02 The problem

A category with no visual memory.

Caduceus, medical typography: every pharmacy borrows the same signs, so none of them is remembered. People remember "the pharmacy", never which one.

03 Approach

A system, not a logo.

Territory rejected

Classic typography and conventional medical lettering.

Rejected not for taste but for function: they signal the category, not the brand. That treatment is correct and legible, and it produces one more pharmacy on a street that already has several.

The guiding idea

One shape, three readings.

The symbol fuses three signs into a single silhouette: the leaf for care, the pestle and the bowl for the pharmacist's craft. All three held together by one symmetry.

04 The mark

Leaf, pestle, bowl.

Pharmacie Latreche symbol
/01Leaf

The botanical source.

/02Pestle

The grinding tool. Precise preparation.

/03Bowl

The base where the formula is made.

A clean drawing that reads as a pharmacy and puts trust, care and quality first.

Presentation board: the symbol and its three parts, leaf, pestle and bowl.
05 The system

Three versions, one family.

A primary logo for the shop front, a secondary logo for flexible layouts, and the mark alone for small spaces.

Primary logo: the symbol beside Pharmacie Latreche Ibtissem.
Secondary logo: the name set alone. Logo mark: the symbol alone.

Colour

Clean medical blues and aquas, softened by a warm sand. In the applications the mark sits on a deep pine green.

Colour palette: deep teal, aqua, mint, soft aqua, warm sand and sky blue.
