Coca-Cola x BYVM
One of the world’s most iconic brands, Coca-Cola, has teamed up exclusively with BlankYou Very Much to have their official classic assets re-envisioned for fun by the BYVM community which consists of graphic designers, artists, and fans.
Designers may download the asset files and submit their own unique take on rare, archival Coca-Cola images for a chance to win a $5,000 Grand Prize (and of course, bragging rights!) with the winning design then being incorporated into a limited edition tee-shirt sold exclusively on the BYVM Web-Store.
BYVM, an e-commerce and design platform created by Darren Romanelli, has “blanked” a number of iconic brands including HUF, PELE, and more! Designs are submitted to BYVM, where the community will vote on the finalists. Once the finalists have been announced, they will be judged by a panel of some of the most influential fashion, design and street wear personalities including:
+Bobby Hundreds, Founder of The Hundreds
+Wendy Lam, Editor-in-Chief of Nitrolicious.com
+Jared Flint, Art Director for Gilt Groupe
+Michael Dupouy, founder of La MJC
+Darren Romanelli a.k.a. DRx
Submissions will be accepted until 10.29, followed by community votes from 10.30 – 11.12. The judges will deliberate from 11.13 – 11.19 and announce the winner on 11.23!

This is the collection of the highest known prices ever paid for painting. The earliest sale on the list (Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh) is from 1987, and more than trebled the previous record price, set only two years before, introducing a new era in top picture prices. The sale was also significant in that for the first time a “modern” painting (in this case from 1888) became the record holder, as opposed to the old master painting which had always previously held it.
