TNT Post









Client
Koninklijke TNT Post, Royal TNT Mail
Project
Initiated in 1998, ongoing. Development of a visual identity from postage paid logo to printing tools and building signs to mailbags.
Outcome
Studio Dumbar designed the previous PTT Post style, followed by a seamless conversion to TPG Post. In 2006, it was the third time that we were asked to adapt the logo for the Dutch mail company. How to translate a Dutch mentality and long standing design tradition to a new brand identity that is based on an existing style and can also operate worldwide? Studio Dumbar chose for a down-to-earth, phased transformation that would fit the company culture. We looked for a style that would give the company their own, distinguishable face right from the start.
The illustrative way in which the logo and typography are used, combined with the contrasting colour palette of TNT, results in a distinguishable and bold style that represents both the Dutch heritage as well as looking forward to the global role of the new brand.
