A new corporate design for KCB

Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel and RITCS emphasise cultural collaboration

The new corporate design underlines mutual ties.

The complementarity in the educational programmes of KCB and RITCS, the two Schools of Arts of the Erasmushogeschool Brussel (EhB), offers students in the arts the opportunity to strengthen each other and thus to realise impressive projects. That is the guiding principle for the renewed, intensive collaboration between both Brussels institutions. A new corporate design underlines these intentions.

What is a film without music and what is a musical performance without light? These rhetorical questions were the incentive for both Schools of Arts to translate this complementarity further into their corporate design, with which they profile themselves in the educational and cultural sector.

After all, the students of the RITCS (Royal Institute for Theatre, Cinema & Sound) and KCB (Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel) have been working together in practice for years. During the corona pandemic, this collaboration became even more intensive. For example, providing image and sound recordings of productions, music for theatre performances, or the complete stage techniques of a concert or musical performance. But there is also the joint educational programme for professors of the arts and several research projects.

The new corporate identity provides a visual identity that strengthens these mutual ties and also visually represents the connection with EhB. For the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel it also involves the introduction of the acronym KCB, because with the large influx from abroad, the full name proved all too often to be a tongue twister. Since 2015, RITCS has already had an English translation of the existing acronym: Royal Institute for Theatre, Cinema & Sound.

Een nieuwe huisstijl voor KCB en RITCS 2022

Our new corporate design is a contemporary reflection of what we stand for as an institute. We wanted a balance between the playful, creative and artistic character and the seriousness of two leading educational institutions that not only we, but also Brussels and Flanders are proud of.

After all, our students are the cultural creators of tomorrow and we want you to discover the results of their (joint) creations in the cinema, theatre or concert halls of both Schools.

For the corporate design, EhB teamed up with Lex & Turner advertising agency from Limburg, who managed to capture the exercise of balance in a graphic product.
