We are proud to have designed Oncode Institute from the ground up – from the name to the full visual identity, from the tagline to the founding principles book, from the digital platform to the royal launch event. Every step of the way, we’ve worked in close collaboration with the Oncode team, the five Founding Scientists, and the four funders, who will invest €120 million over five years.

Designing an empowering identity started with defining Oncode’s core principles in a strong, accessible manifesto. Clearly stating what we stood for enabled us to develop a powerful, future-oriented name: Oncode Institute.

The name fuses the word “oncology” with the aim of unraveling cancer’s genetic code while communicating the authority and unifying power of the institute. The accompanying tagline respects the complexity of cancer and amplifies the unique focus on translating research into practice: Outsmarting cancer, Impacting lives.

A visual identity comes to life in its application. For Oncode’s launch event, we deployed our design in a wide range of media, from scientists’ keynote presentations and the institute’s website (developed in-house) to business cards and decorations. Even Her Majesty Queen Máxima held our designs in her hands as she officially launched the new cancer institute.
