Santos Vet is a locally-owned veterinary clinic located in the vibrant city of Lexington, Kentucky. Their vision was to establish a warm and welcoming clinic that catered to the needs of residential customers with middle-income backgrounds. Committed to providing exceptional care for pets, Santos Vet aimed to become a trusted name in the community and a go-to destination for all pet-related needs.
Operating from a single location, Santos Vet prided themselves on their personalized approach to veterinary services. With a team of experienced and compassionate professionals, they strived to create an environment where both pets and their owners felt comfortable and cared for. Their commitment to quality care and dedication to building lasting relationships with their clients set them apart in the competitive veterinary landscape.
Understanding the importance of visual identity, Santos Vet recognized the need for a recognizable and familiar logo that would represent their brand effectively. They sought a logo design that captured their essence, showcasing their commitment to providing top-notch veterinary services while maintaining an inviting atmosphere for pet owners.
Referring to their clinic as a family-oriented business, Santos Vet emphasized the significance of building trust and rapport with their clients. They aimed to offer a comprehensive range of services, including preventative care, diagnostics, surgery, and specialized treatments, all delivered with a personalized touch. With a strong belief in the human-animal bond, they strived to create a harmonious partnership between pet owners and their beloved companions.
By collaborating with Santos Vet, our goal was to translate their values and aspirations into a visually appealing and impactful logo that would resonate with their target audience.
The Challenge
The challenge presented to us was to create a logo that would serve as a distinctive and recognizable mark for Santos Vet. They envisioned a logo that would encapsulate their brand identity and resonate with their target audience of pet owners in the community. The key was to strike the right balance between simplicity and recognizability, ensuring that the logo would leave a lasting impression in the minds of both existing and potential clients.
Although Santos Vet acknowledged the need for a logo, they were not fully aware of the profound impact that a well-designed and thoughtfully crafted logo could have on their business. They entrusted us, based on a glowing recommendation from a satisfied past client, to create a logo that would elevate their brand and set them apart in the competitive veterinary industry.
Furthermore, Santos Vet expressed their desire for a logo that would adapt to their ever-changing needs. They recognized the importance of flexibility in their branding, as they aimed to expand their services and cater to the evolving demands of the local community. Therefore, the logo needed to be versatile, allowing for easy application across various marketing materials and platforms.
Our challenge was to take these considerations into account while designing a logo that would capture the essence of Santos Vet. We understood the significance of creating a logo that would reflect their commitment to providing exceptional veterinary care, while also exuding warmth, approachability, and trustworthiness. Our task was to craft a logo that would not only make a memorable visual impact but also resonate with the emotions and values of pet owners seeking reliable and compassionate veterinary services.
In response to the challenge, we embarked on a creative journey, exploring various design concepts and carefully considering the unique traits and aspirations of Santos Vet. Our aim was to create a logo that would not only meet their expectations but also exceed them by delivering a visually striking, recognizable, and versatile symbol that would become synonymous with their brand.
Solution
To address the challenge, I decided to combine two iconic animals, a dog and a cat, in a simple emblem. This approach created a friendly and approachable aesthetic. By utilizing negative space and color, I crafted an emblem that would be easily recognizable to the audience.
Consistent lines were used throughout the emblem, creating a cohesive and visually pleasing design. The color scheme focused on two primary colors: Yellow-Green and Vivid Cerulean. The green color represents nature, health, and growth, while blue represents cleanliness, reliability, and tranquility.
For the typography, we opted for Cooper Black, a familiar and playful font that added to the overall friendly appeal of the design. The final result was a seamless logo mark that exuded a sense of fun and approachability.
To complement the logo, lifestyle shots of pets with their owners were used to showcase the connection between humans and their beloved animals. The app design incorporated flat solid color backgrounds, making it easier for users to select pets for adoption.
The solutions provided included a logo mark, typography choices, stationary design, and a simple brand guide that highlights the unique traits of the brand.
By incorporating these elements, we were able to create a visually appealing and recognizable brand identity for Santos Vet, perfectly capturing their desired friendly and inviting atmosphere.
