First off, what does Brennem mean?
BRENNEM™ is a portmanteau inspired by recurring –en and -em letter patterns and etymology related to passion, progress, and illumination. These words included: bridging, incremental, movement, momentum, improvement, enlighten, embody, potential, etc. Think of Brennem meaning to br-idge in-cremental im-provement.
When was Brennem founded?
2020. The concept initially came about in 2019 but Brennem wasn’t actually explored until early 2020.
Who started Brennem?
Designer and creative director Brian Wonder (Whitfield). Initially, he started it as a clothing line but after plenty of drafts, procrastination, anxiety, and meditation, he realized selling apparel wasn’t really the focus—telling was. That’s when the studio’s concept crystalized.
What does that Flicker-Flag-Wavy symbol thing represent?
The Flicker is Brennem’s “rally” symbol designed on January 26, 2020. Its design was inspired by a flag, double-helix, and flame—representing passion and the stages expressed potential. It plays on the idea of “incremental improvement” and the phases of making progress.. Each “part” reaching forward, picking up momentum, moving up, and shifting perspective.
Living Production Studio? What's that?
It’s made it up—like most things in life. It’s a term that best represented what was envisioned for Brennem™. It’s a double-entrendé. Brennem™ is a [multidisciplinary] creative studio exploring various meanings of life (living) and it’s an evergreen entity that will continuously evolve (living). Independent of world matters or market conditions; while collaborating with and featuring creatives.
