Loco for logo walls

You've worked hard at your veterinary practice to build word-of-mouth and a good reputation in the community. So, once pet owners walk through the door, you're done branding and explaining why your practice is so special, right? No way. Time for the wall.

A logo wall puts to work that unused space behind your reception desk-or an empty wall of the waiting area.

You can even take it a step further, like some Veterinary Economics Hospital Design Competition Merit Award winners did. John Talmadge, DVM, of Bigger Road Veterinary Center in Springboro, Ohio, included the practice's mission statement in addition to their logo. Not only does it look good, but Dr. Talmadge says it really sums up the passion the entire team has for your practice in one easy-and eye-catching-phrase.

“I can take 45 minutes to tell you everything about this clinic, but the reality is that we don't have that long to talk to everyone,” Talmadge says. “So when you have a little sound bite, those are the things that people start to remember, and if you do it right it communicates what you're all about.”
