Branding needs
a rebrand
to unbrand.
Branding is a modern construct rooted in capitalism, industrialisation, and colonial marketing tactics. It was never about authenticity; it was about perception management, keeping entities profitable, not purposeful. The result? Erasure. Commodification. Disconnection.
It’s time for a new approach, one that prioritises truth over illusion, depth over trends, and integrity over marketability.
At Tatak, we don’t fabricate identities we uncover them. Through Entity Identity, we help businesses, organisations, and movements liberate themselves from surface-level branding and embrace ethical, justice-centered, and values-driven identities that resist commodification and foster real connection.
Identity is not a product it is a presence, a commitment, and a responsibility. Our work ensures that entities exist with integrity, cultural responsibility, and deep accountability to the communities they serve.
Welcome to the Unbranding Revolution.
If you’re here for aesthetics alone, we’re not the right fit.
If you’re here to build an identity that resists, exists & connects, let’s talk.
Mainstream branding =
Perception management
❌ Looks good but lacks authenticity
❌ Prioritises marketability over impact
❌ Flattens identity to fit trends
This sells an illusion.
Entity identity =
Authentic presence
✅ Aligns who you are with what you do
✅ Builds real trust & accountability
✅ Deeply connects entities to their values & communities
This is the beginning of a movement!
Introducing our Entity Identity Framework
Roadmap to the future
Rooted in decolonial, justice-centered design, it replaces perception management with authentic expression, deep accountability, & systemic impact.
More than just a business tool, this framework positions entities as stewards of values, narratives, & experiences that shape our collective reality. It is a guide for those who seek to inspire change, foster connection, & build a just & equitable society.
Grounded in eight fundamental elements, this approach ensures that an entity’s identity is not just visually appealing but also ethically & strategically impactful.

A strong narrative creates a memorable brand presence, helping your entity connect emotionally with your audience.
Beyond your entity, consider the broader narratives you contribute to. It's not just about the story you tell, but how you tell it & your role in the larger narrative. Are you perpetuating harmful narratives, or contributing to ethical, sustainable, & inclusive ones? We believe storytelling can change systems, & through partnerships with Indigenous & Aboriginal communities, we've seen its power to shift harmful narratives, change behaviours, & mobilise action.
At this critical juncture, storytelling can drive transformative change by changing mindsets. This element is vital for content creators, brand managers, & marketing teams to enhance recognition, build emotional connections, & stand out.
| 4 | Visual Language

Defines the visual elements—logo, colour palette, typography, iconography, & image aesthetic—that shape your entity's unique visual language. Like spoken language, clear, cohesive visuals are crucial for effective communication & recognition across all mediums. This element visually communicates your brand’s values & personality, leaving a lasting impression.
It's not just about trendy visuals; this element ensures all components blend seamlessly into your visual language, strengthening your entity’s identity.

In today's world, where technology is deeply intertwined with daily life, it's imperative to cultivate a healthy & ethical relationship with digital platforms. This includes considerations on how we utilise & interact within digital realms, akin to our responsibilities in the physical environment.
