The Stone Twins

The Stone Twins is a creative branding agency based in Amsterdam. It was founded by twin brothers Declan and Garech Stone (born 8 November 1970, Dublin), graduates of the National College of Art and Design, Dublin.

The Stone Twins specialises in areas such as brand strategy, naming and brand identity (both visual and verbal). The firm is best known for the branding of MassiveMusic and A'DAM Toren, as well as the design of several Irish commemorative postage stamps. The Stone Twins' award-winning work includes a coveted Dutch Design Award, several European Design Awards and 13 D&AD Pencils. Their work forms part of the permanent collections of the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York, and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and has been described as concept-led, witty, thought-provoking and pioneering.

The Stone Twins regularly write for trade magazines, including Communicatie (Wolters Kluwer) and Eye magazine: the International Review of Graphic Design. They are the authors of the critically acclaimed book Logo R.I.P. (A Commemoration of Dead Logos); the updated 2nd edition was launched in the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York in 2012. They are keen educators, and were Head of the ‘Man and Communication' department at Design Academy Eindhoven from 2008 until their resignation in 2013.
