Through the use of storytelling symbols, black and white images, and a reduced color palette, the brand was immediately able to stand out from competitors. The new voice and messages cut through category clich茅s, bridging both technology and humanity. Visuals of customers and patients emphasize partnership, connections, and compassion. Varian鈥檚 state of the art technology is presented in a clean and sleek way that highlights its mastery and its benefit for the people who need it most 鈥 patients.

The new brand launched at the ASTRO convention in October 2017, solidifying Varian as a leader in cancer care. Employees鈥 reactions were overwhelmingly positive, and competitors were overheard talking about the rebrand鈥檚 powerful impact.
