Storience brands Bookster

Storience has branded Bookster  – the first Romanian library aimed at corporations. Bookster selects the world’s best books and articles and lends them to corporate employees in Bucharest, Romania.

Aside from the strategy, naming and visual identity, Storience has created the already popular brand slogan, Read’n’Roll. It highlights the brand’s main benefit: helping people sort out their goals and desires, and then achieve them.

We came upon this innovative client whose service has an important social side: motivating and helping people read quality content. The brand communicates this through a symbol that can be read as both a smiling face and a reading lamp

Stefan Liute,

Strategy Director, Storience.  

The name Bookster suggests an enthusiastic, self-confident book lover, and Bookster subscribers are casually called booksters. The disc-shaped business cards further point to the slogan’s roll, and the brand language as a whole has a cheerful, frank and friendly feel.

The library holds books from various subjects – from personal and professional development to fiction. Many of the authors are Nobel or Pulitzer Prize winners, or are among the world’s top 50 thinkers. Bookster also lends books, articles or studies selected from MBA programs’ curricula from top world universities: Cambridge, Wharton, Harvard, MIT, NYU and Stanford.

I believe that quality reading, as part of people’s education, plays an essential role in the development of the society. That is why I hope that the Bookster smiling lamp will become a friend and inspiration source to as many corporate employees as possible

Founder of Bookster.
