Insight

A new beginning, a new identity

In 2020, Werkbedrijf De Binnenbaan was established as an independent organisation, following its transition from the municipality of Zoetermeer. This shift called for a clear and distinctive identity that would reflect its new position, while staying connected to its social mission. GBE developed a brand identity from the ground up to support this transition and give the organisation a strong, recognisable presence.

Solution

Designed through competition

We opened up the process — as we always do. Different teams brought in different ideas, and everyone was invited to submit a logo. By setting up a friendly competition, we push for the strongest outcome. From all submissions, we selected three clear directions and presented them to the client — shaped by multiple perspectives, refined into one identity.

Result

Built to connect, embraced by many

The result exceeded expectations and was widely embraced — by employees, the client and the target audience. The new identity is strong, socially engaged and distinctive.
