My good friend and design soulmate Rogier Rosema
and I were already creating government icons independently from each other before we
decided to collaborate. Numerous meetings and presentations later we convinced
the people at the Dutch Government that it was a great idea to custom design a
complete new icon style and create an icon library which all ministries and
departments would be able to use. This has resulted in more unity in all
Government communication. It
was the start of a very interesting journey.
