How to Create a Medical Logo: Guidelines and Tips

If you want to create a good medical logo with no sweat, take a look at the guidelines and ZenBusiness tools examined below.

1. How to pick an icon

The most popular symbols used on medical logos include:

• traditional medical symbols (red cross, Asclepius’s staff, bowl of Hygieia, etc.)
• healthy organs and body parts (teeth for dental clinics, eyes for ophthalmology clinics, etc.)
• human figures (men, women, kids – for family clinics; pregnant women – for women’s health clinics; mother and child – for pediatric practices; and others).

When creating a logo with the ZenBusiness online service, pick the “Medicine” category.

To specify your search request, use keywords like the ones given below. Feel free to enter keywords in both Russian and English.

Keywords to choose an icon: medicine, Red Cross, vessel, medical appliances, doctor, hospital, heart.

2. How to pick a color

Each industry has an established set of shades that are traditionally associated with its values. For the healthcare industry, best colors for your medical logo include:

• blue
• red
• green

It’s only natural that these colors stand for all things related to the medical community. Blue is synonymous with serenity, purity, and precision. Associated with nature and freshness, green is known for its soothing effect. When we see red, we think about love and care. Nonetheless, healthcare facilities aren’t afraid to think outside the box and explore the entire color spectrum. The main thing is to know when to stop and use no more than 3 matching shades. Also, don’t be tempted by the abundance of fonts available on the internet. Choose 2 fonts: one for your company name and one for your slogan. Try to find blogs or magazine articles by consummate designers that specialize in the healthcare industry. It’s a great way to hunt for exciting ideas and learn the meanings behind medicine-related symbols.

3. Which font to choose

When deciding on a font for your medical logo, pay attention to the criteria below:

• Legibility. Make sure your selected font stays easily understandable in any size.

• Balance. Your font and icon must go well together. Bulky icons look great with massive fonts like After Disaster, Europe, and others.

• Keep it clean. Avoid hand-written and fancy fonts, as they make your text hard to read.

4. More helpful tips

Do not clutter your logo with a sophisticated image (or images) and contact information.

Using multiple fonts is not a good idea. If you must do this, choose no more than two matching colors.

Avoid turning your logo into a rainbow. If you need a multi-color logo, use 2-4 matching colors, tops.

Don’t overdo it with text and images. Leave some blank space on the edges and between elements. This will keep your logo visually friendly across multiple displays.

Be sure to use vector format.
