Making Diabetes History – Creative Campaign

We were so honored to be asked to create the end of year campaign for our client the Diabetes Research Institute.
 
This year they have made monumental and historic strides with their first patient in the BioHub clinical trial, and have contributed to the field of diabetes research for more than 40 years.
 
To mark this ground breaking research, and on-going efforts to end diabetes, francdesign was asked to create a logo and social media creative for Facebook, Twitter and email applications.
 
The strategy was to show cells that convey science as well as the patients who will benefit from it. Powerful imagery combined with a strong word mark that places emphasis on the word HISTORY and the importance of the research was created. The blue DRI signature color and grey bar adds consistency to the branding and messaging. Finally, a call to action to join the DRI in continuing its efforts was conveyed in a warm and personal handwritten font that offers a more engaging and inviting tone. The design works well on all devices.
 
Congratulations to the Diabetes Research Institute and thank you for letting us be a part of this historic campaign and working towards #MakingDiabetesHistory!

Park South Hotel prior to new logo implementation

FRESH off the desktop…francdesign creates a new logo for the Park South Hotel brand in NYC

Keeping pace with the renewed vitality that is making Park Avenue South and the Flatiron District Manhattan’s hottest new destination, The Park South Hotel, at 124 E. 28th St., recently refashioned itself to delight 21st century business and leisure travelers.

francdesign’s Approach

To complement the hotel’s newly refashioned ambiance and keep pace with the evolving neighborhood, the hotel’s branding needed to adapt. Our task was to design a new logo that was contemporary and fresh, reflecting the vibrant NoMad (north of Madison Ave.) area that surrounds it.

 

The challenge was to develop a brand that was structured, flexible, and would “have legs.” The name Park South would remain the same. We selected a clean font that functions equally well in digital, print, and environmental signage applications.

 

Brand Exploration

To position the hotel as modern classic, we chose a friendly, approachable palette that conveys a sense of stylish openness. Finally, we incorporated an Art Deco graphic flourish to compliment the hotel’s architecture and enhance the overall brand feeling.

The resulting logo is strong, timeless, and contemporary. It functions well on all platforms and – best of all —our client is very satisfied with this fresh brand identity.
