O3 ABOUT CLIENT 3.1 Area of Communication 3.2 Client Background 3.3 Client History

3.1 Area of communication Branding for a medical device manufacturing company Why branding is important for a medical device that may feel “softer” in a sector where product innovation is measured many times in somewhat modest feature changes in this year’s model?

For example, this year’s product model may produce a test result in 10 seconds compared to last year’s model delivering that same result to the physician or patient in 25 seconds. Is this “speed” feature change a real benefit that an end user values? Is this a sustainable competitive advantage and point of differentiation or can a competitive product react and match or beat this product feature quickly in the market? This question becomes even more challenging when the only difference may, for example, be a model name change from XL 200 to XL 300 without any noticeable product feature change at all.

So yes branding is important for the long term and strong branding involves two key components: Branding starts with the “master brand,” i.e., the company name or the therapeutic area brand name for a group of products; Then, after establishing a master brand, the product brand can also be established over time.

4.1 Target Audience The individuals and departments that need to be convinced of a device’s suitability and superiority over competitors’ products:

Surgeons

Medical Technicians

Hospital Administrators

Chief Financial Officers

Physicians primarily inquire if and how a device improves existing methods to offer a better outcome for patients?

How much training will be required?

How does this TCO compare with those of competitive products or to existing solutions?

Financial administrators are interested in far more than the cost of a device. They also take into account how the expense is distributed among the initial capital costs (purchased or leased), maintenance fees, and any other components of the total cost of ownership (TCO)?

Will this device perform better than what we currently use?

Whether the device’s operation requires fewer steps, will reduce the propensity for errors, require less time to accomplish the task, etc.?

Visually my brand language should convey these messages: It’s necessary to clearly depict the product features and benefits specific to patient outcomes.

Message is critical to reach and persuade this audience.

Message must also include information about the device’s safety features and ease of use.

Touting benefits that speak to these concerns offers marketers the best chance for capturing administrators’ attention and building financial support for making the sale.

6.1 Brand Name

6.2 Brand Tag line

“MECVIZ” - MEDICAL ENDOSCOPIC CAMERA AND VIDEO INSTRUMENTZ

Vision Redefined

Suggested by client only, they simply abbreviated the descriptive names in to acronym which sounded interesting and strong brand name in medical sector.

They were inspired by the name of one of their own company ORMED SYSTEMS, Operating Room Medical Equipment & Devices.

The process behind the nomenclature begins not with creative ideation but rather with strategy. The reason is simple: they needed a name that clearly shows the tactical foundation and aesthetic and functional uniqueness of the company of what will be presented and offered to their target audience.

They re-articualted the segments of the identity based on overall positioning strategy that encapsulates what is being offered by the company and to whom, which is there in their name “MECVIZ” which talks about Camera and video.

Tag lines are probably the second most noticeable element of business identity. With just the two words client is able to make it understandable and have summarize the product or service they offer. They narrow down an entire company into two well crafted, compelling words.

MECVIZ offers 3D- Technology devices that help surgeons to have crystal clear vision while performing surgery. Vision Redefined accurately describe the MECVIZ. This tagline aligns with the company’s persona.

The idea behind the concept of tag line for MECVIZ is to create a memorable phrase that will sum up the tone and premise of a MECVIZ and its products, which reinforce the target audience’s memory of a product.

Nomenclature is clear enough to understand and pronounce by product development engineers to surgeons to lay people and consultants. It is easy for target audience to understand what is being ofered and to whom, atleast it gives the feel of Medical which gives one understaning to relate MECVIZ with medical sector.

6.3 Brand Products View 3D DHD Crystal Pixel HD Voluflate 40L CO2 Insufflator X-ON 300 VIEW MAX HD Telescope Product naming is the discipline of deciding what a product will be called, and is very similar in concept and approach to the process of deciding on a name for a company or organization.

These Product naming involved the application of creative and linguistic strategy.

