Matthew Webb, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Cencora

The multi-year, branding evolution process included in-depth analysis among internal and external partners. Our systematic and sustainable approach to branding with a design-centric mindset is at the heart of the assets we created.

Building trust from the inside out and creating a differentiated offering in the healthcare market were among our goals to deliver a unique experience for this Fortune 10 healthcare company. Each brand element - including type, color, imagery, and graphics - was carefully designed with a specific intention and alignment to overall business objectives, and the outcome is a fitting and sustainable translation of strategy in design.

The new brand is driven by a spirit of innovation with a design that is energizing, confident and inspiring. The vibrant colors, dynamic gradients and powerful imagery evoke a radiant and bright experience. The new Cencora Gilroy font features a modern design-driven aesthetic with a powerful open type feature that is able to accommodate global languages and extensive digital applications. Cencora’s new wordmark logo is a move toward simplicity, increasing impact while reducing complexity, and projects a forward-thinking, bold organization.
