Design

1986 to 1990s
[edit]In the 1990s, Jolly Shandy appeared with a two color design,[2] separating the upper and lower parts. Golden “Jolly” and silvery “Shandy” labels were put in the middle part of the can. The three different flavors had their own specific colors. Before being changed to the current design, Jolly Shandy was on sale with a black coating, while there was a lightning sign in the respective colors of the different flavors as decoration. The color of the word “Jolly Shandy” was also changed to silver. In 2013, the design of Jolly Shandy was reworked by a design team led by Alfonso Granati.
