Amsterdam Logo for CitID

typografie, logo, CitID, Amsterdam, illustratie, Enkeling, 2010

This is a logo I made for the CitID project by Norwegian Ink. Artists from over the world were asked to represent their hometown. I decided not to adapt to the usual practical rules for a logo, but just go all out, usability be damned.
I made my logo in two layers, the underlaying layer is made out of Amsterdam landmarks and other assorted Amsterdam-related parts.

Last friday I spent at the Business Event 2009 in the Caballero Fabriek in The Hague. New company UNIT 070’s Petra van der Kwartel and Armijn Woudman asked me to customize ties for the occasion.
It also marked the first time I wore a tie since that thin fake leather thingie with the rubber band I had for a very short time when I was ten.
