Design Details

Unique Properties
The world around us is constantly changing, and so are the demands of the patients, and the way we provide healthcare. Emergency Medicine was always and will always be at the forefront of healthcare. Emplus offers training courses for Emergency Medicine professionals. The essence of the Emplus identity design is to captured the dynamics and visualizing that missing piece that makes the difference. The different forms are used alternately and increase the experience of the changing world and the dynamics of the profession. They symbolize the shifts in focus to the new situation.
Inspiration
Inspired by the visual language typically used in the medical world, the designer wanted to create new forms by abstracting the essence and delving deeper into simplicity. The combination of the red cross with a subtle aqua-colored dot creates a medical icon with the nuance of the 'missing piece' for which Emplus provides the training.
Research
The creative team has made endless test series to arrive at the correct layout and the right size of the dots.
Challenge
Keep it as simple as possible, but still telling so much, that's a challenge!
Realization and Technology
Digital and paperwork
Operation and Interaction
The different forms are used alternately and increase the experience of the changing world and the dynamics of the profession. They symbolize the shifts in focus to the new situation.
Project Duration and Location
EMplus started in 2023 and will continue to grow the following years.
