branding change

…we are witnessing the rise of a new generation of social entrepreneurs across the world, who are building businesses with positive social and/or environmental impact, seeking to create a better future for all of us. For these businesses to reach their true potential, they need to communicate clearly who they are, what they do, and why that matters…

toolkit_for_change

busy lady and serial ‘do-gooder’ anne miltenburg has launched a new kickstarter campaign to help finance her branding toolkit for changemakers

the project has passed the 50% mark but could do with your support, time to do some good?

ddw_poster15

spotted around town: a poster for the 2015 dutch design week event, the design has (most probably unintentionally) to my mind, a very mid-90’s retro design feel to it… it looks like the kind of work that being made by such groups as ’emigrĂ©’ and ‘8vo’ way back then (no idea who made it)

update: jeroen van erp just contacted me to say the poster and accompanying website were created by fabrique
