Midland Memorial Hospital

Midland, Texas

In West Texas, hospitals in several small cities compete for the Permian Basin’s healthcare customers. A new brand position for the Midland’s hometown hospital helped distinguish them from their neighbors.

  • The positioning line, "Your home for healthcare," emerged after a brand discovery workshop with the hospital CEO, CNO and other stakeholders. The subsequently-developed logo is a clean, modern representation of the endlessly flat geography of the area combined with a warm West Texas sun graphic. Lowercase sans serif type reinforces the informal, non-corporate position.
  • The brand package includes specifications for typography and primary and secondary color palettes for use across myriad service lines.
  • To reinforce the warmth of the "home" message and the emotional appeal of the brand position, we recommended liberal use of photography, much of which includes families in embraces.
  • We defined standards for logo usage in print and miscellaneous internal applications.
  • Brochure templates and standards allow for local vendors to produce materials in a consistent fashion.
  • Street-level pageantry uses color and imagery to define different service lines.
  • The DNA of the identity was the foundation for a new signage approach.
  • Billboards along the wide West Texas highways were a significant part of the initial brand rollout.
