This issue has been moved here from the from old brand repo.

This issue is for tracking misuses of the company name in terms of casing, misspelling or mispronunciation as they occur. There is currently an anecdotal, but unrecorded history of branding issues related to the company name. The reason for this is to keep a record to determine whether or not this is a potential issue for our brand.

Received an email from someone referencing "Dwyl" (even though it wasn't at the beginning of a sentence) despite my original email to them saying "dwyl".

Received a message from a friend who knew of the company, but spelled the name as "Dwill".

On Friday Hannah from Unbound pronounced it "die-will" (she was corrected) and then later pronounced it "dwell" on the video, later at the pub she pronounced it incorrectly again. Owen didn't think it was a pronounceable word and instead thought it should be pronounced "d-w-y-l". Another person thought it was "dwill-e-o" because of the dwyl.io domain in the logo

After several emails, we were on a Skype call with Sam from Super Global today:

Sam: "What are you guys actually called? Is it "d-w-y-l"? Is it "Do What You Love"? Is it "dwill"?"

Inês: "We say "dwill""

Sam: "Ah - great. I guess I should say that too then!"

But he pronounced dwyl correctly unprompted.

Should we have an intro video on the site that starts with one of us saying:
"Welcome to dwyl"
🤔

@sohilpandya great idea! If you can please make an issue in video or hq, add the brand tag and reference this issue. The purpose of this issue is just for recording the history

@markwilliamfirth I actually meant that! I was shouting DWYL hence it's all written with caps lock on. 😉

On Friday at a meetup:

Person: "Where do you work?"
Me: "dwyl"
Person: "dwell?"
Me: "dwyl - it's spelled d-w-y-l. It stands for Do What You Love"
Person: "Oh that's weird, if it's spelled like that I would have pronounced it 'dwhile'

@iteles perhaps we should review this issue again and talk about brand guidelines given we are soon to be releasing the dwyl site?
