Committed to Care!ENA has a new logo (top of page) and tag line! The logo is one of, if not the most important element within a brand system. It’s designed to act as the face of a brand and represent its essence and overall aesthetic. Oftentimes, the logo is the first experience a viewer has with an organization’s brand. So, it is imperative that it be legible, conceptually strong and captures the spirit of what the brand is all about. The ENA logo does this with a bold, energetic presence driven by the large letterforms. The logo deservingly places the emphasis on the “N” found in the middle, negative space. Symbolically, it creates a mental link of envisioning oneself filling that space, fitting into ENA. Whether it’s through education or advocacy, ENA genuinely cares about the members’ safety and preparation when in the emergency department. Additionally, “Committed to Care” is something that’s deeply embedded within the emergency nursing profession as a whole.
