An opinionated naming studio for decisive brands
A good name alone doesn't guarantee success, but the wrong name is hard to overcome. Kernel taps the core of your brand to create a name that's memorable and meaningful.
Kernel is an opinionated naming studio with a radically simple process. We launch with a rapid intuitive client discovery. We explore endless possibilities of sounds and meanings so you don’t have to. In 3 weeks, we present our curated list of 3 top names. You choose the perfect one.
We use a methodical creative process and deep cultural knowledge to create names rooted in linguistic, metaphorical, and historical context.
Our terms are simple and transparent.
- For $7,800 we develop 3 names in 3 weeks. You choose the one.
- We start work with a $2,100 deposit.
- Each option includes the name derivation, trademark review, relevant foreign language meanings, and url availability.
- If we don't find the right name, you walk away and pay nothing more.
