A Delicious Decade of Design

Blimey how time flies. Our good friend and collaborator Delicious Industries has just turned ten years old. Delicious is a little like us in that they don't do creative and design awards or self-publicity. But they've been quietly spending the last ten years creating classic identities, lovely design and beautiful typography (some of it for us, thanks D.I.) and photography. And more recently producing their own clever print items, like their Howdoos personalisable business cards and hand letter-pressed cards. Happy Birthday Delicious Industries, here's to ten more great years! Good people doing good work, why not head over to the excellent Delicious blog and congratulate them?
