Dijit Brings a Human Touch to TV Control
SALT Branding creates identity for universal remote + social TV app for mobile devices
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6, 2011/PRNewswire/ --SALT® Branding, an integrated brand consultancy, is proud to announce its development of a new brand identity in the mobile application and social TV space: Dijit(TM). Launched at CES 2011, Dijit (formerly UMEE) aims to be regarded as the first mobile app that enables consumers to easily control, discover and share content by building a specialized social layer for digital media that includes Facebook and Twitter integration. The main mission for Dijit is to be the primary consumer mobile application for the digital home for all entertainment, via both traditional and streaming devices like Roku and Netflix.
"There are many remote control mobile applications on the market, but Dijit takes entertainment content discovery to an entirely new level," said Maksim Ioffe, Founder and CEO of Dijit. "The Dijit mobile application provides a seamless and easy user interface with an extensive program guide that takes advantage of the 'second screen' companion to customize each home entertainment experience all from the smartphone."
Social TV is an emerging branch of social media, and Dijit is at the forefront with their application for iPhone and Android platforms. SALT created a name for the company that evokes both technology and anatomy: it reinforces the human element of touch interfaces and the connection created between people and devices. The Dijit logo further illustrates the touch experience, employing shapes and contours that reflect human interaction with modern pressure-sensitive interfaces.
"We came to SALT to create a brand that helped define us and hone our focus," said Ioffe. "We needed an identity that communicated our drive to reduce the complexities of modern entertainment experiences. Dijit is a strong, short, easily understood name that immediately puts us in the digital technology space and is rich enough to encompass the social aspects of our application. And we love the Dijit logo - it's compelling, human, fun and has exactly the right feel for us."
"Dijit is part of a new language of creative thinking," said Paul Parkin, Co-Founder of SALT Branding. "They are an interactive application brand so both their name and identity need to demonstrate the new ways consumers will engage with them."
