Applied Radiology Interior Spread

Applied Radiology is a clinical review journal for medical imaging that reaches over 50,000 radiology professionals worldwide. They wanted to refresh their visual identity so that the journal would better connect with modern readers. That’s where we came in.

The primary typeface for headlines and large text uses Bio Sans, a neutral sans-serif that has a subtle geometric quality while maintaining a minimal and clean feel. Legibility was a key factor in the type choice, so the large x-height made for high readability in both print and on screen.

The publication covers feature a graphic image centered on black. Text is kept to a minimum, to allow the image to shine.

Sections are distinguished by color, making it easy for busy readers to find information that’s relevant and useful to them.

With content that can vary wildly issue-to-issue, organization was key. So we created a flexible grid system to be able to contain a number of text lengths, callouts, tables and images.

Applied Radiology is a physician-authored clinical review journal for medical imaging that reaches over 50,000 radiology professionals worldwide. For over 30 years, the publication has been a trusted authority at the leading-edge of the profession. It was time for an identity to match.

We updated the logo to modernize the brand, and created a new look for the publication, with updated layouts and new organizational systems to help busy readers find information that would be relevant to their fields.

On the cover, graphic images were selected to stand out on a black background, giving the journal a bold and differentiated identity. Inside, clean lay-outs, and bright way-finding colors organized information to be as searchable – and readable – as possible, while a new type was aided on-screen legibility – important since more readers than ever before were using digital copies of the magazine.

The result? An eye-catching modern journal for the modern radiologist.
