5) EXISTENTIALANXIETYISNORMAL
CRAFT A VISUAL IDENTITY Once you have sorted out the more
existential facets of the brand identity, you can start sorting out a visual
identity: logo, website, fonts, colors, businesscards,and letterhead.
The great thing about design is that if applied correctly it can make your
business instantly emit the values you want to communicate—
trust, gravitas, innovation, quirkiness, luxury, whatever your brand
identity dictates. However, do not attempt to design your own brand. It
almost never works. Hire a professional who actually knows what
he’sdoing. Itwill pay off.

NOTE! Color in scientific papers
quite a recent thing!
Contemporary paper design – lets add
some colors New online-only journals in
particular have pushed the state of the art. A
current PLOS paper features colored text and
organizes the page with shaded areas and boxes.
Within these sections we have tried, in the redesign
of our layouts and key elements, to ensure that a
reader easily gains a clear idea of why he or she
shouldbereading an article.We've created spacefor
more descriptive headlines and other display
elements that allow a reader to get a quick sense of
what an articlehastosayandwhoitsauthorsare.
The new design also emphasizes the use of charts
and graphics that offer a quick summary of the
key data underlying an opinion pieceor news story. It

6. VisualIdentity Healthcare Branding
The perpetual challenge for healthcare manufacturers is to
ensure that in the stressful, time-poor environments of clinical practice
the correct product will be easily identified. The method to best
achieve this is graphical demarcation. This need for utility gives rise to
what we might call the ‘clinical aesthetic,’ a visual language that
aggregates the myriad of potions and applications but also the
processes, regulations, collateral, architecture, vehicles and other
material of healthcare.
Prior to the 18th century, the common image of healthcare was
ramshackle quackery or the brutalism of the barber-surgeon. By
the time of the Enlightenment, medicine had emerged as a
venerable profession. The paradigm shift necessitated a
visualidentity tosupportthisnew authority.

14. VisualIdentity What about logos?
https://doi.org/10.1093/jcr/ucv049
It is theorized and shown that circular- versus angular-logo shapes activate softness and
hardness associations, respectively, and these concepts subsequently influence
product/company attribute judgments through a resource-demanding imagery-generation
processthatutilizesthevisuospatialsketchpadcomponentofworkingmemory.
How does a company decide on the shape
it will use for its brand logo? Designers are
taught that “circles are graceful and their
curves are seen as feminine. They are warm,
comforting and give a sense of sensuality
and love”; and “squares and rectangles
represent order, mathematics, rationality,
and formality” (http://vanseodesign.com/).
These shape associations are widely used in
the teaching and practice of visual brand
design, but the guidance they provide is
very general. Our research contributes more
specific guidance, with its results
differentiating situations when effects of
logo shapes on product attribute judgments
are more or less likely to emerge.

Green is often associated
with the coolness of
leaves. People often
associate it with nature,
health, good luck, and
jealousy.
Blue is often associated
with the coolness of the
sea and sky. It has been
shown to calm the senses
and lower blood pressure.
It may stimulate feelings of
trust, security, order, and
cleanliness.

In fact, as co-author James Kellaris, UC’s marketing
department putsit in a press release, the study
suggests that "blue is ‘greener’ than green terms
of conveying an impression of eco-friendliness,
despite the frequent use of the word ‘green’ to convey
thatidea."
25. DataVisualizationThe ‘old school’ scientific figures

Thisisaremake ofafigurethatwasoriginally
published in the New York Times (NYT) in
2007.
This is a self-contained figure that delivers a
clear message on cancer deaths. However,
it is not precise. The chosen layout makes
it actually difficult to estimate the number of
kidney cancer deaths because of its bottom
position and the location of the labelled ticks
at the top. While this is acceptable for a
general-audience publication, it would
not be acceptable in a scientific
publication if actual numerical values were
notgivenelsewhereinthearticle.
