Art Director (m/f/d) for Branding & Visual Identity

Just “making things look pretty”? That’s not enough for us. At VON HELDEN UND GESTALTEN , we believe a brand can only survive if it has a distinct edge. We’re not looking for a pixel pusher, but for a brand architect who’s eager to create visual identities in the heart of Stuttgart that people won’t soon forget.

We’re not some anonymous creative machine. We’re a close-knit team of strategists, designers, and free spirits . For us, “creative team” isn’t just an empty phrase—it’s a daily collaboration. We question, we reject, and we celebrate together when an idea takes off. Here, you won’t be working for an anonymous corporate structure, but with people who see branding as both a craft and an art form.

Your role with us:

Brand Identity : You develop comprehensive design systems—from the first logo sketch to a complex style guide.
Storytelling : You translate brand strategies into a visual language that evokes emotion.
Leadership & Inspiration : You inspire the team, provide creative direction, and have an eye for detail without losing sight of the big picture.
Cross-Media : Whether it’s digital brand experience, editorial, or a campaign—you ensure the brand maintains its personality across every channel.

What You Bring to the Table

Branding in Your Blood : You have relevant experience in developing corporate designs and brand universes.
Aesthetic Instinct : You know what tomorrow’s trends will be, but you prefer timeless excellence.
Team spirit : You thrive on collaboration. You know that the best ideas come from sharing a coffee (or after-work beer) together.
Confidence : You can not only create your designs but also present them with passion, both internally and to clients.

Here\'s what you can expect:

A Creative Playground : A team that values quality and pushes each other to excel.
No One-Size-Fits-All : Projects with depth. We work for clients who are ready for real change.
Culture Over Hierarchy : We speak plainly, work as equals, and recognize that there’s a life outside the agency.
Your Impact : You’ll actively help shape our agency’s visual identity.

What we offer you:

Capital-forming benefits and company pension with your own pension fund
Personal training budget
VHUG-Coins as accepted currency at surrounding partner restaurants
Multi-talents are encouraged - make music, produce food content, etc.
Possibility for sabbaticals
Team events and hero regulars\' tables
Flexible working models such as home office and mobile office

Want to help us bring ideas to life?

We don’t need a formal cover letter—nobody reads those anyway. Send us your portfolio, which shows how you bring brands to life, and tell us a little about yourself.
