Ghent University consists of many departments. Those components always communicated using their own identity. We developed a clear brand strategy and identity to give the university a strong international position. Each of the 11 faculties got their own icon and colour, whilst they clearly form visual family. All other parts of the university communicate out of the mother brand.

Isabella Gardner was a remarkable woman with a daring vision. After decades of traveling she carefully installed her eclectic collection according to her personal aesthetic and rationale. Visiting her palace is like wandering through the mind of Isabella. This is exactly what we emphasized when we designed the new website.
The site is brand and content driven, as part of the visitor journey. An inviting 45 second trailer movie tells first time visitors who Isabella was, and what the museum offers. We created 8 immersive stories about Isabella, her collection and museum.
An online visit is ‘inviting’, ‘sensuous’ and a ‘little daring’. Just like Isabella.

9292 has been providing total 'door-to-door' travel advice for more than 20 years now. Fabrique freshened up the 9292 brand in 2011, with a new identity and website. The apps developed are seamlessly in line with the new identity.
We stripped the old app back until we only retained those features which you really need.
As 9292 wants to understand you, we developed a specific app for Windows Phone, Apple iOS and Android. These native apps fully comply with all the design principles of the various platforms, and offer a coherent experience between all the various resources.
Thanks to the direct link with 'Mijn 9292', you can access all the travel advice you have requested anywhere you need it. Now 9292 really keeps you company on your journey.

The Netherlands Film Commission will be making extra efforts to interest foreign film producers in the Netherlands. Filming in the Netherlands offers a range of advantages, including the incentive scheme: foreign producers are refunded 30% of their investments in the Netherlands.
Our copy concept ‘Take the Netherlands’ formed the starting point for a website and the campaign to launch the incentive scheme. The word 'Take' in the logo is shaped like a film clapper, as an extra tip of the hat to the film world.

The new Dutch Youth Care Act came into force on 1 January 2015. Youth care is now wholly the responsibility of the municipal councils. We developed a new positioning, name and visual identity for the continuation of Bureau Jeugdzorg Stadsregio Rotterdam (Rotterdam Urban Region Youth Care Bureau).
The rights of the child formed the basis for the positioning. We redefined the core values as reliable, responsible, connective and inventive. To a new, functional name, we added an emotional descriptor: Jeugdbescherming Rotterdam Rijnmond (Rotterdam Rijnmond Youth Protection Service), for the child.

The theme “Share, Grow, Live” represents the Dutch culture and its food-industry from research and production to distribution and consumption. The pavilion has an open setup with a total size of 20x120 m. It has a very central position on the Expo site, with the Italian, French and Vatican pavilions as immediate neighbours.
The Holland Pavilion is a reflection of the festivals that have evolved into a tradition in Holland over the last decade. Instead of a more ‘traditional’ Expo pavilion-setup (grand architectural structures), the scenography focuses on creating an experience by evoking individual curiosity with a feeling of enjoyment.
The Kunsthal Rotterdam has been a pioneer in the museum world since 1992, by offering an accessible and diverse exhibition program. Not having its own collection, the Kunsthal has developed an accessible way to attract a broad, fresh audience. In 2015 we developed the new Kunsthal website.
The timeline on the homepage forms the core of the website. It shows not only what’s on now and in the future, but also offers a chronological overview of almost 25 years of remarkable exhibitions. Turns out, the 'museum without its own collection' does have a 'collection'.
