Question
How do you stretch a brand from multi-speciality to single-specialty — without breaking it?

Answer
By building a system where sub-brands borrow equity, but earn their own meaning.

 

AAKASH ORTHOCITY

Aakash Healthcare began as a super-speciality hospital in Dwarka — a modern facility known for tertiary care across disciplines, with particular strength in orthopaedics and joint replacement. As the brand matured, so did its ambition. The founders saw an opportunity: while India had successful single-speciality chains in maternity, IVF, and eye care — orthopaedics remained fragmented, surgeon-led, and difficult to scale.

They didn’t want to build another department. They wanted to build a destination. That’s when NH1 Design was brought in — to craft a name, identity, and architecture that could clearly separate orthopaedics from the multi-speciality narrative, without severing the equity of the Aakash name. We named it Aakash Orthocity — a brand that signals precision, purpose, and repeatability. A city of expertise within the universe of Aakash.

We retained the original identity but gave Orthocity a distinct sub-colour, a new visual system, and a language built around one promise: “Doing it right the first time.”

Because in orthopaedics, there are no second chances.

.  We took the idea of ‘X-ray vision’ — the ability to see through and treat with precision — and turned it into a visual identity. The design language draws from real X-rays, abstracted into a graphic system that feels sharp, clinical, and confident. A distinct sub-colour sets Orthocity apart while retaining trust from the Aakash parent brand. Every element — from typography to tone — is designed to reflect what the hospital promises: To get it right, the first time.

The Golden hour is very critical in emergency care. Prompt and quality healthcare at a time of urgency can mean the difference between life and death. The new identity for RED.HEALTH embodies the essence of timely and life-saving care.
