JongType

Hi, I’m Jon, a graphic designer intrigued by the shapes of letters and graphic symbols. What also captivates me is designing with purpose, and logo design seamlessly blends all these disciplines into one.

My greatest passion lies in crafting bespoke letterforms and identifying the style that fits seamlessly with each individual project. I achieve this by engaging the client in discussions about their brand’s objectives, desired outcomes, and historical context, ensuring these factors are duly considered. For larger branding projects, I also conduct thorough analyses of the market landscape and competitors’ strengths and weaknesses.

My professional experiences have taken me from Copenhagen to Zurich, working with organizations such as Sinndrin, Pleks, Scandinavian Branding, KEYSTONE-SDA-ATS AG, Brunnergraf, 56k.Cloud. Each role has contributed to my growth as a designer, providing opportunities to engage with different cultures and design philosophies. 

Education has played a crucial role in shaping my design perspective. After completing my Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design at The Graphic Arts Institute of Denmark, I pursued a Master of Arts in Type and Typography at The Royal Academy of Art, The Hague. My academic journey also includes studies in architecture, comics, drawing, painting, and even Chinese Kung-Fu in China. These diverse learning experiences have enriched my understanding of design and allowed me to incorporate a wide range of influences into my work.

Over a decade into my career, I remain committed to exploring the boundaries of graphic design and typography. My work reflects a continuous quest for innovation, driven by a belief in the power of design to communicate, engage, and inspire. As I look forward to future projects and collaborations, my goal is to keep pushing the limits of what can be achieved with creativity and a deep love for the craft of design and concepts.
