Project Goals
- Develop a highly adaptive logomark that can meet health and regulatory guidelines across multiple states.
- Create a comprehensive brand guide to maintain brand consistency across various platforms and vendors.
- Develop a flexible system of environmental graphics and regulatory signage that can be implemented into new and existing dispensary locations.
- Ensure the interior graphics would not overwhelm or overstimulate patients and convey the scientific approach Ethos has developed.
- Design and develop a website that clearly directs patients to the information they need about products.

Our Approach
The discovery process involved site visits and research into the local and regional cannabis industry landscape. An extensive system of sketches and concepts were developed to convey the underlying character and beliefs of the brand. The concept of the “flower of life” was developed from the life cycle of a plant and represents the various facets of the Ethos Cannabis brand merging together.
The interior and exterior signage package was created to brand each location. We took a systematic approach to the signage system by mapping each element on the architectural plans and by creating elevations to organize and plan the content of each sign type, this included ADA and regulatory compliant signage.

The Result
The Ethos Cannabis brand has been successful in adapting to the changing marketplace and evolving regulatory requirements. The flexible brand system has allowed the look and feel to be tailored to an increasingly large number of new locations since the initial store launch in Philadelphia in early 2020 with brand consistency, and equity.
