Myotonic
My Foundation. My Support. My Hope.
MDF is an international non-profit dedicated to providing care and finding a cure for Myotonic Dystrophy. With the goal of raising awareness, they approached A LINE to create a new brand that could support their incredible community by inspiring people to take action.
A key insight of our research and strategy phase was the opportunity to use the “My” from Myotonic as the foundation of their messaging framework. Through a simple shift of perspective from "them" to "us", we gave the brand a powerful first-person voice that could bring focus to the many incredible things the organization supports.

Using a hand-drawn illustration style, we revised and modernized their beloved hand symbol. Through the subtle emphasis of the letters M and Y, we created a graphic way to reinforce their position as the voice of their community.
"A LINE did a fantastic job of working in a challenging space with a passionate, engaged, and vocal community. They helped us clearly identify the future direction of Myotonic by developing a positive, differentiated and inspiring brand that has galvanized our community."
