How a sticker became a brand

Seven stages, from the first request to the website.

Stage 1 of 7

The request

An A4 sticker for aluminium and iron ladders sold as Shine Ladders.

Stepsure: The request

From Shine Ladders to Stepsure

A name that carries the promise.

We developed 24 names over two rounds. Stepsure brings together the step and the certainty that it will hold: safety, reliability and confidence at height in one easy word.

Six shortlisted names were checked for availability. Two cleared every check, and Stepsure went forward.

CGAD, the parent

Keeping the Chadha name, in a form that travels.

Chadha Glass and Aluminium Doors is accurate but long for a product label. We proposed the initials CGAD, pronounced “See-Gad”, with the tagline “The Future of Glass and Aluminium Solutions.”

The final logo builds a ‘C’ from angled cuts that echo doors and glass. Every ladder now reads “A product of CGAD”.

Stepsure: Final logo

The idea behind the logo

The letter S, turned into a climb.

An arrow pointing up for the upward movement the product is made for, and a stair block for the first step. Two concepts, four colour directions, then orange and blue, with blue linking back to CGAD.

Front panel

The original A4 brief: brand, “Built Tough, Lifts Light”, the model range, colour options, 4 to 8 step sizes and “A product of CGAD”.

Stepsure: Front panel

Designed using the way established international ladder brands present safety information as a benchmark for clarity. Not a claim of certification.

A name for every model

Families that show how the range fits together.

Altura, the word for height in Spanish and Portuguese, came from our first naming round. The Edge ladders step up from Lite to Prime to Pro.

  • Altura BaseCompact & Sturdy
  • Altura PrimeLightweight & Reliable

Model names, categories and positioning lines as listed on stepsures.com.

Online

One brand, from shop floor to screen.

We built stepsures.com to present Stepsure as a unit of CGAD: the range by category, a page for each model, the brand story and a downloadable brochure.

The Stepsure website

The client asked for a sticker. The more valuable answer was a brand.

The result

From one sticker to a structured brand.

A dedicated ladder brand, a clear link to its parent company and a named product range. Every Stepsure ladder now carries one identity from top rail to platform, and the website presents the full range under one name.
