Natuur & Milieu, in collaboration with CE Delft, offers tangible insight into an organisation’s sustainability when it comes to mobility (for example, CO2 emissions). Organisations can participate in an online survey, and then receive a report via email.
Together with Natuur & Milieu and CE Delft, we created an overview/infographic of the process, so that participants can clearly see the steps they need to take, and what they can expect from Natuur & Milieu in return.
The report, complete with the organisation’s accomplishments, clear graphics, explanations and suggestions, is still in development. We’ll show a sample report here very soon!

De Koekfabriek is a small and special place in the heart of Utrecht, Arnhem, Breda & Babberich. They sell delicious cookies with good coffee.
In the bakery, people with mental disabilities bake the cookies. Through the Koekfabriek, they have a job that they love and are in the midst of society.
We created a warm and welcoming identity that matches their great concept. The quarter-circle symbolises a subsection of society, and the idea of making a small contribution to it. The visual identity includes packaging, signage, flyers, wall paintings, discount cards and window- and vehicle decal graphics.

Familie van Rijk (Family van Rijk) is a boutique food store. Here, you can buy your everyday lunch items, but also the finest local food delicacies around. The founders Ray and IJk wanted to open a shop in which everyone feels welcome and wants to be part of the 'Van Rijk Family’. We designed a matching dynamic identity for them. With their own family crest and a line system that lets them connect everything that is important. They can even create a family tree.

SVRZ has a mission. They want to care for – and take care of – their clients. And they wanted to clearly explain how they will do it.

DWARS is a political organisation for and by youth who are concerned about society and the environment.
We developed an identity with own its unique fonts and imagery, so that they can create and design their own promotional and action material, for example. Both fonts have the same spacing, so the icons and letters fit exactly underneath each other. This way, every expression has a certain kind of rhythm.

In the publication ‘Waarde voor Utrecht’ (value for Utrecht) 11 museums in town worked together to formulate their contribution to the cultural impact of the city. Not only to attract visitors to Utrecht, they also have a positive influence on the economic and social - cultural growth. And they want to expand this in the future to have even more impact. Subsoda developed an online and offline publication to spread the word about this important message.

APRIL 11, 1689:
Shortly after the Dutch King William III (better known as William of Orange) was proclaimed King Of England, Ireland and Scotland, he made gin. Gin is a traditionally Dutch drink, but popular with the British people.
Gin 1689 is a gin that fuses English and Dutch culture together, produced by one of Holland’s oldest distillers and based on a 350 year old recipe.
In 2019 the Queen Mary Edition was launched. This pink gin by 1689 is named after the wife of King William of Orange the Third.

We were asked to design the identity and promotion material.
Lokaal Victoria is glad to serve visitors and make them happy with good food and drinks. Their identity revolves around the idea of being 'as proud as a peacock'.
For the restaurant, we made the identity, website, menus, stickers, (fair trade) sugar bags, coasters, embroideries for their work-wear, and more…
At Kookmeesters, it's all about the creativity and mastery of cooking. You can take a master class, follow a workshop, combine culinary with a business meeting or throw an amazing party with the tastiest drinks and bites.
For all the different atmospheres and events you can experience at Kookmeesters, we created and combined a bunch of different colour schemes and illustrations.
We designed their website too!
Sweet Things made cakes and pies for your wedding, birthday or any other occasion that required excellent cake! We developed playful patterns with lively colours to visualise their sweet and happy work. Unfortunately, all the delightfulness they created has gone away, as the shop recently closed its doors.
"Where drinks and food are involved, there is always a story to tell. Combining our passion for gastronomy with our love for filmmaking, we take pride in creating films that connect people that share our interests." - Tasty Tales
Tasty Tales’ identity is inspired by the purity of the wine fieldworkers and framing, where their journey started. Besides the identity, we developed the leader package for the Tasty Tales filmmakers, together with motion designer Ton Mikkers.

For years, they’ve been hidden among the thousands of bikes in the Smakkelaarsveld: artist David van de Kop’s series of large sculptures. What a shame! But they will be hidden no more, thanks to an audio tour narrated by Mayor Jan van Zanen. You can download the free audio tour on the website of initiator Bureau Nada. Learn more about the past, present and future of these sculptures and the area around the station.
subsoda created iconography of the sculptures, and signage and information boards for the Smakkelaarsveld.
The municipality of Hilversum invited five artists to design artwork that honoured famous architect W.M. Dudok. The works would be brought to life in the central Market Square. To get the public involved, the city invited people to vote for their favourite design. In addition to these invitations, we designed panels for the exhibition in the beautiful Hilversum City Hall, one of Dudok’s most important works.
For Utrecht University Museum, we developed the graphic elements for their exhibition ‘Fluid Matter’. The artwork in the exhibit meets at the intersection between art and bioscience.
We used a variety of gradient colours in the design, and gave each panel a slightly different background, to give the visual identity a fluid character.
In addition to the poster and panels, we developed a route with questions, in order to engage a younger audience in the exhibition, and make the artwork more accessible to them. We also developed a special icon for each artwork, to make the work easier to recognise. Visitors could also use the icons on their ballots to vote for their favourite piece.
