With the new design, we …


• kept the natural color coding of green & while.
• developed an EBU stressing the naturalness with the
“leaf shaped” background, but kept the Iberogast font.
• kept the Iberogast stomach icon.
• strengthened the “9 herb treatment” message.
• kept the list of symptoms.
• visually included the format via the drop icon, which is
helping us in the future to differentiate from potential
other galenics.
