In 2025, Island Health refreshed its brand tools to support more accessible and consistent communication environments.
The refreshed brand tools make information easier to access, understand and use, while helping people recognize and connect with Island Health services. They include a more accessible and responsive logo system, an expanded colour system built for strong contrast and colour vision differences, and typography that supports readability and accurate Indigenous language characters.
Together, these updates help us create materials that are accessible and inclusive.

Island Health’s logo helps people recognize our programs, services and communications. To keep that recognition clear and consistent, use the logo only on materials created by Island Health or developed in partnership with Island Health.
If you are an Island Health staff member, access the Brand Standards for logo files, brand tools and direction on how to use them.
External partners, vendors, media and community organizations should work with their Island Health contact to request the correct logo files and usage guidance. Do not copy, download or reuse the logo from this website or from existing Island Health materials.
The Island Health logo may not be reproduced, edited or redistributed without written permission from Island Health.
Cultural Safety logo
Island Health’s Cultural Safety logo, created by Ray MacGuire and Dale Letourneau in 2011, depicts the elements of a culturally safe environment for clients and families.
The two hands signify a welcoming place of care, while the eagle feathers symbolize the importance of providing care that honours and respects the whole person. The hands hold up a heart, signifying the importance of providing health care with an open heart and open mind. The center of the heart is a circle representing the person at the heart of receiving care.
The Orca whale tails surrounding the person remind us of the importance of family and the three distinct First Nations of Vancouver Island. The infinity symbol at the base of the heart acknowledges the Metis Nation.
Together, these symbols signify the inclusiveness of all cultures and the right of people to receive health and care services that are culturally safe.
