But what really worked in this
research was the word...
The similarities between words in various languages will make the name easier to understand and remember for a wide audience.
But the name needs some originality,
so I thought: What if I remove the "active" from the word?
PROVOC
All languages have practically the same pronunciation, you can test it on Google Translate.
But we still need a special touch.
You can already feel the identity... but we need to work on: Typography, color pattern, elements, symbols and that's another project =)
