Rock Star etc. Why is their logos plastered everywhere? Helmets graphics, avatars, back packs actually where isnt it? I saw a Monster Logo on a toilet.

Whomever is doing the branding over there, deserves a raise. Excellent job. How many here have a Monster logo on their bike, gear or etc? It has become the new "Fox Sticker"

Chad Reed will have Monster logos plastered all over him and his Kawasaki soon. They are also the title sponsor this year for his SX series. Those dudes have $$.

tell me about it, at least this product started out as a product for goons then transition to motocross and not the other way around like Fox did.

I thought Chad was off to Honda... That is different, he is getting paid to brand it. Why is it a colorway in every gear line? Helmets, on trucks in signatures?

Monster is everywhere.

Carls Jr. sells monster, Southwest Airlines sells monster, there's a monster monorail in Vegas... Every gas station/liquor store/supermarket already sells the stuff..

i think it will be a little different moving forward than it was in the past, at least as far as Monster is concerned. they had a pretty big re-structuring over there this year and the people that negotiated all the licensing deals that put the Monster logo all over the place and whored it out are gone. i think they are moving to more creative branding rather than just whoring out the logo, etc.

I refuse to buy monster or anything with their logo on it...absolutely refuse.

People have a frikkin' drink logo EVERYWHERE these days...why is it cool to buy a shirt, shoes, stickers, backpacks, socks, underwear, graphics kits, gear, boots, and anything else with a logo of a drink on it? why is that?

At the SLC SX I bet 80% of the people I saw had the monster logo someplace on their bodies (I think I even saw a tattoo of it)...makes no sense to me.

I'm glad they support the sport I love...but they ain't getting my money.

That's referred to as false advertisement.

I can't help but laugh at the kids that show up at the track with Monster O'Neal gear, or Rockstar Answer gear. I do have a monster claw on my tool box, but who doesn't load their tool box up with decals? Smile

My buddies and I were hanging around the shop and I went into a big diatribe how Monster is everywhere, whoring their logo across the industry, and ridiculous it is that people line up to pay for privilege. I said I wouldn't be a part of it, and they shouldn't either.

That night I broke my visor in a crash. Picked a new one up at the store and all they had were ones with the giant Monster 'M' on it. So now I am part of it. Sigh.

People always want a brand/image to identify with that supports the attitudes that they embrace.


As Hansen's Energy, I don't think they were setting the world on fire. Add a name change (Monster) and a green claw logo, and poof...magic.

I've said this before, but I worked for BTO Sports for a while and you would not believe the amount of Monster shit people buy. Every single day I'd pack a dozen or so boxes with nothing but Monster gear. Shirts, jerseys, pants, gloves, socks, hats, helmets, and graphic kits. I kid you not. I was one of about ten people working in the warehouse, too.

The guys at BTO got pretty clever and printed up a bunch of Leatt Brace decals with Monster logos on them. They sold like crazy for like $40 a pop.

It's all about the logo. They got one that looks cool, and it does. The public took the bait like a charm. I like the taste of the monster chaos, but I feel like a complete tool when I buy it now. If it's available I'll get a red bull instead, they seem like a much more refined company. But I should stop drinking that shit anyway...

Those drinks are great for 12 hour road trips into the wee hours of the morning to get home after a race. Monster doesn't even taste good though, No Fear is the best tasting one I have had.
