Bisqit go Dutch

Posted 1 June 2011

A lucky few from Bisqit managed to pop out of the studio on a lovely sunny morning to check out the fantastic 'Wim Crouwel — A Graphic Odyssey' exhibition at the Design Museum. Crouwel is arguably most famous for the space age designs he created in the 60's, with his typography making a comeback in the late 80's and 90's, seen on album covers and club posters galore.

I personally found great delight in some of his later work, the first corporate identities created by Crouwel and his colleagues at Total Design. Identity systems for companies such as Makro and Randstad that Total Design created nearly 40 years ago still remain untouched today. Loving this shot of the members of the Total Design group, 1982, you know these guys mean business. 

Strictly no snaps allowed inside the exhibition so you can't see any exciting pictures of Bisqit purring over Crouwel's and Total Design's awesome back catalogue. We did still need evidence that we had left the studio so we got a shot of these ancient coke guidelines at the small coke promo pop up outside the gallery!
