The Byondis name was developed by the international Globrands network and fits well with the character of the brand, meets all linguistic, trademark and domain name requirements and was received very positively by all stakeholders. Most importantly, the name radiates the ambition and pioneering spirit that is so characteristic of this brand, because Byondis strongly associates with “beyond this” on purpose.
For a new brand like Byondis, it is important to explain what the domain is, preferably distinctively and qualitatively, without it becoming attractive or stilted. Hence the tagline: creating precision medicines.
