Monster Energy Ultra Red v1 500ml - 30mg / 100ml Can manufactured by Ball

I almost didn’t spot that there were 2 different version of this can but the differences are quite stark once you do see them. The main one is the font used around the top bevel of the can. In this version they’ve used a distressed gothic serif font with a white/silver outline to increase legibility. On the other version they’ve chosen a more modern-feeling sans-serif block font with red outline which is actually much easier to read.

Added to that direct design change are also some minor formatting changes to the required information panel and also a general difference in the deepness of the red colour and the clarity of the whole print in general (although one is better in some areas, and the other is better in others).

Once more change that I’ve also seen elsewhere is that different manufacturers render the texture on these cans to different levels. This can has much more pronounced texturing than the other version.

Who can forget those hot summer days and hotter summer nights thick with the promise of unlimited possibilities. Working a mindless job to earn just enough for that last epic adventure before starting “real life” Following your heart to who knows where with who knows who, confident it will all work out. In homage to the endless summer’s of youth comes Ultra Red: Light, crisp, and refreshing with zero calories and zero sugar. Sweet, sweet, summer time, summer time. Unleash the Ultra Beast!

Monster Energy Ultra Black 500ml - 30mg / 100ml Can manufactured by Canpack

This is a Monster Ultra can that I hadn’t seen until relatively recently. When placed with its Ultra siblings it has a very different feel, somewhat more dynamic, like the bad-boy of the group. The only one I have so far to feature a colour other than it’s main body and silver, the red on this one really brings out the dynamic feel of the strong geometric pattern which has a tattoo-like feel to it. I really like the way this can looks and the sort of feeling it invokes.

I think this is also the only Monster Ultra can in the collection to give away its actual flavour anywhere on the can.

At the height of summer on the other side of the Atlantic, the small town of Traverse City, Michigan calls itself the “Cherry Capital of the WOrld” when half a million people show up for harvest in July. No prizes for guessing you gotta get ‘em while you can. Luckily, we’ve found a way to capture that perfectly ripe flavour & bring it to you all year long! Monster Energy Ultra Black: refreshingly light with zero calories, zero sugar & packed with out Monster energy blend.
