2023

Role

Visual Identity Designer

Brief

Create a logo and style guide for a line of pharmacies founded in Vietnam.

At a glance

Situation

The founding company picked the name ‘Circa’ but the rest of the brand identity was entrusted to us.

Insights

The competition amongst pharmacies in Vietnam is tight so allowing CIRCA to distinguish themselves in a crowded market was crucial.

Offered Solution

Creative Intent

Orange quickly became an obvious choice: firstly, because a blue or green logo felt too stereotypical, and secondly, because it aligns with the chosen keywords “dynamism” and “vitamin.”

The circular ‘C’ reflects the brand name ‘Circa’ and its goal of connecting and bringing together the different players in the healthcare journey—doctors, pharmaceutical companies, and patients.

Outcome

The color palette has been implemented in all of CIRCA’s communication (online and offline).

Since then, a few locations have opened across Ho Chi Minh City and other Vietnam provinces. Each location displays the logo at the front of the shop.
