’s Notes: A locomotive porcupine? Yes, please! Alternate versions below (or after the jump).
Relevant links: Railriders press release. Brandiose blog post.
Select quote: “The RailRiders moniker pays homage to the very first trolley system in America, one created right here in Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA). […] A porcupine conductor, the gritty critter that calls NEPA home, is at the centerpiece of the identity.”
