Dutch based Studio Dumbar is specialised in visual branding and attracting talented individuals from around the world. Their portfolio is equally diverse, encompassing work for a variety of clients both large and small – from business and governmental agencies to cultural and non-profit. They create meaningful brands, going from strategy all the way to reality. Pure. Simple. Powerful. A massively creative force we were pleased to have on our stage at Blend 2019!
This international agency with a Dutch heritage was founded by Gert Dumbar in 1977. Projects span from the Dutch Police visual identity to the Amsterdam Sinfonietta poster series. They have collaborated with the non-profit organisation Alzheimer Nederland, created the visual identity for the Royal Cabinet of Paintings Mauritshuis as well as facilitating the complete rebranding of the airline Transavia.
Since 2016 Studio Dumbar is part of Dept, an international digital network. Dept brings together the best agencies in creativity, technology and data.
