I wonder who drew this logo? It reminds me a lot of Doyald Young's work, though I doubt it was him.
BTW I think "classic" is set in Gotham on the newer can.

Doyald Young is 81, but not quite old enough to have done the Coca Cola logo. :)
from wiki:
The famous Coca-Cola logo was created by John Pemberton's bookkeeper, Frank Mason Robinson, in 1885.[29] It was Robinson who came up with the name, and he also chose the logo’s distinctive cursive script. The typeface used, known as Spencerian script, was developed in the mid 19th century and was the dominant form of formal handwriting in the United States during that period.
