Combined Insurance

Brand Refresh
Product Brochure (8-page)

When Combined Insurance embarked on a Brand refresh the goal was simple: everything should reflect their mission to make things easier.

The design system wrangled a lot of elements into an attention grabbing aesthetic that highlighted easily digestible messaging. It was a MASSIVE project, but one that created a modern, friendly and clearly designed system they could implement globally.

Graphic System

AT A GLANCE

We created this one pager—a cheat sheet of sorts—listing directives and guidelines for correctly implementing the system and graphic elements. 

CHEVRON
The Chevron (always formatted in green and remaining in the same proportion (reflection) as that of the Carrot) is used as a directive device housing and/or pointing towards pertinent information.   
CARROT
Similar to the Chevron, the Carrot ticker also points towards first-tier information by sliding vertically up and down within a layout and always being placed above a full-bleed image or solid fill.  
DESCRIPTOR BAR
Standard and stacked versions for the United States shown above. 
ICONS
HEALTH
MEDSUP
ACCIDENT
DISABILITY
LIFE
These graphics (seen here as standard Product Buttons) represent Health, Accident, Disability, and Life products.
