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…

Best Block Calender Ever: “De Scheurkalender”

scheurkalender by sanne-bloem illustrations by ellen vesters illustrator graphic designer

 

Last week I got me-self the good ol’ Block Calender (“de Scheurkalender”) I participated in.

I swear, everything that comes out of Sanne Bloem’s hands just oozes authenticity.

 

Sanne can be called many things.

First of all you should learn Dutch, just to be able to pronounce her name:

“Sanne Bloem”

(meaning “Sanne Flower” – pronouncing it North European style; ouch, so hot it hurts)

 

Sanne Bloem is the Dutch queen of handmade.

Sanne Bloem is the princess of mastering the art of doing what you love.

Sanne Bloem is the maiden of having too many jobs to count on TWO hands.

 

But. What I like most about Sanne is that she isn’t about polishing, she is about rough edges, being real.

 

All this makes for the Best Block Calender. Ever.

 

You can buy your – Dutch – copy of the Block Calender (“de Scheurkalender”) here.
(and I know a month has passed by already. but do we ever do things the way people say we should? nope…)
