Agency 689 – The Identity Agency

We are a full-service strategy and branding agency focusing on your identity. We specialize in research-based naming of companies, products, and communities. We create the logo, colors, and messaging to launch or recreate your brand as a monument to your values, culture, and intention. We will listen, learn, and research our way to the perfect answer to the ultimate question… who are you?

Naming

Our process for naming is research focused. We typically delve into history, meaning, and value to the consumer when naming something, but every process varies with what we’re naming, the location it is created or inhabits, and the person or people that are the driving force.

Our goal is to provide you with names that resonate with your targeted consumers while serving as a rallying cry for your team. We strive for memorable names that are easy to understand and have a URL our client can own.

Our services focus on the creative side of naming something rather than the legal side. We provide a selection of appropriate names for your company, product, or community that are vetted via a web search but should still be run through a legal name search and registered.

Logo

In the last 20 years, we’ve created hundreds of logos for corporations, products, and events. Our creative director Zander Vera oversees every logo project with two main focus points. The first, great logo design, is all about the details. Each logo is scrutinized pixel by pixel for creative perfection that is intrinsically pleasing to view. We design intentionally, relying on background research to find colors, shapes, fonts, and art that layer meaning into each logo.

Our second point of focus is logo usage. From the Monument Sign on your building to the smallest social media icon, we want your logo to be recognized and immediately associated with your brand. Our final logo provides color where appropriate, black and white, and versions for all required uses from online to large format signs.

Identity

Business Cards, Brochures, Websites, and Letterhead are just the beginning. We’ve created signs, comic books, uniforms, branded merchandise, vehicle wraps, and anything that needs to extend your brand. We design in-house and source production of materials through a vendor network built over 20 years in business.
