Cherry

A couple of weeks back we headed along to The Book Club on Leonard St for the grand beginning of the Secret Wars Euro league. Good music, plenty of drinks and a room crammed full of people hungry for the long awaited battle led to a highly charged atmosphere. London came out on top, maybe helped by a slightly biased crowd, who knows? But the judges also swung in their favour. See the highlights below…

Having had a great year (despite the doom and gloom still out there) we at Cherry decided to give ourselves a well-earned break to the continent for our AGM. Amsterdam was the destination of choice; it’s a fantastic city with a real passion for design. It’s also a great place to unwind – plenty of canals, wonderful architecture and a welcome lack of speeding motorists (not to mention the extracurricular activities on offer).

On arrival we visited Ewald’s typography studio. It’s a treasure trove for creative types with an interest in typography, we were in our element – we couldn’t resist sharing a few photos…

The experience took everyone back to the heady days of Art School. Perhaps it was this nostalgia that was responsible for the subsequent ’studentesque’ behaviour later in the evening? We’ll never know…

All in all a fantastic time was had, with some fairly sheepish looking faces back in the office on Monday morning.

Its been a little while since we’ve designed a flyer for NIKA, but here we are again with another great night to shout about. On 30th November head on down to the Hoxton Bar and Kitchen for Kid Harpoon’s only full-band show of 2009.

Hopefully see you there!
