The Naming Game

Whether the task at hand is renaming a company that has evolved beyond its initial offer, or creating an entirely new name for an emerging category, our methods remain steadfast. At each stage of the process we’re asking - “Is it distinct? Is it memorable? Is it defendable?”.

Going

Simplify to stand out

Having outgrown its origins as a newsletter for family and friends, to become a major player in the international travel sphere, Scott’s Cheap Flights was a moniker that no longer matched the brand’s ambitions.
‍
Working with Scott and his executive team, we arrived at a more emotive and evocative name to help the business stand out in a packed space. Direct and intentional, the new name Going captures the excitement and anticipation that accompanies travel, with an aspiration edge rarely seen in the sector.

The Other House

A new way of doing things

Combining the best elements of a hotel and a members club, The Other House offered a genuinely unique proposition - the world’s first Residents Club. 

This utterly new offer was in need of a fitting name. Through our partnership with the leadership team, we delivered a name which celebrates both the liberating freedom of feeling truly at home, and the exciting possibilities of finding new and improved ways to bring people together.

Treatwell

Uniting multiple brands with one voice

Chris Wood
CCO, Treatwell

Treatwell came to DesignStudio with the need for a new name as a result of the rapid growth they had been through. Previously known as Wahanda, the business was composed of five different brands operating in ten countries; there was an urgent need for unification and a shared vision. 

Side by side with the Treatwell team, we developed a strategic vision to bring all of their businesses across Europe together under a new name. This name formed the bedrock of a new visual identity which moves past the prescriptive aesthetics of the beauty industry to champion confidence and individuality.
