Our Branding

Behind the Name

We wish that the story behind had a more complex or inspiring meaning to it, but metafrastis is simply the transcription of the Greek word μεταφραστής, which means translator. Although it is a simple word, its choice was strategic. Through meticulous SEO research and a decade of collected Google Analytics data, metafrastis emerged as a top search term in Cyprus and Greece.

With the fast development of the internet over the past decade and the widespread adoption of English as the language of information research online, more and more users are opting to search in English or even in Greeklish – the phonetic transcription of Greek words using the Latin alphabet – either for convenience or even due to the lack of spelling rules in Greeklish.

Languages are themselves living organisms. They constantly change and evolve. With our choice of a Greeklish name, we recognize the effect it has on the digital landscape and, therefore, are utilizing it to reach more people.

Behind the Logo

Our emblem tells a story of unity, precision, and cultural resonance. Crafted from vibrant, interlocking circles, it symbolizes the harmonious fusion of diverse languages and cultures. Just as a translator meticulously pieces together information, our logo seamlessly blends multicolored segments to form a cohesive whole.

The circle is a powerful symbol of unity, cohesion, and completeness, representing continuity and an endless flow without a beginning or end. In our logo, it evokes both the ancient Greek amphitheaters—spaces of dialogue, exchange of ideas, and the expression of democracy—and the seal, which signifies authenticity and protection. It reflects the connection between languages and cultures, as well as the precision and timelessness that define our approach to translation.

The intention was to use colors representing each language spoken by our translators. The graphic design team performed an extensive research on the specific HEX codes used on each flag, i.e France, Greece, the UK and the USA all use different hues of the color blue. Once all the data was gathered, the team decided which colors worked better together and created the logo. Each hue, meticulously chosen to represent the languages spoken by our team, reflects our commitment to authenticity and inclusivity.

In hindsight, the colors are almost identical to the ones used on the Olympic flag, with the addition of orange, which appears on the Cypriot flag.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a professional translator for my content?

Professional translators play a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy, clarity, and cultural sensitivity of your content across different languages. Professional translators possess a deep understanding of both the source and target languages, which enables them to accurately convey the intended meaning of your content without errors, misinterpretations or even semantic ambiguities.

Language is also deeply intertwined with culture, and a professional translator ensures that your content resonates with the target audience by considering cultural nuances, idiomatic expressions, and societal norms. Moreover, professional translators adhere to strict quality standards and undergo rigorous training to deliver high-quality translations that maintain the integrity and authenticity of your message.

We maintain consistency in terminology, style, and tone throughout your content, ensuring a cohesive and unified voice across all languages. While it may seem cost-effective to rely on machine translation or non-professional translators, investing in professional translation services ultimately saves time and money by avoiding costly errors, revisions, misunderstandings and ambiguities.
