Breaking through category inertia.
Energy drinks were trapped between hyper-masculine neon gaming cans and timid pastel seltzers. Good Habit needed a vibrant, punchy aesthetic that made clean natural caffeine look exciting on crowded supermarket shelves.

Form follows uncompromising meaning.
Engineered an iconic slim-can design featuring ultra-condensed typography wrapping 180 degrees, vivid color-blocking, and an arched archway motif signaling routine and ritual.
