The following pieces are collateral that I created for the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio. The pieces that I have shown are just a select few of the promotional materials and items that display the sleek, clean branding that I created for their company. Upon creating the branding for OSU Medical Center, I felt that I should somehow incorporate a portion of the college's branding.
I chose to use the classic Ohio State "O" (in the Letterman font) and played around with some ideas. After playing around with the scale of the "O", I realized that blowing it up large, rotating it (to create an angle that had been used in medical center branding previously) and overlaying just a portion of it in the actual branding created an interesting, yet clean visual appearance. While the design simply looks like two bodies of color with a space in between, it is actually an ode to the Medical Center's past branding as well as the university itself.
By using the space created by the overlayed portion of the "O" for a picture and filling the rest with a slightly transparent color, I was able to create a branding template that could be customized for a number of their core services.
I chose to color code each of their core services with their own custom color for their marketing collateral. The colors range from Pure White (for their Buckeye Baby service) to the University's signature PANTONE Red (Massage Therapy.) I felt the softness of the white would perfectly represent the gentleness and delicateness of a baby while the red reflects the warmth and comfort of a nice, relaxing massage.
The remaining services are varying greys (0,0,0,15- 65.) The Employee Assistance Program was assigned the darkest grey to signify the fact the service helps employees with their personal issues outside of the office (the "darker" parts of life.)
