As co-founder and CDO, Jozeph and the Forakis Design team created MEEM’s brand identity and packaging, together with award-winning designs for both MEEM Memory Cable and MEEM App.

MEEM, the brand name we selected, comes from ‘meme’ meaning ‘a discrete unit of knowledge, analogous to a gene,’ a fitting connection to the brand’s mission of data backup. Every element of the logo, app interface, and packaging was designed to represent a simple and elegant connection to ‘cloning your data’. The animated logo begins as a single-celled unit that exponentially multiplies in fractal-like fashion. Like the logo itself, the split-screen of the app UI represents the original ‘me’ information on the left, with the copied data graphically reversed as ’em’ on the right.

Incubator partnerships like MEEM allow startups, and established brands alike, to benefit from the accelerator-power of holistic, integrated strategic design thinking.
