06 / Echo Dock
A name and identity that say what the thing is,
then make it
memorable.
Echo Dock shows the value of starting with comprehension. Before style, the name and identity had to let people grasp the proposition quickly. Only then could the brand voice add energy and recognition. In practice, the work was about making a technically capable business feel equally coherent as a brand.

the ground up.

What they asked for
Create a name and visual identity for a new cycle-tourism network.
What we found
The offer had promise, but needed plain-speaking clarity before visual expression could do its job.
What we recommended
Name it directly, then build an identity that feels distinctive without obscuring the offer.
If people cannot say it, they probably will not remember it.
