Belgium
Three languages, proud cities and a love of comics and frites. Designs for the Belgian city or region you carry with you.
A country in three languages
Belgium has three official languages, Dutch, French and German, and many people feel their first loyalty to their region and city. That makes Belgian identity layered and local, and often quietly proud rather than loud.
The things people miss
Belgians abroad often mention food first: proper frites, good bread and chocolate. They also miss the comic-strip tradition that is woven into the culture, and the character of their own city's streets and squares.
Belgians abroad
Belgians abroad often find that people know very little about their country, and that explaining its languages and regions has become a regular conversation. They tell it with humour, and with more pride than they usually admit. That quiet pride is what our designs try to capture.
What we design here
Designs for Belgium start with cities, regions and everyday culture. Everything is original, with no official emblems, borrowed characters or marks.
