Pleady Branding is a brand identity program created for a specialized taping manufacturer. The program covers the brand name, the brand logo, packaging, websites, product catalogs, brand movies and trade show booths. The name joins the words play and ready. Communication is built around the tagline Tape or Lose and a key visual of a female runner, inspired by the line that runs through the logo. A yellow-green brand color marks the focus on athletes. Color management keeps the brand color consistent on paper, film and screens.

- Unique Properties
- We supported the brand launch of the specialized taping manufacturer PLEADY. We developed the elements that form the core of the brand, such as the brand name and brand logo, positioning communications around the tagline Tape or Lose, and the key visual of a female runner. Our goal with the design was to provide a unified worldview and an identical brand experience at all touchpoints.

- Production Technology
- Brand color control was another challenge. We performed color management to ensure that the brand color would create the same impression whether it was reproduced on paper, film, or a monitor.
- Design Challenge
- Taping is a mature market, so the challenge was to establish a brand clearly differentiated from the competition despite being a latecomer. We formulated the tagline Tape or Lose and the distinctive yellow-green brand color to underscore the fact that the brand targets athletes. In addition, we created a single visual embodying the brand’s worldview, and utilized it in catalogs, websites, and trade show booths.
- Project Duration
- PLEADY launched in July 2019.
- Operation Flow
- We seamlessly integrated brand development with the development of communication tools. This production framework allowed us to successfully create a unified worldview for all touchpoints, despite a tight production schedule.
- Inspiration
- The brand name is a portmanteau of play and ready. It expresses support for thorough conditioning through the provision of high-quality taping to athletes. The key visual of a female runner draws inspiration from the brand logo, which has a line in the brand color running through it.
