Branding · Auckland, working worldwide

Position clearly. Stand apart on sight.

Your brand is the gut feeling people get before they’ve read a word. We build that feeling on purpose: a mark, palette, type and voice that people trust at first glance.

The problem

3 branding traps
holding you back.

People judge a business by how it looks, often before they've spoken to you. AXIS Radiology came to us caught in all three.

Perception

Looking generic in a crowded market

When your brand looks like everyone else's, the only thing left to compare is price.

Where AXIS startedPatients couldn't tell the clinic apart from the hospital radiology department next door.

Consistency

Inconsistent identity across every channel

Different colours on the website, a stretched logo on LinkedIn, a rogue font in the pitch deck. Every mismatch chips away at trust.

Where AXIS startedFive clinic locations carried different signage.

Growth

Outgrowing a DIY or inherited brand

The brand you launched with got you this far, but it no longer fits the business. Investors, partners and new hires notice before you do.

Where AXIS startedAuckland X-Ray & Imaging Services had outgrown its name and its look.

Not sure whether you need a refresh or a rebuild? We’ll tell you straight.
“Loved the original work from Krush so much that I got them to do a second brand website for me as well. It's the extra attention to detail that they do. Highly recommend!”

Brand work · AXIS Radiology

start to finish.

Auckland X-Ray & Imaging Services had outgrown its name and its look. As AXIS it has one calm identity: mark, palette, pattern library, brand book, website, video and photography.

01The idea

The Embrace

A figure held inside an open sage ring. It reads three ways at once: a clinician supporting a patient, the letters a and x woven together, and the unfurling curve of a koru.

The AXIS emblem, called The Embrace, with notes on what the sage ring, eucalyptus figure, apricot arc and pale sage crescent each stand for
The idea behind the mark
02Logo system

Seven lockups

One logo, built to flex. Each lockup has a job, from fascia signage down to a favicon. The brand book sets the clear space and minimum sizes.

The seven AXIS logo lockups: full horizontal, full stacked, simplified, simplified stacked, with slogan, emblem alone and slogan stacked
Seven lockups, each with a job
The AXIS primary signature with its clear space and minimum width rules
Primary signature and its rules
03Colour

Healing Sage

Soft neutrals and Sage lead. Eucalyptus carries text and depth. Apricot is a warm accent for dots and rules, never large fields.

The Healing Sage palette: Sage, Eucalyptus, Apricot, Pale Sage, Chalk and Pine, with the ratio each is used in
Six colours and how much of each
04Typography

Two typefaces

Poppins for headlines, Hanken Grotesk for body copy. Contrast comes from size and weight, never colour.

The AXIS type system: Poppins for display and headlines, Hanken Grotesk for body and interface, with a sample hierarchy
Poppins and Hanken Grotesk
05Promise & pattern

Promise and pattern

The positioning comes down to three words: care, clarity, confidence. Hand-drawn fern and koru line work roots the brand in Aotearoa, and seven icons carry the promises onto walls, brochures and screens.

The AXIS brand promise on a sage background: Care. Clarity. Confidence.

The AXIS pattern library: hand-drawn fern frond, fern leaf, fern koru and koru swirl, with rules for using them

The brand in use

The same book runs the reception wall, the embroidered uniforms, the social tiles and the new website. We produced the video and photography too.

How we work

How we build
your brand.

1Free · 01

Discovery & brand audit

Interviews, a competitor audit and a hard look at what you already have. We work out what to keep and what to drop.

2

Positioning & strategy

One sentence that says who you're for and why you win. Everything visual is built to prove it.

3

Visual identity design

Mark, palette, type and a visual system, presented as real applications rather than a logo floating on white.

4

Refinement & sign-off

Two structured rounds. We refine the chosen direction until you sign it off.

Rollout & handover

Brand book, every file format, templates for the channels you use, and a handover session so your team can run it.

Your brand has
a job to do.

The job changes with the industry. Pick yours to see what it has to get right.

Health & Wellness

Warmth without weakness.

Health brands need to feel approachable and professional at the same time. We find the balance and turn it into a system your team can run.

Frequently asked
questions.

A logo is one asset. A brand is the whole system: mark, colour, type, voice and the rules that hold them together. We build the whole system. The logo is its most visible part.

Yes. Every identity comes with one: usage rules, spacing, colour values, type scales and the do-nots. It keeps your brand consistent when someone else picks up the files.

Yes. We keep what people already recognise and modernise everything around it.

Around four weeks from kick-off to a signed-off identity and brand book. Larger rollouts across packaging, signage or web run longer and are scoped up front.

You do. Every source file, in every format, in your name. No licensing surprises.
