01Overview

Aqua Dental is a brand identity concept for a family dental practice: a logo, a palette and type, two brand shapes, business cards with an appointment card back, a set of social ads and brand guidelines. It is a concept, not a client project.

The mark

The Aqua Dental logo: a tooth folded from two aqua facets beside the words AQUA DENTAL
Two facets fold into one tooth

The tooth is folded from two facets, like a paper model, so it reads as precise and friendly at once. Heavy AQUA carries the name; light DENTAL sits beside it.

03Aqua Dental

The palette

  • Aqua#1CBAB5
  • Lagoon#4EC1C0
  • Mint#B3DFCF
  • Deep#0B4442
  • Charcoal#191818

Both aquas come straight from the logo. Mint softens the backgrounds and a deep sea green carries the words, because white text on aqua is too faint to read.

04Aqua Dental

The type

Montserrat in its black italic gives the headlines their confident lean. Figtree keeps everything else calm and easy to read, from opening hours to appointment cards.

Type specimen on pale mint: Figtree setting Aa and a line about gentle care for the whole family

Brand elements

Two shapes and a color field: the facet, the tooth's diagonal split; the lens, a big soft circle that frames a face or holds a headline; and flat mint behind a studio smile. Each piece uses one of them.

Business cards

One charcoal front with the logo and a facet edge, and two backs: a contact card for the team and an appointment card with lines for the date, time and dentist. The name and contact details are sample text.

In use

A set of social ads. Each leads with a person, carries one headline and ends on the logo, with white headlines only on deep green so they stay readable.
