Brand Architecture

Our brand architecture is a framework for organizing and naming entities within the Weill Cornell Medicine masterbrand. The architecture helps tell a unified story about Weill Cornell Medicine - and facilitates the understanding of the brand ecosystem by multiple audiences.

The brand architecture defines the entities, hierarchy, structure, and naming conventions of the system, which supports both brand strategy and visual applications.

The brand architecture does not reflect our internal organizational structure, but leads with patients as the primary consideration.
