Pinger is a company dedicated to making voicemail everything it can be - and divorcing it from the annoyances we commonly associate with it. Pinger members can use their phones to broadcast messages to a list of contacts ("Paul, John, George - I'm at the bar with Mia. Meet us here.") and leave messages without ringing the recipient's phone. There's no need to dial the recipients' individual numbers, wait for voicemail, or worry about disturbing them. Recipients receive message alerts as emails or text messages, and can hear the original message on either their mobile phone or any computer. A Pinger website allows users to manage and share existing messages. Prior to launched in 2006, Pinger asked Method to create a brand that would communicate the system's purpose and ease of use. Method created Pinger's identity mark, collateral, and designs for the web-based application where users manage their messages. The mark's brightly colored speech bubble conveyed the use and the accessibility of the service, and the website design made an easy-to-use system even easier. A clean layout, informative icons, and sophisticated, application-like functionality, which Method coded in XHTML and Flash, helped users speed through their messages.
