Artful Can Branding

Cans Get a Makeover With Interesting Results

Advertisers know that sometimes odd marketing schemes are required in order to push and sell their products and lord knows with all of the different types of energy drinks, colas, and beers being hocked at convenience stores, it’s a hard sell.

So, in keeping with the tradition of odd marketing schemes that grab attention, here is a gallery of 17 amazing, pimped out and just plain weird artful cans.

My favorite is the Russian beer can which has been ingeniously engineered to look like a Russian submarine.
