The brief
We are brand guardians for Alliance Healthcare. The visual identity guidelines are created and managed at global Group level, so it is our job to balance the needs of each individual project with the requirement for coherence and consistency within the whole identity system. We are also trusted with the task of harmoniously evolving and extending the visual identity system for applications not yet covered by the guidelines.
As well as looking after everything that is branded ‘Alliance Healthcare’, we also undertake myriad projects for all of the owned sub-brands.
