For Essencial Pharma, a Brazilian compounding pharmacy expanding into the premium dermocosmetic sector, designer Rafaela Terencio crafted a new visual identity.
The brand's most defining element is its monogram: a stylized, circular lowercase "e" that has been sliced horizontally to resemble a capsule.
Inside, a 3D-rendered pill — half violet, half mint green — reinforces the pharmacy theme.
Research from Lazard et al. (2014) indicates that users generally prefer designs with low visual complexity, making this minimalist approach highly effective.
The brand’s color palette pivots around three primary tones: a rich, dark blue, a vibrant mint green, and a bright lavender violet.
These are applied across the packaging and other brand assets in clean, blocky compositions for a modern feel.
This palette reframes the brand’s tone from purely clinical to more lifestyle-driven. It still feels grounded, thanks to the dark base tone, but still trendy and fresh, which is important for skincare products.
You'll notice a minimal, geometric sans-serif font used for the wordmark. The typeface has beautiful rounded terminals that give it a soft and friendly feel.
There is also a clear hierarchy between the bolded "essencial" and the lighter "pharma."
The typography helps to soften the authoritative tone often present in pharmaceutical branding. Instead, the brand feels user-friendly and completely trustworthy.
A key insight from this health and wellness logo design is its ability to reposition a traditional pharmacy as a modern lifestyle brand.
Using a vibrant aesthetic is a powerful lesson for any legacy brand that is looking to attract a new, more design-savvy audience.
It's a huge challenge for a traditional brand to attract a new, more modern audience without losing its original sense of trust.
