So we were wrapping up our staff meeting last week, when our boss Gareth said, “Oh, I have a gift for all of you.”

Robin, Erica and I looked at each other, completely mystified.

From out in the hallway, we heard him talking with our CEO Thomas. “Do you have it?” “Where is it?” “Can you bring it in?”

By the way, there are about 20 different fonts on the award so we’re pretty sure it doesn’t meet graphic standards. Instead of simply being excited, that was the very first thing we all pointed out. We’re such design nerds…
