Netherlands-based graphic designerSander Flinkdemonstrates the visual power of language in his striking wordmarks.

These designs are a kind of logo that depends on typography rather than an abstract or pictorial mark.

Flink’s project began a way for him to generate new work while exploring his creativity.

Experimentation is at the heart of Flink’s creative process.

The combination of letterforms in a word (together with the font used) helps determine the negative space.

He then manipulates the spaces in a way that defines the meaning of the text.

The g in light, for instance, contains a bulb that illuminates the nearby letters.
