RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The typical visual representation of hair medical brands often employs a restricted format of the Chinese brand name with pinyin, resulting in monotony. As the market evolves, demand for hair implant services has expanded beyond the conventional older male group to include younger and female customers. Consequently, it has become necessary for brands to establish unique logos that align with the aesthetic preferences of their target audience to better reflect the pursuit of the brand.
CHALLENGE: The challenge was the remodeling of the visual identity of the brand, aimed at creating a unique and recognizable design. The design team recognized the fundamental strength of the brand in breaking industry standards and exploring technological advancements. As a result, the design utilized the Chinese character He in the brand name, which was transformed into an arrow representing positivity, enhancing the visual identity of the brand with a sense of freshness and attraction.
