We were StokeSignals. Now we are Prequel. Yep. We've renamed our naming agency.
How's that for meta?

There was nothing wrong with our old name. We liked it. A lot. We own the trademark. We have a great domain name. Clients and partners have known us by that name - for 10 years. So… we decided to change our name.Makes total sense, right?
Check out our rather wordy site and let us know what you think.
