I’m just completely at a loss for words. Well, actually… one word comes to mind. HORSESHIT!
Even if the makers of Monster Energy Drinks were satanic devil worshiping heathens, I doubt they would spend the time and money trying to hide that much devilishness in their logo/package design. Corporate greed would take over.
Fellow designers, this is the type of thing we’re constantly up against. So the next time your client asks you to make the logo “pop,” you can tell them that you’re afraid that details are the devils work. Or some such horseshit.
Wow– talk about people looking for meaning where there (probably) isn’t any. They see Hebrew in the “M”? I see a rough, somewhat poorly, drawn letter. They see a cross in the “O”? I see an eye that looks like a reptile, or– wait for it– a monster!
And I agree 100% that it would be more effort than it’s worth to go through that kind of extensive subliminal messaging.
It’s a case of Occam’s Razor– it’s more likely this is a brand appealing to its testosterone-filled young male demo, and not some secret devil-worshipping company out to corrupt our society.
