About "271. CU in Utrecht"

About the artwork

This digital artwork is a minimalist and powerful graphic design with a clear message and a visual nod to the city of Utrecht. At its centre is a large, stylised letter "U" on a black background. This letter is not just a typographic element, but is divided into diagonal areas with the colours red and white - a direct reference to Utrecht's flag, which is known for its diagonal two-colour design.

The "U" symbolises both the city of Utrecht and the English word "you", giving a double meaning to the subtitle "CU in Utrecht" (a phonetic spelling of "See you in Utrecht"). This playful and creative language combination makes the work inviting, contemporary and internationally accessible. The rounded, friendly typography of the text under the "U" contributes to an accessible and modern look.

The composition of the work is clean and symmetrical, bringing calmness and focus. The black background provides a strong contrast to the bright colours in the "U", making the image instantly eye-catching. The diagonal colour distribution within the letter evokes dynamism and emphasises movement - possibly symbolising progress, encounter or travel.

As a digital artwork, this design is particularly effective in its simplicity: it communicates a clear message, plays with language and symbolism, and connects graphic design with urban identity. The work is ideally suited as a promotional image for cultural or tourist purposes in Utrecht.
