Daylight also renewed the brand–refining the logo and brand elements to express the trustworthy, curious, and playful nature of the brand.
The brand renewal work reflects the newly defined brand principles while continuing the legacy of the brand already recognized by users.
The logotype was designed based on the letter-shaping principle of Hangeul–separating the consonants and vowels of Hangul and reassembling them as if they were stacking blocks. The lovely rhythm and energy of handwriting, which was one of the characteristics of the existing logo, is preserved, but it is designed to give a more clear and trustworthy impression.
Prior to our rebrand work, the San Francisco Health Network's messaging placed emphasis on the providers and the system. The Network described itself as the City’s “only complete system of care.” The Network logo was an icon of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Through our work, we wanted to shift focus from describing the system to communicating the value added for the patient. We sought to:
- Publicly reaffirm San Francisco’s commitment to accessible health care for all of its residents, regardless of immigration status or insurance;
- Create a unifying brand that resonated deeply with patients and staff; and
- Give staff desperately needed tools to clearly and consistently describe the Network, its values, and its services.
