Certainly.

Chatbot. Changed.

Client: Certainly

Timespan: Oct '20 - Feb '21

Key Focus: Naming and Branding

Certainly is a leading conversational commerce platform, helping companies build digital shopping assistants. Previously called BotXO, their old name needed a refresh to avoid being mistaken with yet another chatbot. The team landed on Certainly, a positive and warm response to life’s queries, and the new name was accompanied by a vibrant, modern look and logo – proving that even complex technology can look appealing to users.

The naming exercise began with hundreds of potential candidates before choosing Certainly.

The three dots of the logo are inspired by the common symbol of online chatting, and they shapeshift to mimic different digital behavior of listening, thinking, typing and searching.

The surrounding identity is playful and flexible, with friendly bespoke illustrations and icons rounding out the rest of the scalable and recognizable identity.

"The brand that Signifly created has helped us achieve everything we hoped for and more."

Key Focus: App Design

For most Danes, the driver’s license felt like an established relic. However, the Agency for Digital Government wanted to challenge the need for a physical card by launching a digital alternative. Based on thorough user testing across all demographics, the design borrows elements from the physical predecessor in the final design to create a familiar feel. The Danish driver’s license app, which garnered over 1.000.000 downloads in its first 3 months, has since become the most successful app ever implemented in the public service sector.
