What we've been enjoying this month

Make WordArt

We're throwing it way back to the '90s with this nostalgic Microsoft WordArt generator - because who doesn’t love a little gradient and drop shadow?

Maybe this is how our logo would have looked in 1995... and honestly, we’re not mad about it.

3 rules of copywriting

An amazing talk from Harry Dry about the 3 rules of copywriting, taken from his video Learn Copywriting in 76 Minutes. It's such an interesting and insightful watch. Thanks to our friends at Neighbourhood for sharing.

Project Spotlight

It was great to see the launch of King's Church Birmingham's new brand and website this month. We loved working with the team to create a new identity and user-friendly website.

Conference in Oxford

Dave took a trip to Oxford this month to join many others at the Christians in Business conference. He had a great time reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting some new ones—and returned home with a tote bag full of free books. A great trip all around… and his bookshelf is now overflowing.
