Brand Guidelines

Welcome to Nordhealth’s brand guidelines. Here you’ll learn how to express our brand and follow our design philosophy to uniquely distinguishing us from the competitors.

We like to think that we’re not your traditional healthcare software provider. For starters, we have strong Nordic roots. That drives us to challenge the status quo with modern design thinking and innovation. We want our brand to reflect this.

Nordhealth brand

The Nordhealth logo is composed of the “together” logomark and a logotype set in Armin Grotesk Ultrabold. The horizontal version is the primary logo and should be used in all external applications. Always use the logo files provided in our downloads section. Do not try to re-create the logo yourself.

Logomark

Nordhealth logomark is visually based on the N from our company name. But if you look closer it shows two individual elements coming together to form a solid structure.

This is where the idea of togetherness comes into play. Two sides working as one. On a business level it represents a key driver for Nordhealth, acquisition. For the customer and end users it expresses the seamless use of our products to improve productivity and communication. It brings healthcare professionals closer to their patients. It defines you and your teams working as a strong unit.

On a deeper level it illustrates a bigger idea, change and innovation on the global healthcare stage. We make our products available to the patients where it makes the biggest difference.

Nordhealth logo

The Nordhealth logomark can be re-created for a particular event or to emanate an idea. This is strictly for internal use only and should be led by the marketing and brand team.

Logo minimums

Small logo rules apply when the logo is below 100px wide for digital and 26mm wide for print. The logo lockup should not go below 50px/14mm wide. The singular mark can go as small as 25px × 25px or 7mm × 7mm and for a favicon, 16px × 16px.

Logo usage on backgrounds

The Nordhealth logo should only be used as a solid white on strong backgrounds. The blue combination variation can be used on white or very light backgrounds.

Nordhealth logo

For applications that don’t require color or need to be knocked back use either a solid black version or the secondary navy blue.

When using the lockup with other logos be sure to apply the right amount of safe space so the logo can still be legible.

When you need to indicate that another product is made by Nordhealth, use the following logo variation that is available on our downloads page.

Colors

Our primary and secondary colors are Sky Blue and Navy Blue. They should be used in all applications within the brand with more weight than any other tertiary color.

Tertiary palette

Our tertiary colors should be used less frequently. They should be applied as a highlight or to create variation. They are used across the brand in underlines, illustrations, highlighted numbers, backgrounds and many more touchpoints.

Nordhealth colors

Gray palette

Grays are essential for any brand. They are used as backgrounds, secondary text, disabled states and in illustrations.

Gradients

Gradients add depth when we want to keep some touchpoints simplistic and not too colorful. Only use in digital applications.

Accessible color combinations

It’s essential that the brand colors used in conjuction with text are at least AA compliant when used on any digital application.

Color design tokens

Nord offers color design tokens which are a tech-agnostic way to store variables. We use tokens instead of hard coded values in all digital user interfaces to ensure a better consistency across different platforms.

Typography

The Nordhealth typeface is called Armin Grotesk. It’s used in all aspects of the brand. In headings, body copy, captions and numbers.

Please note that for application UIs (Veterinary & Healthcare) we use a typeface called Inter that should be utilized using Nord’s Webfonts package.

Number style

We have two number styles. Style 01 is for larger number pullouts and style 02, which is more legible, is used for paragraphy and caption styles.

Underlining

The underline is used to highlight specific words from large statement text’s only. Use sparingly to pullout a handful of words. No more than 2-4 per text block.

Illustrations

Our illustrations are inspired by process and product wireframe visuals used in software design processes. Style 01 illustrations all share the line element from the logomark. They are minimalistic in approach and idea but should be well drawn and use a minimum of 3 colors.

Line thickness can vary depending on scale. Extra small illustrations should start at 2px in stroke weight. As they increase in size they go up in 2px increments. Use your design eye.

Icons

Icons follow the same style as the illustrations. We have an extensive library of icons for any use which is based on Streamline iconset. We use them across all digital applications. Stroke weight is fully adjustable.

Photography

We have two main styles of photography. For head shots we use a cutout with a colored background from our extensive color palette. For images that show our people and environments we should adopt a more reportage style that captures the tone of our culture.

Our values

With every ambition, comes a set of values. Ones that shape our day to day culture, define who we are, what we do, and how we push forward.

1. Put customers first

Never overlook what really matters. Great service, ease of use, honest pricing, and respect for our customer’s time, money, and trust.

2. Take ownership

Think long-term and take initiative. Care about the outcome. Be accountable. Do the right thing for us, our customers, and the team.

3. Do more with less

Simplicity is the key to great results. Create fewer features, but make them great instead of merely good. Dare to say “no” to prevent the core from being lost in the noise.

4. Be stronger together

Engage beginners and attract experts to grow excellent teams. This isn’t something we do on our own — it’s all about sharing and exchanging ideas.

5. Embrace change

Challenge the status quo. Seek out and embrace continuous change, evolution, and improvement.


Brand personality

Brands are like peoples and people exhibit emotions through personality. As a brand we want to stay true to our personality in everything we do. The following personality traits express us:


Examples

Brand with two tones

We have two sides to our brand. Internally we apply the brand in a colorful, conversational and creative manner. External applications can be more monotone, to the point and business focused.
