I'm pretty sure we did a DINS after Dark ad for a night football game.
It was met with love or hate… mostly hate back then.
I won't get too far into the weeds of the psychology of branding, but I'll give you an example.
I worked on the identity of a new Table 301 restaurant; the owner loved one of the names a lot, he went against what everyone else recommended and chose The Lazy Goat.
Many years later, the restaurant is called by its shortened name by its fans… The Goat. This shortened name effect is typical of cultish, ritual behaviors. Those in the know, the uber fans, often call a brand by its the shortened name. It's an act of endearment.
Another example… B. F. Goodrich tires. Go to an off-road event and chat with a Jeeper. They'll tell you how much they love his/her BFGs.

Yeah, the name Din Djarin isn't going anywhere. I'm proud of the overlap I found between pop culture and my favorite college team.Flagman wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2023 11:51 amWhile I admire the alliteration of “‘dins are dancing “, the general public doesn’t know what a ‘din is. As an old timer and an unapologetic traditionalist, I’d like to see us use Paladins. We’ll never build our brand using. “‘Dins” or alternative logos. Ditch the white uniforms with DINS.'Din Djarin wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 9:16 amI would love a good, old-fashioned felt pennant with 2023 SoCon Champs on it. My little cubicle is adorned with various championship pennants from other teams I support, and Furman needs to be represented.
I was never a Star Wars junky back in the day.
