Design Details

Unique Properties
To successfully launch MTN DEW AMP GAME FUEL, needed to create a brand identity that felt endemic to the gaming space visually. It also needed to provide a strong graphic foundation for future innovation, partnerships and consumer experiences. Maintaining authenticity was a key challenge throughout the development process, and critical to making sure Mtn Dew AMP Game Fuel is the beverage of choice for e sports athletes and gamers everywhere. We wanted to make something modern and stay away from the clichés that plague other brands trying to reach the gaming audience.
Inspiration
Mtn Dew AMP Game Fuel Launch is the first ready to drink performance beverage for gamers to hit the market. Created with this specific tribe in mind, GAME FUEL has created a holistic brand, product and consumer experience that authentically integrates with e sports and gaming culture. The 360 launch assets developed by the design team allowed the brand to launch with scale and excitement while also creating a strong pipeline of partnerships, sponsorships and future innovations.
