Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Pepsi has always been at the forefront of the music scene, supporting what’s new and what’s next, and Spotify has undoubtedly blazed its own unique trail in music streaming. In June 2023, Pepsi joined forces with Spotify to create a Pepsi x Spotify limited-edition exclusive can design and influencer kit for an Egyptian audience. To visually represent both brands, the design had to equally integrate the identities of Spotify and Pepsi as well as an interactive QR code.
- Inspiration
- In creating the Pepsi x Spotify artwork, our team embraced the expressive attitude of Gen Z as inspiration. We mixed shades of bold Pepsi blue with the bright green shared by Spotify and the signature color of the rap scene in Egypt. The background includes a variety of glitchy patterns that pay homage to rapper Wegz, and layers of cut paper with “Gaya Gaya” lyrics scribbled on top. On the can, we added a QR code that people could scan to listen to a Pepsi song created for a cashback campaign.
