Opaque
Clear Intentions. Hidden Details.
The Need
Privacy Inc. needed a distinctive name for their web-based app that protects personal information and prevents identity theft. The challenge was to stand out in a crowded market filled with identity theft and firewall products, avoiding overused terms like “ID,” “security,” or “privacy.“
The Name
Opaque was chosen because:
- It’s a real-world word that perfectly describes the app’s function – shielding users’ personal details while allowing them to operate online.
- The name suggests opacity, meaning the user’s personal information is hidden from prying eyes, yet still accessible in a general sense.
- It’s simple, memorable, and easy to spell and pronounce, making it both user-friendly and distinctive.
The Result
Opaque successfully differentiated itself from other identity protection services, offering a clear and memorable brand name that embodied its core function. The app became known for its straightforward yet powerful promise of online protection, striking the right balance between simplicity and security.
