In veel projecten heb ik samengewerkt met copywriter Gerard Challa van Tij Communicatie. Toen hij in 2000 voor zichzelf begon, als communicatie bureau in Castricum aan zee, vroeg hij mij om een logo te maken. Ik ontwierp ene modern typografisch woordmerk voor hem, wat doet denken aan geschilderde of gelaste letters op schepen. Daarnaast ontwikelde ik een beeld motief van horizontale strepen\u2026\u00a0wat refereert naar het (zee)landschap, en zowel gelaagdheid communiceert als een digitaal karakter heeft. Met deze elementen zijn alle soorten media en formaten op een consistente manier te branden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
