This is a video on the Rijkshuisstijl, which is the Dutch Government’s Visual Identity. It also compares with Sweden’s government identity, the Swiss government identity, and the German government identity. To be quite frank, this video was a bit of a passion project, and I will not make videos like this in the foreseeable future.

  1. I’m will not be making a video about Ukraine and Russia because I am not remotely qualified.

    Also there’s a line in this video about not thinking about governments, and obviously this was made before the situation in Ukraine. So please ignore that statement and treat it as childish.

    Here’s the link for the new Romulus channel that will bring multiple European content creators together to produce European content (videos will be coming soon):

    All corrections can be posted here, but I think this video is inherently more subjective, but I will definitely put all useful input here.

    1. The Romulus channel idea is *very* interesting, love to see it bring together especially Eurocentric creators. There’s still much that we don’t know about our neighbors.

    2. @Hoog i bet dutch will be a useless country ib a war. They should their money on training their soldiers rather than on what will wear……I bet most dutch ppl don’t even care.

    3. If there is no one make you aware that we should thinking about it, it’s probably because they are feeding on you.

  2. To be fair, I once met Balkenende. He still looks like Harry Potter, but he is actually in person a very charismatic man.

  3. This video is a big nothing burger, over analyzing symbols and colors. Other than the people designing it, nobody cares that much.

  4. Ngl I prefer the UK, Germany, Sweden, France, Swiss government designs. And I just can’t stand the US’s.

  5. Great content here. However the thumbnail is a little bit off imo. I interested on the title that makes me binge watching this.

  6. I think you’re not considering how great the graphic design is in _your videos_
    Simplistic and minimalist, yet unique in how 3D it appears, and also in the art that’s there. The thumbnail is quite abstract, and I love it. And, along with that, after you watch the video, you can clearly understand what it shows: the different colours present in logos associated with the Dutch government, and, as a result, the subtle, yet noticeable difference between the shades of blue.

    You don’t give yourself enough credit.

  7. I feel like in Holland they really put thought into everything. I was in Rotterdam last month and everything was just so convenient, city planning, fantastically modern and creative architecture next to authentic old buildings, specific bicycle lanes separated from the car lanes, large open spaces, and everything in close proximity. I fell in love with the country immediately and I plan to move there from the hellhole Germany.
