Van Duijn is a transportation company from De Lier, the Netherlands. Their trucks use the Letraset classic Odin to great effect – large, orange, and in motion.

I would like to know why this design is called “Odin” – which is the supreme god of war, according to the Natural museum of Denmark. No matter what the explanation may be, Odin is a great design, these are great trucks, and the logo works even better because it’s orange.

  1. Man, I absolutely love this. Those big slab serifs on the capitals are so much fun.
