I have been working on a really interesting project over the last few weeks, the branding and marketing of a portable solar generator.
The project involved coming up with a name for their product, developing a brand image and a website.
Product Naming
Understanding the target audience and the unique attributes of the product were key parameters during the research of the name.
- Small portable generator
- Solar Powered
- Water resistant box
- Replaceable Batteries
- Silent power
- Rugged military style box
It was also important that a suitable domain name was available…no easy feat in this day and age where so many domain names are purchased and squat on. Product naming is fascinating and after a considerable groundwork I presented a list of possibilities to the client.
The one they selected was HELIOPACK Solar Generator. Helio originates from the Greek word for the sun – Helios, and pack has connotations of something that is portable and is outdoorsy. I think it fits the product perfectly!
Logo Design
The outdoorsy rugged look was also conveyed with the logo. A strong font was selected for the word HELIOPACK and a “power up” symbol incorporated with in it. The color choices reflect clean energy.
Decal Design
Website
The website was kept simple and bold and there are future plans to add e-commerce. Check it out at HELIOPACKgenerator.com
