Gert Dumbar (Jakarta, 16 mei ) is een Nederlands grafisch ontwerper bij Tel Design en later Studio Dumbar, die nationaal en internationaal bekend.

Strategisch en creatief bureau voor innovatieve en duurzame ontwerpoplossingen in een multimediale wereld. Gert Dumbar is one of the most influential and vibrant graphic designers of the post-war era, both in the Netherlands and internationally. As a co-founder of Tel Design, he created the iconic logo for the Dutch Railways NS , and through his own Studio Dumbar, he left an indelible mark on visual culture.

His work, spanning from avant-garde theatres to multinational corporations, showcases his versatility and impact as an artist, provocateur, and design director. Our goal was to create a book that underscores the value of design while complementing the work of Gert Dumbar.

Studio Dumbar was founded by Gert Dumbar in , in the Hague.

The use of a two-column grid allowed us to vary the image sizes, contributing to a dynamic presentation of his work. The choice of the Adobe Calson Pro typeface was a deliberate contrast to the predominantly sans-serif typography used by Studio Dumbar at the time, giving the book its own identity. The cover depicts hands holding ropes, suggesting a sense of tension and control—a subtle reference to Gert's masterful command of his craft.

The back of the cover offers an intimate glimpse into the cluttered photo studio of Lex van Pieterson, a place where Gert and Lex spent countless hours together in a state of creative chaos. Inside the cover, a collage of Polaroids captures the vibrant and dynamic life within the studio, a visual echo of the many photos that once adorned the walls of Studio Dumbar, reflecting the artistic spirit that thrived there.
