Fragmented, sometimes complex to the edge of chaos, and layered with complex typography, many Dumbar projects in the early 1980s caused consternation among advocates of a more ordered aesthetic. But by the late 1980s many European designers were mimicking Studio Dumbar’s approach, causing Gert Dumbar to place a moratorium on these techniques within his firm. Contents: Gert Dumbar: Curriculum Vitate Studio Dumbar Interview with Eric Nuyten and Michel de Boer PTT: The national Dutch Post and Telecom company Postzegels Holland Festival Rijksmuseum Amsterdam Zeebelt Theater Den Haag Studio Dumbar is a highly influential Dutch graphic design agency whose work has helped shape, not only Dutch, but international design for over four decades. Studio Dumbar was founded in the Hague by Gert Dumbar in 1977. In 2003, the studio moved to Rotterdam, as Michel de Boer took over the creative direction, after Gert Dumbar’s retirement. Studio Dumbar describes itself as “an international branding agency specialised in visual identity and communication design” meaning that it creates every visible expression of a brand or organisation — offline and online. Its international scope is reflected in its team, with an average of seven nationalities in Rotterdam. Dumbar studied painting and graphic design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the Hague. He earned his postgraduate degree in graphic design at the Royal College of Art in London. He founded his own firm, Studio Dumbar, in 1977, creating many iconic corporate identity systems for clients such as the Dutch Postal and Telecom Services, Dutch Railways, Dutch Police, the Danish Post and Czech Telecom. In 1987-1988, Gert became the president of the British Designers and Art Directors Association, he was a member of the Designboard of the British Rail Company until 1994. Studio Dumbar’s work is widely acclaimed, earning two golden pencils at D&AD, the first studio ever to do so. He has lectured at the Royal College of Art in London, where he is a visiting professor, the University at Bandung, Indonesia, and at the ochschule der Bildenden Künste Saar in Saarbrücken, Germany. Currently he is teaching at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the Hague. Gert is a member of AGI.
