A naming session that ended with a word people can say
08, May 2026
A food brand wanted a coined word. Every option needed a pronunciation key. We went back to language they already used with customers and found a short name hiding in their own menu notes.
Good names are easy to search, easy to say, and hard to confuse with a neighbour. Trademark is a later gate. Speech is the first one.
The identity grew quickly after that because the word already had a tone. We did not have to invent a personality to paper over a brittle name.
“If you have to spell it twice, keep looking.”

What we decide before we draw
A one-page brief comes first: audience, proof, constraints, and the first three applications. If that page cannot be signed, we are not ready to design.
This keeps the work honest. Campaign ideas can wait until the system has a spine.

How a piece leaves the studio
Every article and project ends with files, licences, and a named owner. Handoff is part of the design.
