Social Health Australia: Creating a human-centred brand identity

Social Health Australia (SHA) is an independent unaligned charity dedicated to making social-emotional-existential support more widely available, especially for those impacted by social isolation and loneliness. 
As a newly formed organisation, they approached The Edison Agency to support them in their endeavour of seeking DGR status and government funding. Realising the importance of a new visual identity and organisational positioning to establish a distinctive point of difference in market - they approached us for support. 
Through a human-centred approach to design, The Edison Agency created a visual language that spoke to the progressive proposition of SHA through an uplifting and inspiring visual language and tone of voice. The implementation of a contemporary colour palette solidifies SHA’s modern approach to traditional pastoral care through handcrafted Matisse inspired paper-cut symbols - a stark contrast to the forboding category norms. This design language has been crafted by people who care - for people who care, capturing the SHA’s core “human connections” messaging. 




Using design to express positivity, empathy and home to those experiencing grief, isolation or trauma.
Meaningful human connections.
