DESIGN NAME: Ogliari Dental Clinic
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Corporate Identity
INSPIRATION: The teeth are the mirror of our face and soul and, in turn, our face is responsible for demonstrating our emotions. We can show our teeth off to express anger, but we can also display them in a beautiful smile or even a big laugh. And that is the point. People do not go to the dentist to treat their teeth. They go there to be able to express themselves with much more confidence, without the fear of being judged by rotten teeth. Our teeth are directly connected to our emotions.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The reason why most people are afraid of being on a dentist chair is the dentist procedure itself that makes drills and tweezers seem to be like torture instruments. Thinking about it, we decided to use a friendly and funny language, creating a system of symbols based on our facial expressions, such as smiles and laughs.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: It is a dynamic project and it can use symbolic expressions without losing its identity or clarity. In addition, the symbols shape a pattern that can be used in lots of applications such as wallpapers, fabric prints, among others.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project lasted about 3 months, from Parana to Rio, in Brazil.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: We used the briefing with the customer, some concept panels besides lots of sketches to achieve the final version. The softwares used were, besides the Adobe Illustrator and a Photoshop, the Typekit and the Wacom Tablet.
