Our brand 

persona

We are transformation artists.

 

The work we do is transformative. Not only for us, but for our clients and the physicians and patients they support. When we talk about ourselves, it is always from the perspective of empathy and expertise. Our voice is honest, sometimes playful, and always smart.

​

Experienced alchemists: grounded equally in both science and art to produce work that surprises and delights. 

 

Confident, yet humble: we listen before we speak, and we speak with conviction. 

 

Insatiable hunger for knowledge: it’s about the
ride as much as it’s about the reveal.

Our tone of voice

In everything we communicate, we lead with empathy.

 

We instil confidence by sounding knowledgeable, supportive, direct, and innovative.

​

Our sense of humour is bright and clever, never cruel or insensitive. 

 

We take every opportunity to conjure a feeling of wonder and fascination in our approach and our output.

Visual identity

Recognizing the importance and excitement of breaking into the American market, NFA Health wanted to ensure that our name was clear to all. For that reason, we moved forward with the NFA Address Health logo.

FILE TYPES

PNG: Used in digital. Has no background, allowing it to sit on any background it is placed on. A PNG is bitmap, and will pixelate if made larger than the set file.

​

JPEG: Used in digital and print. A JPEG is bitmap, and will pixelate if made larger than the set file.

​

PDF: Used primarily for print, but can be used in digital / screen. A PDF is vector, so it will never pixelate.

​

SVG: Used primarily for digital, but can be used in print. An SVG is vector, so it will never pixelate.​

How to use our logo

Allow the width / height of one "O" of the logo to be placed around the logo. The size of the "O" will change depending on the size at which you choose to use the logo. Whatever the logo scale is, the "O" scale will be the same. This is done to ensure that nothing crowds the logo in a given layout.

Do not do any of the following examples: skew the type, change the proportions of the type, stretch the type, change the colours, or use it on a background that makes it hard to read. There is more detail on backgrounds below.

Examples of how to use our logo can be found in the Brand Templates section below.

A brand is nothing without their colour palette. We use vibrant and lively colours to bring life and modernity to our new brand. Below is a breakdown of the colours. Note that CMYK values will be determined in the future.

COLOUR PROFILE DEFINITIONS

​

HEX: Used in digital. Stands for Hexadecimal, a form of HTML colour code. It is the preferred form of digital colour communication as it only requires six numbers / letters. 

 

RGB: Used in digital. Stands for Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B).

​

CMYK: Used in print. Stands for Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y) and Black (K). 

Our Colour Palette

Type says a lot about a brand before even reading the words. We have two fonts in our brand - Poppins for the majority of copy, and Yellowtail as an accent font.  Below is a breakdown of their typefaces and how to load them.

Poppins

Poppins Light

Poppins Regular

Poppins Italic

Poppins Medium

Poppins Medium Italic

Poppins Semibold

Poppins Semibold Italic

​

Poppins Bold

Poppins Bold Italic

Poppins Extra Bold

Poppins Extra Bold Italic

Poppins Black

Poppins Black Italic

yellowtail

Yellowtail only has one weight, as it is a display font (i.e., not meant for more than 1 or 2 words at a time), and is therefore not used extensively.

Examples of how to use our fonts can be found in the Brand Templates section below.

DEFINITIONS

​

Font: Think of a font as an album with a collection of songs. For example, saying “Arial” would refer to the whole font family.

​

Typeface: Think of a typeface as a single song on an album. For example, Arial Light, Arial Bold, or Arial Regular are all typefaces referring to a specific weight in that font family. 

​

HOW TO LOAD FONTS

​

Download: Click the button(s) above and download the typeface to your preferred location.

 

Install on Mac:

​

1. Unzip the downloaded file(s). Keep the folder and delete the original zipped file.

 

2. Open the Font Book app on your computer. This is native to all Apple computers.

 

3. Select All Fonts tab in Font Book and drag the full font folder into this window. 

 

4. Restart Font Book and the program you will be using the font in to ensure the addition registers.

​

The font is now in your system, so you can delete the font folders if you choose.​ You can also add these fonts into the My Fonts section or create Collections to organize them in Font Book.

​

Install on PC:

​

1. Unzip the downloaded file(s) by right-clicking the .zip folder and then clicking Extract. 

 

2. Right-click the fonts you want and click Install.

 

3. If prompted to allow the program to make changes to your computer, and if you trust the source of the font, click Yes. 

​

All fonts are stored in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. Optionally, you can add fonts by simply dragging font files from the extracted files folder into this folder. Windows will then automatically install them. To see what a font looks like, open the Fonts folder, right-click the font file, then select Preview. 

​

You can also see your installed fonts via the Control Panel. Depending on your version of Windows, you will go to either Control Panel > Fonts or Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Fonts.

​​

Our Fonts

A large part of the brand is our backgrounds, as they set the stage for the content that lives on them. We have established two different types of backgrounds - gradients and gears. 

The gradients add texture, vibrancy, modernity and a punch of gorgeous colour. They are used in different ways with different content to help determine the hierarchy of messaging and imagery on a given slide.

Gradients

NFAH_SlideBGs_Gradients_1920x1080_RGB_07.png

The gears are a nod to the movement and forward trajectory of technology intertwined with nature. We added the gears to the gradients in the brand to allow for some variations and flexibility to hold content.

Our Illustrations
Our Photography

We use photography in cases where we feel more than our custom illustrations are needed. Below are examples of how we use photography.

Showing Humanity

NFAH Pitch Photo BG.png

We use photography in combination with our brand gradient to bring a human aspect to pitches when it best suites a client or disease state. These are chosen on a case-by-case basis. ​​

Content Support

NFAH Strategy Image.png

Our team often uses inspirational imagery to help support their message or concept. They are often chosen from Unsplash and Pexels, which are free resources. â€‹

Mood Setting

NFAH Mood Board.png

We use mood boards with a mix of photography, type, illustration, and iconography to get our conceptual thinking across before we move on to fleshing out full concepts.

Examples of how to use our photography can be found in the Brand Templates section below.
