== History ==
The publication was founded in 1989, around 14 years after the College of Medicine was established. Over the decades, Vital Signs has continuously evolved; exploring various channels and media as well as writing articles in many languages including [[English language|English]], [[Filipino language|Filipino]], [[Hiligaynon language|Hiligaynon]], and [[Kinaray-a]].

=== Logo ===
The earliest version of the logo was launched in 2015. It depicts the [[Rod of Asclepius]] with a shield containing [[Panay|Panay Island]] in the background. It is encircled by a green border which contains the school and publication name.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Log in or sign up to view |url=https://www.facebook.com/share/RxDS3W4N438t7Xj7/?mibextid=xfxF2i |access-date=2024-06-25 |website=www.facebook.com |language=en}}</ref>

In 2017, the logo underwent re-branding. Minor revisions were made such as replacing the shield with some lines and adding a [[laurel wreath]] at the bottom of the logo. The rod was also swapped for a [[fountain pen]] to symbolize journalism in medicine.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Log in or sign up to view |url=https://www.facebook.com/share/EJu5dTxC2uZNvHnd/?mibextid=xfxF2i |access-date=2024-06-25 |website=www.facebook.com |language=en}}</ref>

The logo was once again revised in 2023, with the laurel wreath almost encircling the logo. The linework was also removed. Part of [[Negros|Negros Island]], specifically [[Negros Occidental]], was also included to symbolize the [[Western Visayas]] Region where the publication is based.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Log in or sign up to view |url=https://www.facebook.com/share/wtgXyXCiCHX1iV4d/?mibextid=xfxF2i |access-date=2024-06-25 |website=www.facebook.com |language=en}}</ref>

More recently, Vital Signs re-branded itself in the first quarter of 2024. This entailed a logo change which was more drastic than the previous ones. The current logo is more [[Minimalism|minimalist]], retaining only the element of the Rod of Asclepius. A fountain pen was still put in place of the rod, and the snake element coils around it in the shape of a heart.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Log in or sign up to view |url=https://www.facebook.com/share/xBvirexzbbPtXGXb/?mibextid=xfxF2i |access-date=2024-06-25 |website=www.facebook.com |language=en}}</ref>

=== Vision ===
Vital Signs aims to unite all members of the West Visayas State University - College of Medicine community by fulfilling the need to be informed, providing productive change through knowledge, expression, and dialogue in and inside WVSU College of Medicine.

=== Mission ===
Vital Signs shall uphold moral character and personal discipline through free and responsive journalism. It shall foster an environment of intellectual discourse and exchange, producing doctors who are writers.
