Wellness Brand Guidelines
Essential principles for creating a powerful, consistent visual identity that resonates with health-conscious audiences.
Wellness Logo Design Principles
Core concepts that guide the creation of effective wellness brand identities.
Simplicity & Clarity
Wellness logos should communicate their message with elegant simplicity. Clean, uncluttered designs that work at all sizes ensure your audience immediately understands your brand essence without visual noise.
Natural Harmony
Incorporate organic elements and natural symbolism that reflect wellness without being cliché. Subtle references to natural forms create a sense of balance and vitality that resonates on a deeper level.
Thoughtful Color Psychology
Colors evoke specific emotional responses. Wellness brands benefit from intentional palette selection—calming blues and greens, energizing yellows, or grounding earth tones—aligned with your specific wellness approach.
Memorable Distinctiveness
While adhering to wellness design principles, your logo needs a unique visual hook that separates it from competitors. This distinctive element should be tied to your specific wellness philosophy and offerings.

Wellness Logo Applications
Ensuring your wellness logo maintains its integrity across all brand touchpoints.
Spacing & Sizing
Maintain clear space around your logo equal to the height of a key logo element. Establish minimum size requirements to ensure legibility at small scales, especially important for wellness products with limited packaging space.
Color Variations
Develop a primary color version along with secondary variations for different backgrounds. Include monochrome, reversed, and single-color versions for various applications from digital to print to merchandise.
Usage Restrictions
Clearly document how your logo should not be used: no distortion, no color alterations outside the approved palette, no removal of elements, and no placement on visually cluttered backgrounds that reduce impact.
Digital Application
Create responsive logo versions optimized for various digital platforms. Consider simplified versions for favicon use, app icons, and small digital applications while maintaining brand recognition.
