Your logo is the cornerstone of your medical brand identity. Healthcare logos should balance professionalism with approachability. Key principles:

• Minimum 16px body text for accessibility and readability
• Clear hierarchy with distinct heading and body styles

• Reception area should reflect brand colors, materials, and atmosphere

• Staff uniforms should coordinate with brand color palette
• Patient communication materials (forms, brochures) should be branded
