PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: It goes without saying that the set of resources complies with all the most sustainable guidelines. FSC certified, but also digital applications instead of paper. An organization that is so strongly represented in the daily lives of many tenants should set a good example in this.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Each application in the identity is given a unique set of circles. Made possible by a balanced basic design with more than 250 circles in different compositions and colors, the media are printed on FSC HVO paper in 6 Pantone colors plus Black.
