Visual identity centered around trust for a scientific testing laboratory
Canna Analytical is a scientific testing company whose mission is be the north star for modern, market-leading, and reliable cannabis lab testing.
Given that the cannabis industry still faces apprehension within the scientific and legal community, Canna Analytical was born as a spin-off from their parent company MAI, as an attempt to maintain distance from any taboo while still leveraging the infrastructure and experience of a larger company. While their desire was to create something separate from MAI’s current traditional brand language, they still wanted to emulate the same sense of “highly skilled scientists with a security-first approach” as their parent company.
The ask was to build a modern, welcoming, and scientific brand language that was simple and malleable enough to grow over time as they continued to refine their offerings. Their target audience of clients who need testing services are: distributors, manufacturers, R&D, and cultivation farms. It was important to not only create a design language that was distinct and modern compared to MAI, but to also tap into the culture of their clients to evoke trust and familiarity.
