The brand at a glance

What it is

RUCKUS is a hard seltzer with the volume turned up. Real juice, big punchy flavor, 5% ABV, 100 calories, and a personality that does not whisper. Built for cookouts, tailgates, and anyone who thinks "clean and crisp" should still taste like something.

Say it like

  • Short, loud, a little cheeky
  • Confident, never corporate
  • Lead with flavor and fun
  • Emoji welcome

Never

  • Wellness-jargon or "clean living" speak
  • Long paragraphs on a can
  • Apologize for being loud
  • Exclamation-mark overload

The can is the billboard

Front of pack does the selling. Big tilted wordmark, the burst, the flavor name in Anton, and the specs locked to the base. One flat flavor gradient, no clutter. It reads from across the cooler.

Color

A quiet frame so the flavors can shout. Ink and paper carry the system; each flavor owns a loud two-color gradient. Coral is the master accent that ties it together. Tap a swatch to copy its hex.

Discipline: ink + paper own roughly 70% of any layout. One flavor color leads per surface, coral sparks the rest. Never two flavor gradients fighting in the same frame.

The loud voice. Headlines, the wordmark, flavor names, can copy. Always uppercase, tight, occasionally tilted. One hammer per view, never body text.

Crisp, clean, and just a little bit loud. The calm next to the noise.

Everything that explains: body, labels, nutrition, web UI, the legal line. Clean and modern, it gets out of Anton's way.

Brand elements

Flavor bands · the lineup in a strip

The burst is the signature: use it as a stamp, a bullet, a sticker, an animated spin on screen. Halftone dots carry texture and read as fizz. The flavor band is shorthand for the whole range.
