In the House of Connections on the Grote Markt, the icons of Schools for Science and Society at the University of Groningen are displayed on vibrant LED screens. But this presentation is more than just a visual treat. It is a dynamic experience, where the screens and icons can adapt to the topic, the sender, the organizer or even the current events of the moment. It is an invitation for dialogue, an opportunity for the schools to engage with their partners and the general public. While in conversation with the technical expert responsible for this spectacle, the final details are discussed – small adjustments needed to make everything run perfectly. And then. then we can already see the first animations before us, ready to capture the audience’s imagination and start the dialogue. Also see House of Connections

Nynke called. Whether we wanted to take part in the Hanze University of Applied Sciences’ company tour. Goal – to introduce students from the Communication & Multimedia Design course to our work.

It turned into a great conversation with lots of examples and anecdotes. Oh yes, they also wanted to know how much we earn by designing a logo.

Connecting imagery for Schools for Science and Society
The Schools for Science and Society are joining forces with other parties to work on the ‘big four’ societal issues: energy and climate, digitization and AI, sustainable society, and health. Buro Reng has developed imagery specifically for the Schools, which visualizes the connecting role which the Schools play in society.
The imagery consists of general illustrations that allude to the role of the Schools and their often interdisciplinary methods, and illustrations for each School individually. The latter contain references to the Schools’ namesake or the specific topics the School occupies itself with. A combination of illustrations allows the Schools to engage in a dialogue with their partners and the wider public, not only through word but through image as well.

RUG Research Support Portal
–
You want to start a research project and are wondering how to fund it? Or you are wondering during a research project how to publish your results? Just a few questions – as examples – that may be important before, during and after your research. Recently, you can go to the RUG research support portal with such questions. The aim is for researchers to better find their way in search of appropriate support and advice and have more time left for research/teaching. Buro Reng was asked to develop an appropriate style that clearly stands out and underlines the portal’s strategic importance. The inquiring eye in a magnifying glass is the key image of this illustrative branding. Since this week, the portal has been active and you can find a lot of relevant information there as a researcher. – www.rug.nl/research-support-portal

Han Harleman works as a structural engineer and designer. In his one-man practice, the work varies from a small extension to a house to a feasibility study for a project developer. A project is a success if Han realises a permit that seemed impossible, can make a client happy with a surprising plan or floor plan, or knows a suitable contractor who will carry out the renovation of his dreams. Han is the person to turn to with your questions. Han asks us to develop a brand name and brand identity. It will be a logo like a hallmark and a smile; symbolic of Han’s humanity and professionalism.

The conclusion was that more could be done. And now the new name, style and website are ready. Op Maarhuizen – mound for culture and nature.

During Covid, we were commissioned to update the brand book for Somaye Dehban – a Dutchified Iranian. Things turned out differently. Or as Somaye put it: I am open to exploring the collaboration opportunity further. How about we start with the visual identity, and then we move to the next phases? We were commissioned to develop a new, personal, visual identity.
We had intensive contact and asked a lot of questions, of course also about her motives and her dreams. We received an unimaginable and very special life story in response. Via email and the screen, because Covid. That changed today. Finally we meet in person. Somaye surprises us with personal gifts, partly selfmade and all with their own beautiful story. We are touched by her warmth and enthusiasm. Keep an eye on this ambitious and charming lady!

It was also the starting signal for the construction activities of Enne Jans Heerd and the unveiling of one of the first visible results of the assignment we are carrying out for Mayke and Gijs: the branding of ‘Op Maarhuizen’.

Four residential areas in Groningen are getting a facelift. They have to become better, nicer places. But what is it really like to live in these neighbourhoods? Theatre maker Sijas de Groot and photographer David Vroom will spend a year looking for the story of these neighbourhoods. Sijas and David, together with text writer Chris Zwart, will write the big story of each of these neighbourhoods on the basis of all the stories they collected. The story of each neighbourhood will end up in a newspaper that we will give back to the neighbourhood residents. In this way, we try to get you to look at your own neighbourhood in a different way. Because often the special is in the everyday – you just have to see it.– Ik blijf hier – is an initiative of Foundation Tussenland, commissioned by the municipality of Groningen and carried out within the framework of neighbourhood renewal in Beijum, Selwerd, De Hoogte/Indische Buurt and De Wijert.

Het Houten Huis is the visual music theatre company of the North.
What started with the request for a new website led to a collaboration lasting many years. In order to create a suitable website, we got to know each other better. Conversations, consultations, presentations and performances. Wonderful performances in which image, story, music take you to that very special Wooden House world. And we became fans! Not only of the performances, also of the educational projects; Het Houten Huis in the Classroom.
We took a close look at a lot of things. What does Het Houten Huis want, why does it revolve and how can we portray it? We developed the house style, the visual concept for the performances, the art direction, the photography, the logo, the typography – an own font. And now – finally – the website. The challenge was to design a good platform for all those beautiful images, videos and the world of Het Houten Huis. A beautiful task!

Risk management according to Buro Reng

Risk management according to Buro Reng

You invest in a new name and face for your company. Then you also want it to be clear to everyone involved what you stand for and how you propagate it. The Brand Compass then literally becomes a guiding tool and a handle for a consistent brand policy. History, strategy, core values, communication, image, word and corporate identity are described in it. The result of a very nice process and the basis for the new Vindrs brand.

New name, logo and visual identity for Gasunie Engineering
–
Gasunie Engineering – sister company of national gas network operator Gasunie Transport Services (GTS) – has changed its name and logo. This change creates a clear distinction between the commercial companies within the Gasunie group and the gas network operator that carries out statutory tasks. The aim is to create equal opportunities for companies to develop new energy services. Important in view of the current energy transition.

A good example of the Buro Reng approach. The question for a new corporate identity leads to a repositioning. The use of merkkompas provides insight into new opportunities and challenges that are better suited to the new ambitions. With this new strategy, brand name and visual identity, Vindrs is ready for the future!

An inspirational start of the day
–
This morning the gentlemen from Buro Reng gave an awesome lecture about their company, the way they work and they showed a lot of good looking case studies! It sure was an inspirational start of the day.
Nice reaction from the study association for all communication, media & IT studies and the students of the Institute for Communication, Media and IT of the HanzeHogeschool.
An excellent opportunity to introduce the Buro Reng MerkKompas to these future colleagues. The enthusiastic reactions showed that people understand the advantages of this working method!
Maybe you’ve also become curious about our methods and story? Let us know, we’ll be happy to tell you about it.

I’m studying Graphic Design at ArtEZ Zwolle and I’ve been doing an internship at Buro Reng for a month now. I was looking for an internship in which graphic design and research are linked and where the process is just as important as the thesis. In Buro Reng this place has been found! Great team, good atmosphere, interesting vision and instructive conversations.
