PRIMARY FUNCTION: Logo Design
INSPIRATION: The main inspiration was formed from the platoforms key goals, to provide care services to everyone, whoever they are where they're at, this was achieved by combining 3 key elements:
1. Location: Map pins represent providing care to you.
2. Care: Pins form a heart shape.

By bringing 3 elements together the logo is decipherable at a glance, Care in One Place is designed for you, whoever you are, wherever you are:
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Integrating 40 years of knowledge, Care in One Place provides a one-stop online market where people can assess their personal circumstances to find the right care package & services.
Care in One Place was looking to raise the capital to develop the system, they worked with Crowdcube.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: After initial sketches and brainstorming, I developed the branding digitally using Adobe Illustrator and other Adobe applications.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The design application was initially for digital use, with future plans to apply the design to printed materials. The key technical consideration beyond these applications was to ensure the design could easily be applied to a typical modern smart phone app icon. This was achieved by keeping the main image element roughly square. Text and icon lockups were created in various layups to enable application on both digital and print uses.
TAGS: Logo, Branding, Care, Health, Online, Heart, Rainbow.
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: Beyond a limited deadline, a key challenge was to provide a consumer looking brand within the heal care sector that avoided typical health cliches, ideas of "crosses" and amorphous people shapes for example. The design needed to have wide appeal and attempt to describe itself as open to all, with a wide target market that didn't fall into gender, ethnic or age related silos.
