Capitalizing on the client's ties to the music industry, the concept revolves around renowned psychedelic rock bands. Each of the three designs cleverly transforms a lyric or song into a pun. The blood-orange can draws inspiration from the Led Zeppelin song "Achilles' Last Stand" and the lyric "The mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the earth," resulting in The Mighty Orange of Atlas.

This can design is inspired by the lyric “Lime and limpid green” from the Pink Floyd song “Astronomy Domine.”
