Gene Solutions brand pattern — vertical stripes in teal, green, violet and white
( 01 )

THE BRIEF

Gene Solutions had built Vietnam’s largest cell-free DNA testing capability and needed the brand to catch up. The identity had to hold together across clinical reports, hospital signage and consumer campaigns — and read clearly to a doctor and a patient in the same breath.

WHAT WE DID

We rebuilt the mark on a fixed construction grid, then wrote the system around it: two primary colours, a gradient family, a pattern derived from the mark itself, and a type hierarchy that survives a lab print-out. Every rule exists so the next person can apply it without asking us.

OUTCOME

A full rebrand delivered and rolled out from 2023: mark, colour, gradient, pattern, type and motion, plus the manifesto film and campaign kit.

Where science meets humanity

Leading in affordable cell-free DNA testing

One hierarchy, three jobs: a line that carries a campaign, a heading that survives a lab report, and body copy that a patient reads once and understands.
