Design Details

Unique Properties
As a part of The Big Game weekend, Rockstar® unveiled a new brand experience, the Rockstar Spotlight Studios and the Unplugged Mood Booth, to wow locals and fans visiting Venice Beach, CA and introduce them to the new Rockstar Unplugged® flavors. The Brand Experience Design Team collaborated with the PepsiCo Music & Culture Team to create a state-of-the-art mobile recording studio, a place that spotlights hustlers, emerging artists, and gamers to create, exchange and inspire.
Inspiration
The Design team designed and developed every detail of the Rockstar Spotlight Studios and Unplugged Mood Booth Structure, from top to bottom. To create the Rockstar Truck, we translated the new iconic Rockstar brand identity into an elegant 3D exploration that embeds the brand shapes, colors, and finishes into the recording truck elements themselves, such as acoustic foam panels, fixtures, upholstery, and extruded logo panels.
