depicted in opposing colors, connects to ancient philosophy. the yin and yang describe how seemingly opposite or contrary forces may be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they may give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. relation to one another is taken further in our brand as frÄ“’kÄ“-dÄ“’kÄ“ is spelled phonetically with punctuation like one might see in a dictionary. however,
frÄ“’kÄ“-dÄ“’kÄ“, as of this writing, is not found in standard dictionaries. this gave rise to another part of our message,
DÄ“FY DeFINITION!
this is the slogan for
frÄ“’kÄ“-dÄ“’kÄ“ but also stands alone as an inspirational message to surprise the world
and be more than anticipated.
there is a unique phenomenon that occurs when people see the frÄ“’kÄ“-dÄ“’kÄ“ brand. the repeating, hard Ä“ and punctuation causes the brand to jump off the product through the eyes and into the cerebral cortex. exactly what a brand is supposed to do. it's the definition of a brand. but then frÄ“’kÄ“-dÄ“’kÄ“ begins to DÄ“FY DeFINITION! it bounces around the brain looking for a place to park. and then it happens. you say it. out loud. because it's not fully frÄ“’kÄ“-dÄ“’kÄ“ until it rolls off the tongue. did you say it out loud when you saw it? are you saying it out loud right now?
try wearing a frÄ“’kÄ“-dÄ“’kÄ“ t-shirt as you walk down a busy avenue in New York City, Paris, or Hong Kong. we find, as people are walking toward us, they make that visual connection to the brand with their eyes and before they know it the verbal exclamation occurs. sight to sound. we throw a sticker on our board or helmet or wear a
frÄ“’kÄ“-dÄ“’kÄ“ hoody and we hear it on the lifts and at the lodge.
see it. say it.
resistance is futile.
