Masha Troitskaya: Expert in graphic design

Masha Troitskaya, graphic designer Nimax, a digital agency, shares her experience developing a unique corporate identity for a company producing thermal bags. Under tight deadlines, she managed to create a visual identity that not only reflects the brand's values but also effectively distinguishes it from the competition. Creating a unique design requires a deep understanding of the market and target audience, which allows for the development of elements that will attract attention and inspire trust in customers.

The corporate identity development process includes several important stages, such as market research, target audience analysis, and the creation of conceptual layouts. These steps help create a unique brand visual identity that meets customer needs and distinguishes the company from competitors. The new corporate identity, developed in just a few weeks, demonstrates effective time and resource management, facilitating rapid product launch and increasing its appeal to the target audience.

A corporate identity is not only a logo or color palette, but also an overall visual reflection of a company's philosophy. Companies with a clearly defined identity significantly increase their recognition and customer trust. Research shows that 70% of consumers believe that design influences their purchasing decisions. Creating a unique and consistent corporate identity strengthens the brand and creates a positive image, which in turn leads to increased sales and customer loyalty. Investing in a high-quality corporate identity is a crucial step for successfully promoting a business in the market. Creating a corporate identity can take anywhere from several weeks to several months. The time depends on the complexity of the project and the specific requirements of the client. A corporate identity includes key elements such as a logo, color palette, fonts, and graphic elements. Furthermore, the tone of communication with customers is an important aspect, helping to shape a unique brand perception. Creating a harmonious corporate identity helps increase company recognition and build trust among the target audience.

Project Goals and Objectives

A company producing reusable thermal bags contacted us to increase their product's visibility online. These thermal bags are widely used in industries such as retail, culinary, and pharmaceuticals. They provide reliable thermal insulation and help maintain the optimal temperature of products, which is critical for preserving their freshness and quality. Using reusable thermal bags not only improves storage conditions but also reduces the negative impact on the environment, making them an ideal choice for responsible companies. We are working to raise awareness of the benefits of these products and their relevance in today's market.

Our goal for this project was to create a unique identity that would highlight the versatility of our thermal bags. A key aspect was to communicate to consumers that these packages are suitable for both frozen and hot products. We also designed the corporate identity with the potential for future expansion of the product line, including thermal bags and thermoses. We therefore sought to ensure the design was flexible and responsive to current market demands.

Despite limited financial resources and a tight deadline of one month before launch, we decided to accept the challenge and take on this project. Our team demonstrated a high level of enthusiasm and commitment to creating a high-quality and attractive product. We are confident that through coordinated work and professionalism, we will be able to achieve our goals and satisfy the needs of our audience.

Creating a Unique Brand Name

Developing a name for a new brand is a complex, multi-stage process that usually takes at least one week. Our specialists conduct intensive brainstorming sessions, both in groups and individually, to select the most suitable options. We prepare presentations with detailed comments and an initial legal review for name uniqueness. This approach ensures the high quality and originality of the created brand.

In this project, we used a unique approach ideal for startups and small brands. Combining the efforts of three experts, we held a one-day brainstorming session to create a name that would be intuitive and easily understood, especially for a non-English-speaking audience. Our goal was to develop a name that would effectively convey the essence of the brand and allow it to stand out in the market.

When choosing a name for a product, it is important that it accurately reflects its essence and unique characteristics. This helps to more effectively convey the brand's value and mission to the end consumer. A well-chosen name helps to stand out in the market and is memorable, which in turn increases recognition and trust in the product.

After active work, we compiled a shortlist of the ten most suitable names and sent it to our patent partners for express verification. As a result, two options remained that had the highest probability of successful registration. This stage is key to protecting intellectual property and further promoting our brand in the market.

The client chose the name "termy", which is an intuitive neologism created from the word "thermic". The omission of the letter "h" was done to simplify pronunciation and memorization of the name for Russian-speaking audiences. Initially, the name was intended for a specific product line, but the client liked it so much that it was decided to use it as the name of the entire company. This decision emphasizes the versatility and appeal of the termy brand, which will be associated with high-quality thermal products.
