SCOPE

Naming
Case study
Tarver®, formerly known as, People First Logistics Company, is a start up logistics company with a founder and company looking for a true identity and a pathway to its next steps in its growth process.
The company not only wanted to be a major player in the logistics field, but it also wanted to be a platform for current and aspiring trucking business owners by creating educational resources and content .
PAIN POINT
SOLUTION
We crafted a brand identity system that truly aligned with the vision of the founder. And that started with changing the name of the company to Tarver® to embody the spirit of its founder, which was rooted in creating opportunities for others and helping others do the same.
With the the word “legacy” being the north star to every decision made, we created a visual language that was disruptive to the status quo of the logistics industry. We wanted to create graphics that resonated wit ha new generation of entrepreneurs and customers. The design had to be youthful enough to speak to a younger generation, yet, mature enough to have a voice at the current table.
We also wanted to keep the legacy of people first, so we made sure to use images of real working people, in real working environments, displaying real human emotions. We wanted this brand identity to not only be appealing, but to connect with people in a real way and that positioned the brand for continued growth.
RESULTS
Since our engagement the company has reverted back to its People’s First Logistics Company name. Since we did not act as primary strategists we left all business directives to the company.
