Xbox is proud to partner with Rockstar Energy Drink and five acclaimed artists to celebrate the heroism of Master Chief. Tasked with bringing their interpretation of the Spartan's bravery and strength to life, the artists developed their own artistic flair with unique color schemes that incorporated the primary colorway of each Rockstar Energy product and leveraged the can's aluminum abstract to enhance their original designs. The team behind the new cans includes:
- Matt Taylor (Original): Based in Brighton in the United Kingdom, Matt Taylor specializes in illustration and comics. Throughout his successful ten-year illustration career, Taylor has turned to Americana and classic comic books from the 1950s and 1960s for inspiration.

- Dan Mumford (Fruit Punch): Dan Mumford is a freelance illustrator working in central London, UK, where he runs Studio Dan Mumford Limited.

- Yuko Shimizu (Silver Ice): Yuko Shimizu is a Japanese illustrator based in New York City whose work combines Japanese heritage with contemporary reference points. Works by Shimizu address a range of serious issues but can also be light and whimsical.
