Brand Nomenclature and Positioning Application guidelines development 
Project Description: Developed complete brand identity for Plug and Play Ltd.’s affordable device that transforms regular televisions into smart entertainment systems, targeting underserved markets beyond urban upper-middle class consumers. 
Culturally Rooted Identity
Through a strategic naming process, 'DorPlay' was created to resonate with the target audience. 'Dor' means 'thread' in Hindi, metaphorically representing family bonds through entertainment and the interconnected world of digital content, while remaining pronounceable and memorable across markets. 
Connecting Visual Threads
The visual identity utilizes a connection theme with the lowercase 'dor' in DorPlay featuring letters that flow seamlessly into each other, symbolizing digital connectivity. Bold, youthful red and blue colours create vibrancy while maintaining strong visibility across applications, from the device itself to marketing materials.
The lowercase typography was intentionally selected to make the brand feel more approachable and friendly, particularly for emerging market consumers who might be intimidated by sophisticated technology. This approachability reinforces the brand's core promise of simplicity and accessibility while differentiating it from competitors who often emphasize technical sophistication.
