Inside every one of us lives a curious mind—a “Wonderseeker.” Someone who marvels at what’s under a microscope or far beyond the stars. The VSC, the Dutch association of 48 science museums and science centers, helps 6 million people a year rediscover that sense of wonder. Together, they show what you miss when all you do is look at a screen.
Multitude created a new visual identity and website that reflect the power of this network, its members, and its mission: building a strong, accessible, and curious sector that makes science tangible and relatable for everyone.
VSC is not a brand in the traditional sense. It’s a living network—an ecosystem of shared stories, knowledge, and expertise. Our challenge: to design an identity that unites without overshadowing the voices of individual members.
We introduced the lens as the core visual element—a metaphor for focus, perspective, and framing. Each lens tells a different story, echoing the diversity of collections, themes, and ambitions across the network. Together, they form a visual language that connects without flattening.
From stardust to stone tools, from chemical reactions to philosophical questions—VSC members unlock new worlds. To capture that richness, we developed a brand system that acts like a spectrum. It can shift in tone: formal or playful, internal or public-facing. Strong in shape, warm in tone.
The website is the central hub. Not just a brochure, but a dynamic platform—for stories, events, initiatives, and shared campaigns like Weekend van de Wetenschap and Expeditie NEXT. This way, VSC becomes a visible bridge between its members, the government, partners, and the broader science and education sector.
