Challenge
Cura, envisioned as the first truly comprehensive wellness center of its kind in Egypt and the Middle East, came to Recollect Studios at a critical early stage—with a powerful idea but no defined identity. The challenge was to transform a concept into a compelling, market-ready brand that would resonate with both local and international audiences.
The challenge was multifaceted: to articulate a groundbreaking brand strategy that would position Cura as a pioneer in holistic well-being, encompassing psychological, social, physical, spiritual, and medical dimensions. As a novel concept, Cura required a brand identity that could resonate with a sophisticated audience, foster trust, and differentiate itself in a region where wellness culture was still emerging. Recollect Studios was tasked with shaping this vision into a cohesive, market-ready brand from the ground up.
Solution
Recollect Studios embraced Cura’s vision with strategic rigor and innovative flair. We began by crafting a comprehensive brand strategy that defined Cura’s mission to revolutionize wellness through personalised, interconnected care. Our team coined the name “Cura,” derived from “cure,” for its profound resonance and playful, approachable tone. To foster community engagement, we introduced the innovative “hubs” concept, enabling clients to remain connected to Cura’s ecosystem within their local areas, enhancing accessibility and loyalty.
The brand identity was anchored by the Lotus flower, a symbol deeply tied to ancient Egyptian culture, representing purity, rebirth, and the multifaceted human aspects Cura nurtures. A soothing palette of Tiffany-inspired blues and soft whites was selected to evoke calmness, purity, and trust, harmonising with the brand’s wellness ethos.
We designed a captivating UI for Cura’s website, seamlessly aligning with the brand’s serene yet sophisticated character. As a leading branding and digital marketing agency, we provided strategic guidance for digital campaigns, ensuring Cura’s launch would captivate and inspire. The brand guidelines and visual system ensured consistency, positioning Cura as a beacon of holistic care and innovation.
Concept
Cura’s brand concept, “Blossoming into Balance,” encapsulates its mission to guide clients on a transformative wellness journey. As the best branding agency in Egypt, Recollect Studios crafted a narrative that positions Cura as a sanctuary where every facet of well-being—psychological, social, physical, spiritual, and medical—is nurtured with precision and empathy.
The Lotus flower, with its petals symbolising the interconnected aspects of human health, serves as a powerful metaphor for Cura’s holistic approach. This concept, rooted in Egypt’s cultural heritage, resonates universally, inviting clients to embrace a balanced, enriched life. Our brand strategy in Egypt and the Middle East establishes Cura as a lifestyle, not merely a service, fostering deep connections through its innovative hubs and personalized care.
Visual Identity
Cura’s visual identity is a harmonious blend of elegance and tranquility, meticulously crafted by Recollect Studios, renowned for its expertise in brand design. The Lotus flower icon, rendered with graceful, minimalist lines, embodies renewal and balance, serving as a versatile emblem across all touchpoints.
The color palette, dominated by Tiffany-inspired blues, evokes serenity and trust, complemented by soft whites and subtle gold accents to convey purity and sophistication. Typography was chosen for its clean, modern aesthetic, ensuring clarity and refinement in both Arabic and English applications. The visual system, applied across print, digital, and environmental assets, reinforces Cura’s identity as a pioneering wellness brand, setting a new standard for rebranding in the region.

The Lotus icon imbues the brand with a sense of timeless wisdom and renewal, positioning Cura as a trusted guide in wellness.

This character permeates every interaction, from the website’s intuitive UI to the hubs’ community initiatives, ensuring Cura feels both aspirational and inclusive. The brand embodies a promise of holistic empowerment, redefining wellness with grace and intention.
