Name Development
Our name development process combines creativity and legal compliance to create distinctive brand identities. We generate trademark-viable names through linguistic screening and market research. Clients benefit from our 27-year track record in delivering approved names for global markets across pharmaceutical, industrial, and consumer sectors.
Linguistic Screening
We identify potential language and cultural issues that could impact brand success in target markets. Our professional linguists analyze names for unintended meanings across 34 countries. This service prevents costly rebranding by catching problematic associations before market launch.
Brand Design
Our brand design services create cohesive visual identities that reinforce brand messaging across all touchpoints. From logo development to packaging artwork, we ensure consistent application of brand elements. The service includes creating comprehensive brand guidelines for global implementation.
Legal Screening
We conduct comprehensive trademark searches in 34 jurisdictions to ensure name availability. Experienced attorneys perform legal analyses to identify potential conflicts. This service reduces trademark registration risks and provides clear pathways for global brand protection.
Script Testing
Our script testing service assesses name legibility in handwritten prescriptions. Doctors' handwriting samples are evaluated by pharmacists to identify look-alike/sound-alike risks. This critical service ensures patient safety and regulatory compliance for pharmaceutical brands.

Report
I have worked with Origin to develop a brand name in the FMCG sector. I was very impressed with their work and appreciated working with Rick (the owner) & Alan, their head of naming. Highly recommended.
