OUR STORY

"Flipside started the same way it does for most people — we were sick of energy drinks that hit hard, then disappeared just as fast. The spikes. The crashes. The jitters. The comedown. It never made sense to us."

So we decided to build the other side of energy. Something clean, smooth, and steady. Energy that keeps you switched on without burning you out.

— Troy & Adrian, Co-founders

Clean, smooth, steady energy without the crash. No spikes, no jitters, no comedown.

NO CRASH.
NO B.S.

THE FOUNDERS BADGE

Troy and Adrian are the face behind Flipside. Their illustrated portrait is a brand asset — used selectively across packaging, social, and campaigns as a stamp of authenticity. It should feel like a discovery, not a feature.

Troy & Adrian — Flipside founders

Troy & Adrian — Founders, Flipside Energy

ROSES ARE RED, VIOLETS ARE BLUE,
TROY AND ADRIAN WANT TO RE-ENERGIZE YOU

↑ Black on black — as used in the website footer

The Brand Rhyme

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Troy and Adrian want
to re-energize you.

This rhyme is a core piece of brand identity. It's the founders' voice — warm, direct, slightly cheeky. It humanises the brand and connects back to Troy and Adrian as real people who made something for you.

Usage Guidelines

Website footer — black on black, subtle. A reward for those who notice.

Packaging — small, inside the can or on the base. An easter egg.

Limited edition runs — as a featured design element.

Campaign activations — where founders are the story.

The founders badge pairs with the rhyme in storytelling content.

Don't use on every piece of creative — scarcity makes it land harder.

Don't use the badge without context — it needs to feel intentional.

BUTTON STYLE

Flipside buttons have a signature asymmetric corner radius — rounded on the top-left and bottom-right, squared on the top-right and bottom-left. Paired with a hard offset drop shadow (no blur), a white fill, and a solid black border. Bold and deliberate.

Live Examples

Button Anatomy

HEADLINE HIGHLIGHT STYLE

Key words in headlines are punched out in a signature black highlight box — slightly rotated, pink border, hard offset shadow. Used to create visual emphasis and energy without relying on colour alone.

CHOOSE YOURENERGY SIDE KICK
STEADY ENERGY, ALL DAY.

Highlight Box Anatomy

Background

#111111

Always black. High contrast against any brand colour.

Border

3px solid #FF78B3

Hot pink border — the Flipside signature.

Rotation

rotate(-1.5deg)

Text colour

Font

Compacta 900

CSS Snippet

background: #111111; border: 3px solid #FF78B3; color: #ffffff; transform: rotate(-1.5deg); box-shadow: 6px 6px 0px 0px #111111; padding: 0.2em 0.6em; display: inline-block;

Usage Rules

Highlight 1–3 key words per headline — not the whole thing.

Works on any Flipside brand colour background.

Angle should always be slightly anti-clockwise (negative rotation).

Pair with un-highlighted plain black text for contrast.

Don't use on dark/black backgrounds — the shadow disappears.

Don't highlight more than one phrase per headline.

Don't rotate more than 2° — subtle tilt only.

PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE
