new clients

not so long ago, we made a conscious decision not to take part in pitches where creative worked is requested for free, a wise choice it seems… a decision partly fuelled by a frustration in dealing with clients who misunderstand the rules of pitching but also partly due to a frustrating tendency in the past six years of never actually winning one…

well it seems that the times have indeed changed somewhat: after winning a pitch in the summer last year (the amsterdam music theater) we are proud to announce that we have also recently won the commission to redesign the complete identity for amsterdam nightclub ‘the sugar factory’ (plus several small sub-identities for specific club evenings), secondly we have just won a pitch to produce the identity and campaign for a small arab film festival in amsterdam called ‘cinema arabe’ and as i write this news has just come in about a third new client, more news (and plenty of new work) soon…

by the way i am urgently looking for someone to help me with arab text, if anybody can write in arabic or knows someone who can i would love to hear from you

mit

…the new visual identity of the MIT Media Lab is inspired by the community it comprises: Highly creative people from all kinds of backgrounds come together, inspire each other and collaboratively develop a vision of the future.
This unique offering of the MIT Media Lab is reflected in the logo design. Each of the three shapes stands for one individual’s contribution, the resulting shape represents the outcome of this process: A constant redefinition of what media and technology means today. The logo is based on a visual system, an algorithm that produces a unique logo for each person, for faculty, staff and students. Each person can claim and own an individual shape and can use it on their business card a personal website. The design encompasses all collateral, business cards, letterhead, website, animations, signage etc. A custom web interface was developed to allow each person at the Media Lab to choose and claim an own individual logo for his/her business card, as well as a custom animation software which allows to create custom animations for any video content the lab produces…

a new flexible identity for the renowned MIT designed by the curiously named the green eyl (via ‘fontanel’)
