About Pentaheal Clinic Rebranding Brand Identity

Pentaheal Clinic Rebranding is a brand identity created for a Korean medical clinic specializing in functional medicine. The main motif of the identity is extension. The universal medical symbol of the cross is used as a simple visual language that patients from many countries can recognize. The symbol combines the cross with the letters P and H, the abbreviation of the clinic name. The axis of the symbol extends in both directions, so the mark suits application items of various shapes and sizes. Signage was designed for each floor of the clinic in Seoul.

Production Technology: Pentaheal Clinic is located at Gangnam Station, the most developed area in Seoul. The space was divided into two floors, 'reception and examination center' and 'VIP and treatment room', and signage suitable for the characteristics of each floor was designed. The reception floor is designed with a bright and lively white-tone concept with an atmosphere of hospitality, and the treatment floor is a luxurious and reliable concept with a toned-down color. It was designed for the consistent branding of separate spaces.
Design Challenge: Functional medicine in Korea is an unfamiliar medical field that is not yet widely known. Through the rebranding of Pentaheal Clinic, we aim to promote functional medicine as a new medical field in Korea and Southeast Asia. Conceived from the medical symbol 'Cross(+)' which represent medical services, the motif of symbol mark is expandability of horizontal and vertical axis. Lines sprawling from the 'Cross(+)' shape express that Pentaheal's service area can be expanded to various fields.
Project Duration: The project started in July 2021 and finished in December 2021 in Seoul.
Operation Flow: Every letter, except 'P, T, H', has a unique serif that expresses Pentaheal’s global medical vision. For symbol mark, 'P, T, H’ abbreviated new symbol has been integrated with the universal medical symbol 'cross'. The axis of the symbol mark is extended in both directions, to be used on various shapes and sizes of the brand application items. Each line sprawling from the 'Cross(+)' shape represents the core value of #pioneering #leading #central #trust; and it differentiates Pentaheal as a set of medical practices that goes beyond treating people to providing people exuberant lives.
Research: To emphasize expertise, our team collected as much data as possible through a variety of methods, including surveys, style curation, interviews with hospital staff and visitors, and also functional medicine examinations. Our conclusion was that Pentaheal's philosophy should be easily communicated to the public and provide a consistent brand design. Through the idea of expandability of the medical symbol 'cross(+)' in both directions, we have developed a consistent brand identity with various communication items such as branding and signage.
Inspiration: The biggest motif of Pentaheal Clinic design is 'extension'. Functional medicine, a field that is not yet well known in Korea, is expressed as a medical symbol "cross(+), an easy and simple visual language so that it can be recognized by global patients. It was balanced as branding in combination with 'P' and 'H', which are the abbreviations of the hospital.
