There were his successors that developed Coca Cola in the brand it is today. Until 1905 the soft drink marketed as tonic and contained traces of illegal drugs as well as caffeine-rich kola nut. By the late 1890 Asa Grieg Chandler directed the Coca-Cola Company and syrup sales rose for 4.000% between 1890 and 1900. The famous logo, which is highly recognizable everywhere, was an idea and work of Dr. Pemberton 's accountant Frank Robinson. Asa Candler took over the Coca-Cola Company as owner soon after Dr. Pemberton 's death. He partnered with Frank Robinson and redid the formula for Coca Cola syrup. Frank Robinson 's creation was the logo, script and a push that the classic slogan "delicious and refreshing" be tied to all the future advertising.
