1984 does have aggressive misinformation campaigns, but they tend to be delivered through TV, rather than by little logos. Though the gin bottles are described almost exactly like the Tesco brand ones you get these days - plain white label, GIN in bold letters on the front. Though in 1984 it was called Victory Gin and had a red V on the label too.
Thinking about it, Victory Gin is not so very far off from Freedom Fries, is it?
Repo Man had plain packaging with generic product titles on the side - BEER, etc - but apparently this is because Alex Cox couldn't wrangle any product placement!
