The brand refresh builds on existing equity while bringing clarity and depth to the identity. The dove icon was simplified into a more timeless, versatile mark, symbolising peace, the Holy Spirit, and hope emerging through grief. Paired with the clear, pastoral strapline, “healing the pain of abortion”, the brand communicates with honesty and intention, supported by a visual language that moves from darkness to light, reflecting the journey from pain to healing.

We felt from the first moment that Matt and the Vine team talked with us that we were in safe hands. We love the look, the tone, the key design themes and the practicality of our new website. Our work is sensitive and Vine have presented it well. Most importantly the website works for those who visit it. Thank you.
