TimPietrusky
Thanks! I just love Monster Energy :D

Not gonna lie, there's something curious, if not suspicious, about your enthusiasm... ∗squints∗
TimPietrusky
Yeah you are right. I express my love too much D: But that's how a fan is...

Monster Energy has been known to be pretty... litigious at times [1]. I'd be prepared for a possible takedown notice.

Yeah, I hope they don't sue me, because this is just a fan remake and I love Monster Energy drinks :D

If they hate on this just make a Red Bull one. Their social media team is pretty good for a company that large, they'll probably even tweet about it.

Yeah, be careful about that. The head of brand protection at Monster is a guy that I have had business contact with. He is one of my least favorite people I have ever met in my life and I have had the pleasure of speaking with scumbag insurgents/terrorists face-to-face in a war zone.

Hah, so it's safe to assume you won't have any more business dealings with him after he sees this.

Haha, actually I thought about that as I was writing. I was going to change what I wrote a bit for that reason and then I recalled my No. 1 rule in life: "Don't be a douchebag!" and I left what I wrote as is.

It is very cool, great work! Monster should call this out as showing how involved with the brand their consumers are.

Off topic, kinda. Recently our company was exhibiting at a conference (of all things geared towards churches) and 3 different people came up to one of our employees and told her to stop drinking the devils drink. Apparently some people think the logo is the "mark of the beast" because each mark looks like a 6 in Hebrew.