Linguistically, combining morphemes, phonemes and syntax to create a desired representation of a product develops names. The name had to be easily pronounceable since it is a medical product. It needs to be able to be very much easy and understandable, and most important to be self-explanatory for medical people so that they may not fumble in emergency case therefore something that resembles the purpose while also they had to play with the phonetics for example for xenon light source they came up with enlight, n-light, lumi, lumos, Omni light, x-on but x-on was easiest to pronounce, small, and immediately gave the meaning of the product.

So based on the purpose and utility of the particular product, they brainstormed different words that symbolized ‘everything’ so those words cud be anything words like whole, uni, universal, etc.…

These product names are descriptive names ascribe to the product characteristic, which invoke a vivid image that alludes to a brand benefit.

7.2 Color Derivation

Color Psychology Blue is soothing and fresh seen as trustworthy, dependable and committed. Being the color of two vital elements for living – air and water, it is timeless and universal.

Dark blue is perceived as authoritative corporate wealth regal precious. Dark blue graphics project a sense of trustworthiness, tradition and stability. e.g. Dark blue is seen as uniforms worn by police and the navy – it demands attention and respect.

Banks and legal firms select dark blue as their corporate colour – it signifies justice and order, and always looks professional and efficient.

Red is percieved inherently as stimulant. It demands a strong visual attention.

Red is directly related to the level of energy perceived. Red draws attention and a keen use of red as an accent can immediately focus attention on a particular element.

Black, grey, white and red are popular color combinations, especially in modern and minimal spaces or those with a slightly industrial edge to them by incorporating elements of steel, glass, leather and stone.

Gray is the color of intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. It is perceived as long-lasting, classic, and often as sleek or refined. It is a color that is dignified, conservative, and carries authority.

Grey is percieved as professional, sophisticated and high-tech.

Grey is seen in commercial kitchens, hospitals and surgeries – where hygiene is paramount and decoration is perhaps secondary. It is also used widely in food processing factories and laboratories where neutral and practical colours are required.

Since we entered the new millennium, there has been an increase in the use of light silver in audio and visual equipment, cameras, office accessories, mobile telephones, computers and so on. Remember when all these objects were beige!

9.2 Concept F

40

Concept F This is the logotype created to give the feel of laparoscope and laparoscopic surgery. The MECVIZ word is divided into two parts so as to give cut (invasion) effect and sharp. Colors are divided in to dark and light, reason being dark on upper part to show the force of going in. Lower part of typeface is split in two lines that depict laparoscopic shears.

41

9.2 Concept G Designed by: Mr. Lionel Lobo

Concept G This form is inspired from Helix. In mathematics, a helix is a curve in 3-dimensional space. The Cartesian parameter coordinates to define a helix.

This parameter leads to precision and accuracy.

This concept uses a Pictorial mark logo style. This form gives an abstract representation of the process of laparoscopy. The form has a serious & corporate feel while the colors add dynamism to the form.

11.1 Product Labels Points needed to be taken care of before designing Labels: • These Labels are going to be applied on laparoscopy equipment’s.

• • These equipment’s are going to be in ICU room all the time for which printing technique should be such that the life of the colours of labels is increased beside the fact that they are kept in certain room temperature.

• • Printing technique will also include dome buttons, transparency, and laser cut process.

• • These equipment’s are going to be used by surgeons while performing surgery; graphics over labels should be subtle enough that one should not find it bold and dark in ICU room.

• • Name of the equipment should be visible from a distance.

12 PROJECT CONCLUSION 2.1 Retrospection 2.2 Biblography

12.1 Project Retrospection Working in the branding industry is an enriching experience and a definite eye opener. Understanding the clients expectations, learning about category codes, understanding the current market trends are things that can one can pick up only in a professional environment.

LUMIUM Innovations gave me an opportunity to work on various projects. Under the mentorship of my colleagues I learnt various conceptual processes as well as presentation techniques to tackle design problems.

The Studio team was ever ready to share their vast knowledge about printing processes and production techniques. Creating designs suitable for production is an invaluable learning.

Marketing and Strategy teams are invaluable support systems that provide guidance to the designer. They are the vital link to the client and give inputs about the expected solutions.

In conclusion, my outlook towards design has changed drastically after this experience and has led to a wider and holistic understanding of Branding.
