The traditional healthcare system can leave women feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, under-served and second guessing their choices.
Bodywise exists to help women regain control of their bodies and well-being by being at the center of their wellness journeys. They do this by tackling everything from hair care to hormonal issues through making healthcare tailormade and personal.
Bodywise came to us at a very early stage of their branding process, and we helped them define their brand from purpose and positioning to visual language and communication.

Brand and Identity

The Name
The Name
While naming, we kept in mind all the strategic elements that helped us define the type of brand we wanted to be.
After creating a consolidated list of about 10 names - we scored each on the following categories: Memorability, Relevance to TG, Connotes Wellness, True to Brand Positioning and Uniqueness.
The name Bodywise was selected from this list because of its simplicity and ability to capture everything that the brand stands for.
Logo
Logo
A simple, elegant wordmark with academic and editorial characteristics. The ‘BE’ is reminiscent of annotation — cueing ‘guide’ and ‘intelligent’ for the personality of the brand.

Icon
Icon
Constructed to add fluidity and femininity to the brand, as well as a monogram of B and W together. Can be used on its own as a symbolic representation of the brand.
Colours
Colours
We selected colours that are bright, yet mature and feminine to represent different sections of the brand architecture.
As the brand will have a wide array of products, it was important to distinguish each section with its own colour, while ensuring that the palette worked together as a whole.
Typography
Typography
We chose a monospaced font to reflect the technical and medical face of the company. Its sans serif family compliments the mono font perfectly.
Visual Language System
Visual Language System
We designed a apothecary-like grid system for the brand to communicate as effectively as possible.
It’s flexible enough to be used both on packaging and throughout brand communication.
Each section explains why and how brand/product operates, and acts as an added layer to help guide women through the chaos of wellness.

To break the rigidity of the grid system, we also introduced flowing text as part of the brand language - for more fun and friendly communication purposes.

Packaging
Packaging
The packaging had to represent the brand by looking intelligent, informative and elegant. We also included the swirly text on the inside of the packaging with a bit of the brand narrative, as a fun discovery.
Communication Samples
