WHO’s Better, WHO’s Best?

A few years ago Drawnalism covered an event for the World Health Organization on the subject of Universal Health Coverage.

Here's a video created after the event by the UHC Partnership, which also features our work.

Me and my Umbrella

On the back of that project, the WHO used one piece of artwork from the event - a global umbrella sheltering many people - to symbolise Universal Health Coverage as the logo for their UHC campaign. Later in the year, we worked with them again to develop this into a design for a small folding umbrella to give away at future events.

Fast forward to 2019: The Sixth Annual WHO UHC event was held in Geneva over two days, and Drawnalism once again drew for this event - and the logo I had drawn two years earlier was everywhere! On large standees, on pin-buttons, and on the screen.

Here’s a few pictures from the event:

Me and my bigger umbrella!

At the event, I was also informed that they were creating a new umbrella, using the same design but this time for a larger, golf-sized umbrella!

More recently, the WHO returned to us to refresh the logo - mainly to make the original design a little more inclusive and in keeping with the design used for the umbrellas. This is the result:

You can now see it below, and in their Twitter account!
