Channeling the iconic Mtn Dew energy, the designers set the sights on a new adult oriented avatar that could extend the attitude to Hard Dew. The lively U.S. design took inspiration from biker tattoos, a jumping off point for the Asia-Pacific design, which landed on another popular tattoo design: dragons. In bright blue and glimmering green, the fierce, fantastical creature helped add some fire to the new ready to drink alcoholic beverage. For passionate Dew drinkers with a taste for fun, designers redefined the meaning of Do the Dew by giving adults the chance to say hard yes to Hard Dew.
