Heckler Branding

Name Development & Logo design

The primary vessel for brand equity is a name that supports an industry leadership position and effectively receives, stores and protects the essence of the brand. Heckler Branding builds on decades of experience working within a proprietary naming process, design process and proven strategy to develop unique, credible, effective names & logos crafted for durability and branding performance. A process that branded hundreds of successful companies and products, including a host of household names such as Starbucks, Panera, Cinnabon, Tilray, Sage and K2.

Heckler Branding

Effective Names

Heckler Branding utilizes six criteria for evaluating name alternatives. The first and foremost is Uniqueness: The ideal name is an empty vessel, which receives, stores and protects all the meaning you develop, while minimizing previous associations. Credibility: Instantly perceived as proper and believable within key presentation contexts. Reproducibility: Easily spoken, written, spelled, read and heard. Legibility: Easily reproduced in all communication media; immune to noise factors; possesses presence and impact. Durability: Sufficiently capable of withstanding cultural and business modulations. Compatibility: Easily used in close proximity to other fixed verbal and visual content.
