one shoop stationery

Given that we say two feet and one foot, why don't we say two sheep and one shoop?

Destined to remain forever unanswered, it was this question that led to our rather odd choice of name.

And this fascination with language is revealed further in our unashamedly word-festooned stationery.

Playing on our strapline "serious fun with design", our letterhead, business cards and compliments slips all feature technical descriptions of the paper stock used. That's the design bit.

Whereas the fun component is expressed in the form of a daft alternative use to which the stationery can be put.

Tick-boxes next to the words "fun" and "design" in the strapline are individually ticked and a company sticker is lovingly applied by hand to each item, too.

To us, taking our work seriously and taking ourselves seriously are two entirely different matters.
