Meaning and history
1994 – 2004
The badge, created for the Aspen Dental company in 1994, featured a very smooth and elegant composition with the dark-green shadowed lettering placed on a background with a muted green image of a tree. The inscription was set in two leveled with the “Aspen” part enlarged, and being underlined by the lowercase “Dental Care”. The lettering was enclosed into a green frame in shape of an open ring.
2004 – 2006
The very first Aspen Dental logo was created in 1994 and stayed with the company for a decade. It was a stylized lettering, set in one line, with the emboldened blue “Aspen” followed by a lightweight slanted “Dental” in black capitals. The “A” in the “Aspen” was stylized, having its upper part drawn like a mountain with a snowy peak.
2006 – Today
The Aspen Dental visual identity is sterile and evoking a sense of security and confidence. The logo is composed of a wordmark with an emblem that is usually placed above it.
The wordmark consists of two different styles — the bold rounded lettering of “Aspen” and a fine strict “Dental”. Both parts of the nameplate use the sans-serif typeface.

Font and color

The closest fonts to the one, used for the Aspen Dental insignia are, probably, Neue Frutiger Thai Traditional and Meutas Semi ahold, but with the first capital “A” stylized and its peak elongated.
As for the color palette of Aspen Dental’s visual identity, it is based on a fresh and cold combination of blue and white, which represents the background of the company, and at the same time perfectly reflects its purpose, evoking a sense of professionalism, sterility, and safety.
