DUTCH CLOJURE DAYS 2019 CONFERENCE BRAND IDENTITY
The Challenge
The main challenge was to look back on the branding I developed and updated in 2016-2018 and make a right strategic decision the direction of further brand evolution.
Free and non-profit Clojure conference organised by the community, for the community with a full day of amazing talks in a friendly welcoming atmosphere. It takes place annually in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Pre-press
Dutch Clojure Days needed rebranding that would set it apart and convey professional and welcoming message to the passionate Clojure community.
Logotype
I decided to draw inspiration from the company name with the emphasis on Dutch and Clojure programming language (it's symbol is lambda). Circular shapes elicit the feeling of unity and strength.
An alternative mark was also developed for social media avatars where full logo won't fit.
Colour
Color orange has royal roots in the Netherlands, now it symbolizes a broader pride in the country and in being Dutch. It's known as Oranjegekte – Orange craze.
Website
The website needs to display the new brand elements while ensuring written content is the main focus.
Sponsorship Prospectus
The event is free and getting sponsors onboard is crucial. Prospectus is simple, concise and can be printed.
Brochure
A5 format is small enough to be folded and put into your pocket during the event, but has enough space to display all information concisely.
Roll Up Banner and T-shirt

Illustration
Adding more personality to the brand based in a beautiful city of Amsterdam posed a unique challenge: to capture both the charm of the location and modern tech nature of the conference.
