Can Design for Pex Energy – Non-Stimulant Performance Drink
Background:
Pex Energy is a non-stimulant performance and focus pre workout drink. It’s designed for gym-goers and night-time users who want clean energy and focus without caffeine . Our formula is optimized for physical performance, mental clarity, and hydration – without relying on stimulants.
We are launching our first flavor: “Original”, and we need a bold, modern, and professional can design to reflect our unique positioning in the fitness and nootropic space.
Design Goals:
Clean, minimalistic, and modern look
Emphasize that it’s non-stimulant
Should feel premium and appeal to gym/fitness lovers
Needs to stand out on shelves and social media ads
Should balance scientific and cool (think more Liquid Death meets clean supplement brand)
Design Elements Required:
Logo: Use our existing “Pex Energy” logo (I’ll upload it) – do not change the font
Flavor Name: “Original”
optional - Callouts/Claims (place in a clean way, maybe near the bottom or side):
“Non-Stimulant Performance Blend”
“Boost Focus • Support Performance • Enhance Hydration”
Can Size: 12 fl oz (355ml)
Leave space for: Nutrition label, barcode, ingredients (we’ll add these later)
Colors:
Main brand colors: Black & White but feel free to branch out
Accent colors are optional – feel free to propose subtle color highlights to add energy or represent the flavor if needed. Avoid neons.
Inspiration:
Clean energy drink designs (e.g., Reign, Celsius, Ghost Energy, Liquid Death)
Supplement brands like Onnit, Transparent Labs, or Jocko Fuel
What to Avoid:
Overly “extreme” or loud energy drink styles
Caffeine references
Cheap, overused stock imagery or messy clutter
Deliverables:
Full-color can mockup (front and side views)
Editable design file (AI or PSD)
Print-ready PDF with bleed
Fonts used (available for commercial use not just personal)
