IVY Mini Photo Printer
CLIENT — CANON U.S.A., INC.
Canon wanted a name that was short, memorable and personable. If you have ever been involved with naming a product, you know how difficult this can be. We came up with several options we thought were perfect, only to have them rejected. Either the name had been used in a similar category or it couldn’t be cleared for use worldwide. We came up with brand names in several different categories such as words that connoted small, such as Pixie or Sprite; speed like Dash or Zing, or photos like Snap or HipShot. We settled on giving the product a personality with a real name such as Zoe or Chloe. After much back and forth, we settled on IVY. It gave the product a personality, it was short and simple to pronounce.
