Dutch designer Tim Tijink, alongside Brent van den Elshout, created a dynamic, type-led identity for Amsterdam’s Minimal Collective. The design uses an oval grid and Gradient Type’s PolySans to reflect the collective’s multidisciplinary nature, combining music, art, and technology. A muted palette of black, grey, and Tidewater Green complements the brand’s progressive and minimal ethos.
