Being suckers for both Christmas and Children, we took a little company field trip to go see all the trees being auctioned for such good a cause. If the Griswalds were to host a Christmas tree lot, this is what it would look like. There were hundreds of spectacular trees and centerpieces packed in the South Towne Center. Most of the them are inspired by stories from children and families involved with Primary Children’s and decorated to represent each story.

Every Holiday season StruckAxiom also extends their efforts in benefiting a noteworthy cause. This year we were honored to purchase two trees and a wreath from the Festival of Trees. We hope our contribution brings the same smiles and cheer that the trees and wreath will to our office.

The Festival of Trees is over, but you can still help benefit the Primary Children’s Medical Center through several other opportunities.

Through a fortuitous turn of social media events, we are excited to announce that the SLC chapter of the AIGA and StruckAxiom are hosting the Utah premiere of BÖIKZMÖIND: a beautifully shot, 30-minute documentary film about fixed gear bikes in Bristol, England. The film’s director, Gavin Strange, will also be in the house for a discussion on design and a Q&A after the film.

Join us at 7:00 PM at the Salt Lake Art Center auditorium on Thursday, October 27th. Tickets for the event can be purchased HERE.

All attendees will walk (or pedal) away from the event with a limited-edition letterpress poster designed by the StruckAxiom team and smashed by our friends at The Mandate Press.

Here’s a bit about the director:

Gavin Strange is a Senior Interactive Designer for the digital department of illustrious Aardman Animations in Bristol, England by day. By night, this young, ambitious creative goes under the alias of JamFactory, where he’s already launched he’s own line of vinyl toys called Droplets and has just finished directing his first documentary film on fixed gear cyclists in Bristol called BÖIKZMÖIND. Gavin is a regular on the speaking circuit. He covers the topics of creativity and entrepreneurship at conferences, universities and is often the featured speaker at London’s flagship Apple Store.

So whether you live life by the death before derailleur mantra or you actually aim for Jimmy John’s delivery guys on your way home, come enjoy an evening about design, creativity and of course… boiks.

Congrats  Sarah! And thanks to all those who’ve been with us since like # 1.

What’s a proper send-off for a fella like Patrick? Golf. And golf attire. Have fun at the Big House in the Pearl, kid. Don’t forget to roll back to Old Town for a sandwich every now and again.

Found this little diddy while looking through my email for behind the scenes photos. Shot by Patrick on his iPhone back in July of 2009, while we were moving everything into our new (shiny new!) White Stag studio. Thought it would be cool for everyone to see how pretty the floors were before they got scraped up by chair races and ping pong tourneys.

Salt Lake City did some remodeling and it’s colorful! Check out the more photos of the SLC studio on Flickr.
