Bold, minimal-leaning graphic design from hot new studio Vrints-Kolsteren

Date
24 May 2016

After four years at prestigious Dutch agency Studio Dumbar, Vincent Vrints decided to branch out, pair up with Naomi Kolsteren and form identity, photography and art direction studio Vrints-Kolsteren. Already the pair has racked up some superb projects, creating a portfolio united by bold use of typography and a minimal aesthetic that makes for impactful pieces for a range of clients.

In an identity for Antwerp-based multidisciplinary festival Over Tijd, a colour palette of brooding grey tones and black work with a range of abstract shapes and capped up type to give a feeling of hypercool academia. Using a similarly minimal approach, the pair has also created the identity for Sint Lucas Antwerp’s Graduation Show, which uses imagery of the nuts and bolts that make up hanging a show in flashes of colour to add visual flourishes.
