Believe in life Galenicum: A 7-year collaboration of consistent brand construction based on a single brand idea implemented on thousands of communication materials within more than 30 countries

The pharmaceutical industry is a key market for helping patients to overcome disease. However, in the case of serious pathologies, there is another major component often overlooked in the sector – a patient’s belief that they can overcome disease. This constitutes the key tenant of Galenicum’s brand essence that we defined.

POSITIONING · TAGLINE · CORPORATE IDENTITY · COMMUNICATION CODE

An outstanding positioning and communication code in the pharmaceutical industry

The brand tagline “Believe in life” is a manifesto to the human spirit of overcoming, both for the patient’s personal recovery and the effort of Galenicum’s team to develop the best possible treatments. We translated this positioning into a logotype inspired by the sunrise, representing hope, and a visual identity ruled by warm colours. Its handwritten headlines give all communication materials a ‘human’ look and feel, which stands out from the common cold and aseptic visual treatment in the pharmaceutical industry.

Vitae: A medicine brand inspired by life

We created the name ‘Vitae’ meaning ‘life’ in Latin, for Galenicum’s bioequivalent medicines, introducing its brand essence on the product itself too. Besides we developed a packaging design inspired by the shape of sunrise, which represents the start of a new day and the overcoming of disease. Thus, both name and packaging contribute to a consistent brand identity based on the “spirit of overcoming”.

Galenicum’s Therapeutical Area Classification System: Intuitive colours make medicines easier to identify

Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s “Vitruvian Man”, we made the ATC Drug Classification System defined by the World Health Organisation much more visually appealing and easier to understand by adding an intuitive colour to each of the 14 therapeutic areas. For instance, red was used for the cardiovascular system whereas blue represented the respiratory system. Applying the same color reasoning to Galenicum’s packaging would thus enable patients to intuitively identify each medicine. 

The same classification system is being used for Galenicum’s nutritional supplement brand Stop&Go, thus creating a consistent imagery within the same business group.
