Logo design gone completely nuts

It’s always so much fun to develop a logo for another entrepreneur.

And, when this entrepreneur – in this case a copywriter – has given her business the name ‘Compleet getikt‘, which means completely nuts, you can be assured that working together is nothing more than a party!

 

Best part of it all:
Mrs Completely Nuts insisted on buying two logo’s instead of opting for one.
I tried to explain to her that the fact that she couldn’t choose probably meant we weren’t there yet. That we had some more tweaking to do.
Her answer: You…? Afraid of sacrilege?
What a woman…

Girl crush: Marloes de Vries

One hundred and fifty kilometers out and one hundred and fifty kilometers back (including Dutch public transport…) to visit a colleague’s exhibition and it was well worth it. Usually I really dislike Sundays, but Marloes made it a fun one.

 

In between giggles we took a moment of silence to enjoy the sincerity and delicate nature of her art.
It was really special to get such a different perspective on a fellow artist (Marloes says this is the most personal work she has ever made).

 

You can check out her artwork at the CBK Emmen until the 21st of April.
If you can’t make it there, be sure to check out her daily doodles at http://marloesdevries.tumblr.com/.
