The reason the green skittle gets so much attention is this: Back in the day, it used to be lime. However, they changed it to sour apple once. People preferred lime, so Skittles brought it back, and decided to market it.
Just like that other brand which sells chocolate gift boxes. They removed one of the item which would come inside the box and people demanded it back so the brand introduced a whole new box which has many of just that one chocolate lol
@@chrideefer Not from a business perspective, people can see that RedBull design a mile away and it catches their eye among the 100 other Energy Drinks. The new one will blend right in selling less over all.
I love these! The Red Bull redesign is cool, but I think the point of the blue/silver check pattern is so that it is clearly identified at a distance and amongst other cans. It stands out and is pretty iconic at this point, and I think a lot of that gets lost in a simplified redesign. But that bull you drew was sick. Would be cool to see a version with your logo but the checker pattern intact.
@@D_YLON14 Agreed. The sun and the two bulls represents the history of the drink connected to Muay Thai fighters and their discipline and determination. Basically, it's already iconic and simple
I love all but the red bull one, their can is just iconic and i really love the symmetry. The one you created looks great for a Chicago Bulls' special edition.
the bunny with the drum makes sense because the whole percussion section of a marching band (that marches on the field) is called the battery! the bunny part not so sure, but the drum makes sense because the bunny is literally in the battery
@@gisela_oliveiraBoa observação, tentei pensar em um motivo para a marcha nos Estados Unidos se chamar "battery", sendo que o instrumento seria "drums", e ser algo engraçado comparado ao português. Infelizmente não achei nada.
Has nothing to do with that, it has to do with the original Energizer Bunny commercial, where they took a subtle jab at Duracell ruclips.net/video/iJTAbYGrYDc/видео.html
I believe the leaf on the Tic-Tac box behind the text was to represent the mint flavor, like how strong it is, so extra mint leaf. It's that good at freshening breath.
I love love love this series man!! Coming from a graphic design background, I've been craving good graphic design content like this! It's so enjoyable and educational!! Always more tricks to learn!!
Great video, you're a really talented graphic designer. Incidentally, the reason that the Energizer bunny has a drum is because it was introduced in the 1980s as a toy rabbit beating a drum (powered by Energizer batteries of course) that never stopped because the batteries were so good. They did a series of commercials where there would be fake products being advertised and then the Energizer bunny would suddenly walk through the fake commercial beating his drum with narration "He keeps going...and going...and going."
.......There is a scientific reason for that... it's like crying about a lid on a bottle that contains liquid. Do some research and a bad joke isn't funny.
7:45 The reason the green Skittle is getting special treatment in the official packaging is because the original Skittles flavors in the US (and other countries except for Europe) were orange, lemon, lime, grape, and strawberry. In 2013, Skittles changed its original flavor line-up and replaced the lime one to green apple, causing a consumer backlash. So they recently went back and needed to notify consumers with this particular packaging that its the original "lime-up", and not green apple.
Yeah in the uk it never changed and has always been lime but our purple one in Europe is blackcurrant instead of grape which I personally think is so so so much nicer
I think I would have put a yellow circle behind the bull, like the one on the original design, just to break up the silver. But I'm half sure that if I saw it done, I'd probably change my mind 😅
6:23 skittles are nothing like m&ms lmao, you mentioned that you never tried skittles so you get a pass, but to anyone who tried both the fact that you bring up m&ms is hilarious
I think the original Lay's package design is already well thought out. It's way easier for consumers to glance over the shelves and spot a familiar design that they associate with their favourite flavour. Having it signified simply by the color and a piece of text would be a bad design choice. There simply aren't enough colors for every flavour they may produce, and reading text quickly becomes annoying and kicks the consumer out of the impulse of buying a treat. (also there are color blind people)
Wait, I'm just now realizing that Duracell and Energizer are not the same company! Because of the pink bunny thing, I always assumed that they're the same, but Duracell is the name they use in Europe and Energizer is the US one
You know what would be cool to see him do? Pick a product and design 3 different designs for their packaging based on different art styles/time periods. Like, "what if pizza hut had a Victorian era packaging? Or pizza hut with a Rococo era box?" "Subway meets ancient Greece, meets ancient Egyptian packaging " lmao
Your videos are so great because you explain everything you are doing, which is much more enjoyable to watch than just someone doing it without explaining
I can't decide whether I like your Lays or Red Bull design more. The Lays one is SUPER clever, combining all those complicated elements into a single chip, making it easier to read without sacrificing anything at all. but I just LOVE the bull you made for the Red Bull can. It's so freakin creative,
This man is too good. He could make millions of his talent, but instead he chooses to bless us with incredible videos and beyond real designs. Thank you Brandon, you're amazing, keep it up. Also have you ever made art for a game? I think a game with your design style would look really incredible.
@@kedrprao Yeah, you're right. Millions is definitely an exaggeration. Still tho, he could make a lot of money, instead he chooses to share his content online for free. (not fully instead, he makes money off of this too, just like not has much has he could if he wanted to really try).
7:35 The reason they put the "Original" text there is because there are different variations of Skittles. For example: Sour and wild berry (is that what it was called?)
You have to THINK about it on the shelf with 100 other energy drinks. The RedBull one was designed to pop out of the crowd, the new one will fade away.
The Skittles packaging since they changed green apple back to lime is so funny to me. Just the arrow going "It's lime!" is hilariously desperate while also being super tiny and hard to see at a distance. Also a fan of the Barq's root beer cans with the absolute lack of confidence in their slogan, "It's good."
Fun Fact: The Energizer Bunny is not the only pink bunny mascot associated with batteries, The bunny is actually a parody of the earlier Duracell Bunny, which also a drum but it was smaller.
The point in having your image and text wide on a can is that you watch it from several angles. It makes little sense to stack the words red and bull on top of each other unless the can is 2 dimensional
I dont drink red bull so the can isnt iconic to me, but I looove the redesign! It would be even better with the blue checkers behind the bull since everyone is saying thats whats iconic and recognizable about it.
As a fellow graphic designer watching these types of videos both inspiring and sad. You come up with these great graphic solutions and I am sitting here like 'I can never achieve this greatness'
4:26 ...if you buy some socks and a person in need gets some too and you send em back later do the managers just do: "HEY! YES YOU (name of person in need)! GIVE THOSE SOCKS BACK!"
The thing about the original designs is they look more classic/old, which implies the product is more "tried & true"; which is trustworthy, reliable, and therefore a safe option to buy. LOVE the Lays redesign so much though, and all of these are great work.
I think the problem is that it is hard to tell whether there is a potato chips or not. If it didn’t say lays on the cover that chip could be mistake as a cracker.
