Our goal at VIVID is to inspire and uplift the spirits of young children who have had a difficult childhood because of life threatening illnesses.

OUR MISSION
VIVID works directly with children’s hospitals and the patients parents or legal guardians. Our brand cares deeply about the patients and their families, so all costs are covered by their medical insurance. Our ultimate goal at VIVID, is to inspire and uplift the spirits of young children who have had a difficult childhood because of potentially life threatening illnesses.
HISTORY
VIVID began in 1982 shortly after Dorothy Lillard’s (who was also a nurse at a children’s hospital) 7 year old daughter, Chelsea, was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia. Dorothy noticed her little girl wasn’t as happy and free spirited as she was right before finding out her illness. She wanted to do something for her little girl that could inspire her to be hopeful and free spirited as she once was. Before becoming a registered nurse, Dorothy was a talented artist. Chelsea is a huge fan of princesses and fairytales, so Dorothy painted Chelsea’s room into a princess castle. Chelsea’s eyes lit up and weeks later, Dorothy could see a positive change in her daughter. Chelsea was more active, involved, and happy. It was then that Dorothy wanted to make more of an impact with her talented painting skills. She became more involved with the hospital, and even painted one of the corridors into a magical forest. Dorothy wanted to get more parents involved and bring the vibrancy into their children’s homes. Once she got a few clients, VIVID was born – positively impacting the spirits of young children.

MEET VIOLET Violet was diagnosed with lymphoma when she was just 3 years old. When her parents found out her diagnosis, VIVID came to the hospital to introduce the service we provide. Immediately they were intrigued, and a week later they decided it would be a great benefit to their little girl. Shortly VIVID painted Violet’s room, her spirits were uplifted portrait ofafter clientelle and her parents could see the shine in her eyes again.

CLIENTELLE
Our main clientelle are the parents or legal guardians of the children in the hospitals. While we first need to partner up with hospitals who sponsor us, it is the children who benefit the most out of the services that we provide. The great thing about VIVID, is that our services are approved by most insurance companies, so the hospital and parents are not responsible for the costs. Our clients are first introduced to VIVID by a doctor or nurse, shortly after finding out the diagnosis of their child’s disease. If they are further interested, a VIVID partner will go to the hospital and speak directly with the family talk more in depth about the process and benefit of our services.
THE LOGO
VIVID’s logo is bright, vibrant, fun, and modern all in one. The modern sans serif that is used as the main type, is Bio Sans. It is easily legible for both adults and children to read. Although the typeface is modern, the pattern and colors give a ‘wow’ effect to make potential clients want to learn more about the services that we provide.

IMAGE USAGE
IMAGERY STYLE AND CROPPING VIVID imagery is all done by hired photographers. Image styles must be consistent throughout the brand. This includes tone, color, and contrast. To live by the brand standards, all photographs of people are actual clients, rather than models. Our photography style is bright, professional, and clean. Cropping photographs are allowed, but the clients face must never be cut off of the edge of the photograph.
CLIENTS Photo release forms will always be given to the client upon consultation to use in advertisements, or social media usage. Clients will not pose, it will be organic and natural.

APPLICATIONS
All vans have are white – this is so the VIVID logo stands out against the white background. Clients can easily see the van from far away. On the back of our van is the phone number and website.
