Nakaya & Co. is honored to have been invited to undertake the brand upgrade design for Medishield. As a leader in Malaysia's first-aid kit market, Medishield has been deeply rooted in the industry for over 30 years, earning the trust of consumers with its professionalism, reliability, and safety, and securing a market share of over 90%. With the evolving market landscape and shifting consumer demands, Medishield requires a more modern, intuitive, and symbolically meaningful brand identity to further strengthen its brand recognition. Recently, Medishield was awarded the Malaysia Book of Records, a testament to its long-standing commitment and excellence in the first-aid industry. We are truly honored to have contributed to this important milestone in the brand’s journey.
Throughout the brand upgrade process, we engaged in in-depth discussions with our client, thoroughly analyzing Medishield’s core brand values and the distinct characteristics of the first-aid industry, aiming to create a visual identity that enhances brand recognition while effectively conveying its professional essence:
> M + S Integrated Shield Shape – By combining the initials “M” and “S” of Medishield, we crafted a shield-like symbol representing safety and protection, reinforcing Medishield’s positioning as a guardian of emergency care while strengthening consumer trust and security.
> Logotype Design – The brand name “Medishield” itself serves as the primary visual identity, reducing the need for additional symbolic elements, ensuring a straightforward, easy-to-recognize presence, and enhancing brand visibility across digital platforms, packaging, and physical retail channels.
> Visual Metaphor – The shield not only symbolizes protection but also implies immediate assistance in emergencies, reinforcing Medishield’s expertise and authority and further solidifying its role as a trusted provider in critical situations.
> Color Psychology – The red and white color scheme aligns with the visual identity of the medical and emergency industry, effectively conveying a sense of urgency and alertness, making the brand more impactful and easily distinguishable.
This brand upgrade has not only modernized and professionalized Medishield’s visual identity but also reinforced its leadership position in the industry. We hope that this refreshed design will help Medishield continue to expand its market influence and provide reliable first-aid solutions to more consumers. Collaborating with Medishield and witnessing its recognition in the Malaysia Book of Records has been a truly valuable and humbling experience for us.
