Case study · Brand identity

Fifty years of care, one new name.

Righellis and Associates became Hillside View Orthodontics: a strategic rebrand that kept half a century of trust and gave Dr. Ikeda's Oakland practice a name, a look and a story of its own.

The ask

“My orthodontic practice Hillside View Orthodontics needed a new logo and a rebrand.”

Renie Ikeda, D.D.S., MS, Hillside View Orthodontics

What we did

We built the story around the two orthodontists, Dr. Ikeda and Dr. Righellis, and the care patients already knew, then carried the new name everywhere a patient meets it: the mark and color family, the website, the sign on the building, a brand video and photography.

Behind the scenes

How we got there.

440 team working in the studio
  1. 01

    Listen

    Interviews with Dr. Ikeda and the team: what patients value, and what the transition must protect.

  2. 02

    Create

    Name, mark and color family, with a narrative built on the relationship between the practice's orthodontists.

  3. 03

    Refine

    The website, collateral and outdoor signage on one system; video and photography put faces to it.

  4. 04

    Launch

    The practice reopened as Hillside View Orthodontics by Ikeda + Righellis, the founders' names kept in the lockup.

The result

What changed.

“440 Creates is a talented team that really gets in there to understand your business and your goals. They are professional, experienced, and easy to communicate with. ... My brand now represents my practice, and I couldn't be happier with the results!”

Renie Ikeda, D.D.S., MS, Hillside View Orthodontics
