Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Dreavita is a progressive and inclusive wellness brand dedicated to providing empowering mental health services and resources to underserved communities, fostering emotional healing, personal growth, and a sense of belonging, so that every individual can thrive and embrace a life filled with purpose, resilience and joy. Visual identity was intended to be sensitive, respectful and considerate, reflecting the brand's inclusive character.
- Inspiration
- The concept was born from the idea of strong nature and we called it "Simplicity inspired resilience". As the patterns of nature hints us to consistency, strength and growth, the branding aims to pass these messages through affirmations and minimal design approach. Frames combined with natural patterns support the growth and resilience feeling. Illustrations are focused on the patterns of nature, demonstrating the repetition and the resilience result in success in life.
- Research
- In the research phase, the focus was the needs of people from underserved communities who are looking for emotional support.
- Challenge
- The biggest challenge was to reflect Dreavita’s abstract characteristics and find a way to connect with the audience. The aim was differentiating the brand from the usual self-growth brands to create an identity that feels genuinely intimate. Young adults with mental health issues have strong feelings: they want to be understood, and they’re very sensitive. So, something that doesn’t feel real and intimate would be ingenuine. Nature was the biggest inspiration: life passes by it, and it stays there, strong, but not overwhelmingly in your face. Nature gives you power and support on a deeper level.
- Realization and Technology
- Three logo versions were created to be flexible to adapt in any graphic media and to underline the brand’s inclusivity. The design thinking method of Diverge and Converge was used. All work was done digitally as vector based assets with Adobe Creative Suite.
