Staatsloterij
De Nederlandse Staatsloterij (Dutch State Lottery) isthe oldest and best known lottery in the Netherlands. The
lottery was founded in 1726 and was state-owned until 1992, when it was privatised. The name wasn’t changed though,
which means the lottery is still associated with the quality and reliability of a state-owned organisation. The Staatsloterij is also the only Dutch lottery for which prizes are free of tax.
The Staatsloterij has two lottery brands: the regular Staatsloterij and Dayzers, which is a daily lottery. The project
shown here was for the regular lottery.
The Staatsloterij organises 12 regular lotteries per year,always on the tenth of the month. Besides these lotteries,
two special lotteries are organised: one for Queensdayon April 30th and one on New Year’s Eve.

produced is an outcome of this process.

WHY ?
Being the largest lottery in the Netherlands, the Staatsloterij uses a lot of different carriers to communicate externally.
In spite of this, the lottery didn’t really have an overall graphic identity for these carriers. This was a danger for their visibility
in the market, with an increasing amount of competitors, partly caused by the fact that the European lottery market will
soon be opened-up.
The initial assignment for QuA was to explore the possibilities of a graphic identity based on the existing logo.
After this exploration phase, the lottery decided to have QuA design a new logo. Following on from this, a new graphic
identity or language would be developed.
The logo and graphic language were both used in a large variety of carriers, for instance P.O.S. materials,
but also television and print campaigns. These carriers were often to be designed by advertising agencies (Doom & Dickson, Ogilvy Amsterdam) based on our guidelines.
Included in the project eas the re-design ofthe lottery tickets, of which almost 3 million are sold in
the Netherlands each month.
