To eliminate differentiation and allow Curaleaf to anchor itself to one cohesive identity, we created a comprehensive Brand Book covering its visual identity, tone of voice, a graphical toolkit, and real-world applications:
Visual Identity
We adapted Curaleaf’s existing assets, updating them to give the brand a more professional, modern look. We standardised rules for logo usage, digital typography, and colour palettes, ensuring everything met WCAG accessibility guidelines.
Tone of Voice
To communicate the brand’s vision, mission, and core values to a multinational audience, we established standardised tone-of-voice guidelines built on four core pillars: trustworthiness, innovation, optimism, and global adaptability.
Operating in a highly regulated and patient-oriented industry means the brand must balance authority and innovation with human empathy. Swaying too far in either direction would result in not being taken seriously by clinicians or failing to resonate with patients on a human level.
Graphic Toolkit
To let Curaleaf apply these guidelines, we created a suite of flexible visual assets including custom textures, gradients, and iconography. This toolkit was built specifically to make it effortless for internal teams to produce new content while staying strictly aligned with the brand.
Along with these visual assets, we outlined dedicated human-centric photography guidelines to bridge the gap between high-tech medical research and patient care.
Brand Applications
To showcase how the brand exists in practice, we provided real-world examples of the guidelines applied to digital platforms, print collateral, and physical spaces.
