Royal Oosterberg 125th Anniversary | Invitation
Client → Koninklijke Oosterberg, Zutphen (NL)
Art direction, graphic design & illustration → Peter Kortleve
_
Royal Oosterberg, the Dutch dealer of all things electro-technics, organized a black tie party to celebrate their 125th anniversary and the fact that they may now add ‘Royal’ to the company name. I was asked to design the invitation which would show a timeline of the company since their start in 1893. I created a look that is reminiscent of that period and would fit a black tie party. It was executed in two (corporate) colors: royal blue and silver. The design of the number 125 is inspired by their logo. And for the observant viewer: yes, I’ve also added The Beatles.
