Health Science Identity System

Client CCSF Health Science Department Description Logo, letterhead, envelope and business card Program Illustrator Role Design, production & prepress

Concept The Health Science Deparment provides innovative methods of teaching and healing the physical and social illnesses in society (e.g., STDs, alcoholism, poverty and homelessness). To represent their difference, traditional images of medicine were avoided, instead, a symbol was chosen to represent the abstract idea of their role in promoting a healthy society. The Chiron symbol represents “teacher” and “healer;” it is linked to the centaur from Greek mythology who first taught humanity the healing arts. This logo also looks forward to a possible department name change to the more descriptive “Community Health Studies.”
