Modernvivo is an AI literature intelligence platform for drug discovery and preclinical research, and its customers include some of the biggest pharma companies. Their brand didn’t look like it. The two founders came to me with a new feature on the way and a brand that hadn’t kept up with the product: a tool that helps scientists find the research that matters, without digging through hundreds of papers. The one requirement was to keep their original logo, so I built the new identity around it.

Saving time isn’t enough if you can’t trust what comes back. We didn’t want another AI product that replaces scientists. Modernvivo is a tool for them, one that makes their work easier and faster. So the brand had to feel credible enough to trust the results, and warm enough to keep coming back to.

Credible enough to trust

Modernvivo works with some of the biggest names in pharma, but its brand didn’t reflect that. The new identity had to earn the same trust scientists place in the results the product delivers.

Highlights

Every search Modernvivo runs produces a table: rows of studies, columns of conditions, cells of data. Highlights take that structure, meaning the grid, the coordinates and the density of results, and turn it into something you want to look at. What looks like an abstract illustration is a real dataset: the shape of the literature, drawn from the inside out.

Every study is a specimen

For the final direction, Specimen, I treated research the way a lab treats its samples. Every study is a specimen and every data point a cell. The identity borrows the visual language of the lab, from well plates and microscope slides to biological columns, all catalogued and labelled.
