Sanitas Health Insurance

There are 58 health insurance companies in Switzerland. With around 835,000 customers, Sanitas is one of the largest. A basic health insurance is mandatory in Switzerland; its benefits and services are therefore regulated by law and basically the same with every insurance company. Additional insurance can be purchased by individuals, as needed, but they tend to be rather comparable.

As their products and services seem interchangeable, images of Swiss medical insurance providers are seldom differentiated. Sanitas builds on strong partnerships and advocates a healthcare system that is directed towards the future. This integral DNA must be clearly felt and seen at all its touchpoints from brand image and experience across to communication.

Together, everything is easier – especially where health issues are concerned. Our guiding principle “Together for Your Health” is the basis for an updated brand and a cross-channel communications strategy. The unchanged Sanitas logo in a two-toned version plays with the concept of contrasts that symbolizes togetherness and a proximity to customers and persons – contrasts that generate a force, create emotions and engender new solutions. A high-grade dark green and bright red in the color palette provide extra luminosity conveying youth and agility for the brand.

Primary print expressions are now two-toned to underscore significance and to make it easily recognized and remembered. Just as the design system, the imagery is also characterized by contrasts. Light and shade generate tension, create moments and emotions. An emotive image spot presents the new Sanitas.
