ATHENS, Ohio – Diagnostic HYBRIDS, Inc., a bioscience company that
provides cellular and molecular diagnostic kits and biochemical
reagents to companies worldwide, unveiled to employees today its new
corporate identity package.
The identity builds on the established and trusted brand
recognition associated with Diagnostic HYBRIDS since it was founded in
1983 as an Ohio University start-up. Healthcare providers in the United
States, Canada, Europe, Korea and China depend on the results from
Diagnostic Hybrids’ accurate, rapid and cost-effective tests for proper
diagnoses of a wide range of viral diseases.
“Our new theme, ‘Integrating Science and Humanity,’ aptly
encompasses the philosophy of Diagnostic Hybrids,” said David Scholl,
president and CEO. “Bioscience is a dynamic industry, and our products
will continue to grow and evolve as biotechnology and clinical science
dictates. The new identity builds on our strong reputation for
innovation and service and fits very well with our broadened
expectation of accelerated growth along dual paths.”
The logo, which visually merges humanity with DNA and monoclonal
antibody technology, creates a personality with a contemporary, global
image that mirrors the company’s growing business prowess reflected in
the achievement of repeat Inc. 500 Magazine listings for 2004 and 2005.
The final identity establishes an emotional link with all stakeholders
and is driven in the design by the hybridization of the human spirit
with innovative and proprietary cell biology and molecular diagnostic
tools.
The strong positioning theme, “Integrating Science and Humanity,”
demonstrates the company’s noble cause and profound, global effect it
has on society and humankind. It also refers to the talented employees
of Diagnostic HYBRIDS, who explore, create, produce and distribute
world-class products for the global marketplace from the rural, scenic
Appalachian foothills of Athens, Ohio.
“Our employees take great pride in knowing their collective skills
and talents directly impact people’s current and future well-being,”
Scholl said. “Ultimately, every single individual at Diagnostic Hybrids
strives to improve the health of people around the world. Our new
corporate identity celebrates all of our core values and personifies
Diagnostic HYBRIDS and its employees as optimistic, innovative, robust,
customer-focused and looking forward to a bright future.”
Paul Werth Associates, a Columbus-based public relations,
marketing and advertising firm, developed the corporate identity
package. In addition, Paul Werth created corporate recruitment
materials and other marketing pieces that tell the story of Diagnostic
HYBRIDS.
