I was working in Kirchenburg’s city branding. I think what i love the most about OGF is the oportunity to design for so many different fictional brands and business. I really enjoy it, more than mapping i think haha. I’m thinking about placing a design studio in Kirchenburg which is the one that makes all the design stuff in Welstand-Westrijk. Thinking about calling it Plotter studio. Is not said in Kirchenburg’s wiki page, but the otter is the symbol of the city. It’s on the coat of arms of the city, and the citizens are commonly known as otters. So Plotter studio can be a great name. They’ve made the Brutto supermarket logo too haha.
Here is the Kirchenburg’s city branding use http://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/File:Usologo.jpg
The colors are the the Kirchenburg’s flag colors. Black,blue,white + yellow (Welstand province color)
What yout think about it? I’m open to work for anyone in OGF designing stuff for their brands, cities, countries, tourism branding, sport, etc
:)
Happy mapping!

As a designer I love people taking effort to make normal things look beautiful. Often I have the same thing, loving the idea to create corporate design for just about anything, and sometimes that’s pushing the mapping to a second place. Often it’s not convienient for the progress of the map, but I can live with taking time for both those things.
The logo for the design studio looks awesome, very lively. I’ve noticed the Brutto logo before, very beautiful logo too. Keep up the good work!

I like all your graphics work! Especially I find the coat of arms of Welstand-Westrijk just perfect! I wish I could draw like that, all my logos look like it they were made in MS Paint (to be honest they are :D ).

I love this idea! I was so impressed by Eindhoven’s city identity when I visited there last year. I have decided to create something similar for Dunwic. The identity is inspired by the river, the canals and the sea which define Dunwic’s character and geography.

I think i must agree with you, i do enjoy designing things for my country than actually mapping it. Could you do some experimental work for Loravia? Its kinda like Prague or Bratislava.

Nice work!
Having an excuse to design coats of arms, flags and other images was a part of the attraction of OGF for me too, although I have learned to love the mapping.

Another bit of fun, here’s some street and transit signage examples from the new Dunwic style guide.
