Red Disc

DELICIOUS HAPPINESS - The famous Coca-Cola® red disc from the 1940s, with the brand trademark both in Chinese characters and in English lettering. The Chinese characters shown, read from right to left, have been interpreted as "Delicious Happiness" ever since Coca-Cola was introduced in mainland China, in 1927. Following the transition to "simplified Chinese characters" that began in the 1950s, characters in mainland China have been read from left to right and the fourth character (shown here at far left) was streamlined in appearance, but the meaning of Coca-Cola as "Delicious Happiness" in China has remained to this day.
