The most recent study on alternative medicine statistics in 2012 shows that 33.2 percent of U.S. adults<\/a> use complementary health approaches.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s 1\/3 of the population seeking out the help of holistic medicine practitioners in a variety of areas and specialties.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s no wonder that designers are having to come up with new ways to make a holistic logo that stands out from the rest.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the design of such a logo can\u2019t make too big of a departure from the norm if it\u2019s to deliver the right message.<\/p>\n

All of this begs the question:<\/p>\n

What Makes for An Effective Holistic Logo?<\/h2>\n

A well-designed logo can significantly influence the decision of someone who\u2019s seeking out holistic medicine for the first time.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the latest trends catching the eyes of would-be clients.<\/p>\n

1. Avoiding Medically Cliche Colors<\/h2>\n

The medical field has traditionally stuck with the red and white as their go-to colors. That\u2019s because red is the color associated with our most physical needs.<\/p>\n

But as people turn to holistic medicine, they\u2019re seeking more than just a focus on the physical.<\/p>\n

So green is one of the predominant colors you\u2019ll see in holistic logo design. It folds in the elements of the earth and denotes being rooted and grounded. It is the color of balance and growth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Holistic medicine practitioners have also begun to add splashes of other colors too though \u2013 sometimes for a sense of playfulness in an otherwise overly serious industry.<\/p>\n

2. Keeping it Simple<\/h2>\n

Some logo designers are moving away from color altogether. They\u2019re using geometric shapes in black and white color palettes to create clean and crisp designs.<\/p>\n

This makes sense, as simplicity has long been a go-to in many health and wellness logos. A logo that was designed twenty years ago can be easily replicated by taking a variation of the current symbol and juxtapose it with some bold typography<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It keeps the simplicity of the original design but gives it more staying power.<\/p>\n

3. Ditching the Fonts<\/h2>\n

Holistic medicine aims to be a more personal approach to healing. So depending on the business, some holistic logo designers are swapping out stodgy fonts for handwriting instead.<\/p>\n

Hand lettering adds a whimsical element to the logo design while giving it a unique quality that separates it from all of the others.<\/p>\n

4. Employing the Power of Symbols<\/h2>\n

Professions have long used symbols in their logos. Lawyers use balances, while plumbers might have pipes that spell out their initials.<\/p>\n

The following are some of the symbols holistic logo designers find to be effective:<\/p>\n
