When the Name Is Doing More Harm Than You Realize

A name is the one brand decision you can’t quietly A/B test your way out of. The wrong one confuses buyers, buries you in search, or boxes you into a category you’re trying to escape. Teams often live with a name that no longer fits because renaming feels risky—meanwhile every ad, deck, and domain is spending money reinforcing the wrong idea.

Naming is one of the hardest, highest-stakes things we do, so we treat it as strategy, not wordplay: names built to earn attention, stay ownable, and hold up for years. It’s inseparable from your broader brand strategy and visual identity, so the name and everything around it tell a single story.

Case Studies

It's called Tapp because “tiny elegant party projectile” felt a little long. Nobody needs Tapp. But once you’ve used it, you kind of do. We built a brand that gets that, equal parts restraint and revelry.

The Alto came to us mid-construction, with high-end units on the rise and a brand that needed to catch up. They didn’t want another swoopy serif brand mark and a line about “urban living redefined.” We built them an identity with confidence, restraint, and no real estate clichés.

Frequently Asked Questions

Testimonials

Branding can be a scary and intimidating word for a business. What is it? Who needs it? How can I trust the people who are doing it for me? Having been through the branding process with several companies in my career, I feel that BS have the unique qualities of being immensely talented and knowledgeable while also being inviting, open and engaging with their clients about the entire process. They help to make the branding collaborative rather than alienating, fun instead of convoluted. The quality of their work is outstanding, their creativity is seemingly boundless and their team is always professional and transparent.

Lauren Fisher – BLDG 20

We were initially looking for a firm that would be able to organize all of our thoughts about our company into a brand that would make sense to our customers. They have done just that in the projects that we have been working on. We are going to continue to use BS for multiple different projects moving forward.

Colin Hanley – Arcadia Towers

BS helped us create a brand we couldn’t have imagined doing on our own or with anyone else. They understood our needs, vision and goal. They are great to work with and we trusted them the whole way. There is nothing like our brand out there. We will keep working with them with our new ventures and will always recommend them to everyone!
