For the Lokerse Feesten festival we went completely nuts and created a swingin’ rock ‘n roll fantasy fair online. A little vintage, a lot of guts and some red velvet make this website an appropriate environment to host big fish such as the Sex Pistols, Sonic Youth and Massive Attack.
Under the watchful eye of host Villanella, 200 young artists were invited to give the centre of Antwerp a temporary new face. We were invited to give this two day event an online face. Young people making nice things wasn’t just the event’s baseline, but also our mission. We cut and sewed together a Villanella-worthy patchworksite, serving as an online programmation guide and a roadmap both to the arty participants and thousands of talent-tourists.

For an advertisement in P-magazine -promoting their new single- we came up with a cut-out cd package design. P-readers could download the single online, and then wrap it in their very own Paranoiacs cover, thanks to our witty designers.
In a CSI-like mission to solve the mistery of a 17th century girl’s corpse, found underneath the foundations of Antwerp, our very own Sherlock puzzled together some unusual suspects, dusty pieces of evidence and medieval imagery to communicate a morbid exhibition in the Rockoxhuis. Or as we say: “Ooggetuigen aan de Schelde. Wetenschappers lossen 17e-eeuws mysterie op”.
For the launch of Alaska (aka The Accountants Formerly Known as Fidulemco), we designed a gorgeous personalized passport to guide all VIP-invitees past the Alaska customs and towards the super-cool launch event. Now, there’s an invitation you couldn’ possibly RSVP “no” to!

To communicate the Villanella Gamezone event, we took a trip down gamemory lane: the immortal Pacman was cast for the leading part, along with a population of old-style pixel extras. Some cheerful company for the targeted gameboys and girls who assailed deSingel that day.
After designing all kinds of cool stuff for others, we were convinced that we needed to redesign ourselves a little bit. Hence this new website, and our very wanted new business cards… They WILL become collector’s items, we know that much!
In their struggle for a better planet, BASE called us -who else?!- for help. We gave them Jack. This cutesy creature was born from our designers’ brains with the mission to save the world, operating as a true green knight from his very own minisite. His virtual forest houses information on BASE’s environment saving activities and stimulates visitors to take part in their great, green mission. Plenty of birds and plants have been rescued ever since.

Providing high quality services in insurances and investments, Kobelco is quite an intelligent company. Which evidently requires an equally intelligent corporate identity. Which again requires an extremely intelligent design agency, that’s right. We made those Kobelco guys look good wherever they needed to: on their business cards, their very own magazine, their conference invitations and other printwork.
Props, antiques, decoration, chandeliers,… Sprookjes has it, can find it and can make it. For the website however, they relied on us. We made it a twirling, eye candy-ish “once upon a time” kind of experience site. No monsters or chandeliers were hurt during this production, and they all live happily ever after.
