Great Bear Healthcare

Brand Design

Great Bear Healthcare is a UK based manufacturer of high quality Continence products, designed to meet the individual needs of Patients and Healthcare Professionals. We have been working with the company for a number of years on the design and development of both product and packaging.

This relatively young and dynamic company are now looking to significantly grow the business and approached us to advise them on how best to develop the brand to better communicate its values and aspirations to their core audience.


  • Audit

  • Brand Evolution

  • Brand positioning

  • Packaging

  • Photography and Art Direction

Having engaged in full brand/customer audits and positioning workshops to establish the story, mission, vision alongside the values, and tone of voice behind the brand, we then used this information from these sessions to create a brief and project outline to ensure that the design language going forward was accurate.

We evolved their brandmark, developed their brand language and a broad range of collateral that truly reflects the character and ethos of the business.

This involved development to the bear; raising it’s head, and smoothing off the contours to communicating a confident more positive bear. Caps on the typeface were removed and more humanist font was introduced which holds so much more character with various weights throughout.

We brightened the colour palettes to reflect the dynamic, passionate people behind the brand moving away from the muddy browns and blacks and introduced a gradient to create more vibrancy.
We implemented this throughout a range of touch points, including photography, stationery, exhibition, interiors, website and packaging.

We worked with closely with the Great Bear team and its customers in order to fully understand what Great Bear meant to them.

As a result of this, we developed a portrait series with introductory text to emphasise the companies character, and allow trust to be built between the team and their customers.
