WHAT DOES DDM MEAN>>> LOGO AND BRAND CONCIOUSNESS


 HOW DID YOU, COME UP WITH YOUR LOGO AND WHY?

As I mentioned I am also the graphic artist of my label so coming up with a logo and name for the label had to do with what I wanted people to know about the label by just looking at the logo which is that its youthful, professional and trendy. I needed a logo as one of the keys to great marketing is branding and having brand identity. The vision was to establish a brand called DDM: for shizZleDD is an abbreviation of my Xhosa name Vuyolwethu which when translated is Destar Dimtsu in the Ethiopian language of Amharic. The name means “joy of the people”. M: is for Menen, which is a title given to the most beautiful and respected women, this also represents the feminine energy of the brand as is it run by a young female and is targeted at young females too. For shizZle:  is an interactive play on words that represents the youthful nature of the brand and is a reflection of my personality, which I want to bring to the garments that are created under the DDM label.
