Launched this year, with the first class beginning in 2012, the THNK Creative Leadership Program at THNK, The Amsterdam School of Creative Leadership is a post-graduate program designed to “provoke and inspire professionals, entrepreneurs and scientists into becoming the world’s next creative leaders.” Limited to 30 participants the program runs for a whole year with one month of “basic training” off campus, four months of “intensive training” on campus, and five months of “acceleration program” off campus. Tuition is €43,000 (US$63,000). An identity for the school has been created by Amsterdam-based Lava.
The absence of the ‘i’ in their name exemplifies thnk’s philosophy: that the challenges facing us today, standing in the world, not only can be solved by individuals, but collectively - creative leaders know this. It is not the ‘i’, the only I, but always in collaboration with others.
Lava has this philosophy represents the individual i’s and bring them together to overlap so as to create a network. Thus they form a network of an infinite variety of playful shapes that represent co-reatie and collaboration, with great richness, diversity and individuality as a result. These are called ThnkBats and they are both the basis for the logo for the imagery used to enrich typography and illustrations build.
