Design Details

Unique Properties
The design team created a custom illustration of each member of the team. What sets these commemorative cans apart is the technology used in executing the photo realistic portraits. The cans were printed with a direct printing process, tactile varnish, and raised 3D finish. This gave the cans a premium feel, as they were embossed across the entire body of the can and illustration. A matte finish on the ink in selective areas made the metallics pop, for a completely custom look and feel.
Inspiration
Mtn Dew AMP Game Fuel Optic Champions Ltd Ed Cans were developed as a show of love and dedication to the gaming community. MTN DEW adapted the flagship packaging design to reflect crucial aspects of the Optic Gaming team. The team is notorious for wearing Championship whites on tournament Sundays, so it was important for the color white to play prominently into the design. This led to a modern design with an all white background and pops of green.
