With Latest Redesign, Tecate Wants To Be the Working Stiff’s Beer of Choice

Published

  • Tecate’s packaging redesign and visual identity refresh, courtesy of the design agency Bulletproof, speaks to the brand’s roots and dedication to working class folks.
  • The redesign features the return of the ingot motif, a refined flight-ready eagle emblem, updated typography, and updated color blocking.

Still, unseating one of light beer’s workhorses has forced other Mexican lagers to step up their game.
