Hi Amy, thanks for the comment!
I was told the approximate age of these cans are 20 – 25 years, not sure of the exact year though!

WOW! Cool designs.

I think I prefer these to the current ones!

Hi Heather, Yes I agree!

We should use this post as a jump off point to convince Coke to do a new run of great can designs!

Dear Coke: Inspiredology would be more than happy to facilitate some sort of contest

Classic! Wonder who designed these.

Hi in which country does coca cola manufacturers produced this kind of designs for their products.this designs are really cool .

These are Canadian – at least I got all of mine in Canada aboot 20 years ago when I was a kid. There was a winter series the same year – the only one I can remember from that series was a snowman playing a very 80s electric guitar and doing a rock-kick.

The also got these cans in Germany. There were two series in the 80ies.

Great find, some of these easily could work in todays times! I love the last one.

If any of us actually remembers having one of these, it clearly means WE’RE OLD. Great collection by the way. Thanks for posting

@ bebopdesigner… Not ‘old’…’Classic’ =)

Really really nice! Love! It clearly was better in the god old days!

oh and sorry. The “Classic” days. ;P

Love them! Are they for sale yet? Greetings from Sweden

Very cool. Thanks for putting this together. I think I like the second group the most. I wonder what Coke would do today if they ran a similar campaign?

I have most of these. Saved them when I was a kid back in the 80s.

They appear to be the old 280ml Canadian cans that were made out steel.

Any idea if they are worth anything? I heard that they’re worth more if the tops aren’t open (you drain from the bottom with a nail).

I remember these well. My best friends dad designed these- Steve Blair. While with McCann MacLaren. Incredible creative mind for both tv and print.

Wow! Thanks for sharing. These are awesome.

very nice and creative! good looking
I love it very much!!

not so Stirling- Steve Blair could only have designed the group with the sunglasses since I designed the Lichtenstein – I still have the original unassembled can from the press approval for this one. I also designed the lips cans and my husband Michael designed the car and building can-the fifth can (snowmen) was also designed at Toronto studio Quadra Graphics. The sunglasses series was done later and yes, the original collectible idea came from Germany. These were designed for Crown Cork and Seal.

Don’t believe everything you read on the net.

Those are some really great cans, they need to remake those again!

awesome! .. :] i love the designs on the cans..

collection is cute but how can a can of coke be used to make some vectors or brushes??

This is a brilliant collection, they should bring out a limited period of retro designs again.

Nice find! You say some of these designs look just like they could have been released last week. Well, it seems Coca Cola have re-released at least one of the designs, the yellow-ish one infact, recently in a slightly updated version in Poland! My mate brought it to me from Spain the other week. (Yes, they seriously seem to be selling polish coke cans in Spain, don’t ask me why…)

Some very cool vintage coke can designs. http://j.mp/mVdhR
