Black Telehealth

brand identity
Project Overview
For too long, being Black in America has meant settling for second-rate care, inferior health, and a country that can’t be bothered to do anything about it. Black Telehealth is a simple yet revolutionary idea: Healthcare by Black people, for Black people.

Our team at VSA brought the Black Telehealth brand to life with a purpose-driven brand strategy and an identity system that speaks confidently and compassionately to their target audience.

It's mission

To launch the world's first Telehealth platform for Black people–with the goal of improving health outcomes for all Black Americans.

How we supported it

Rather than just design a new brand, we positioned Black Telehealth as the next step in the Civil Rights movement, urging prospective patients to join and "claim their right to good health." Our brand strategy focused on creating a visual identity that feels empowering and approachable, striking the right balance of trust and warmth—essential qualities in healthcare.

Identity and branding

We designed a bold 'B' logomark that feels strong and empowering, and paired it with a typeface whose subtle curves add warmth and approachability—striking the perfect balance of trust and confidence.

The brand uses green to symbolize health, growth, and wellbeing, while a modern take on the Pan-African flag colors keeps the look authentic and contemporary.

Website

The website was designed to be responsive across all devices, with clear information architecture and small, joyful parallax moments.

Design can’t solve systemic injustice—but it can help build the systems that do.
