Logo by Stang

The logo of the BakfietsTreffen, the International Cargo Bike Festival is by the Dutch illustrator Stang Gubbels.


Stang > Constantijn
Everybody knows Stang as Stang, but his real name is Constantijn. Stang lives and thinks in images, Stang changes people animals things into Stang Images. He refined his drawing art at the School of Graphic Design in Eindhoven and the Art Academy in Rotterdam. He did drawings at advertising agencies, but soon after established himself as independent artist in Rotterdam. His strength lies in the pictogram as being an illustration and in his rapid eagerness when he is working on his images.
Stang used to live for his work, but things are changing. Stang is changing into Constantijn. No longer can everything be reduced to a pictogram. Stang/Constantijn is currently making Art in Public Spaces, using lines, planes, and colours. In everything that is changing within Stang, one thing remains the same: in his art as in his illustrators. Constantijn is not working for himself, but for the ones who are watching.

RADKUTSCHE - MUSKETIER

The Radkutsche “Musketier” is a modular cargo bike which can be equipped with different installations. 

The “Musketier” with the tarpaulin/bow construction is an all-rounder. Wine boxes, tools, parcels or documents - this installation offers generous space and lets you transport your goods quickly and safe from A to B. 

The board walls of the platform are easily removable and the rear wall is foldable, which allows you to load the “Musketier” quickly and comfortable. The tarpaulin is available in many colours and can also be use as advertising space which makes the bike a mobile and sustainable marketing strategy for your business.
