Congrats to our client, Chris Cunningham of Swingline, who was quoted (and pictured!) in an article in the business section of The New York Times. You can read all about the history and the future of the Swingline stapler here.

Happy holidays from your friends at Vessel!

Keeping it classy for our holiday party this year! Despite the threatening weather (that never came), we had a successful holiday party at the new studio. It’s a great place to work and entertain.

We are sending out 2012 in style with some silk screened wrapping paper designed by Tony and Mike. Shout out to Screwball Press here in Chicago for some great print work.

Vessel designed the leaf pattern graphics for Swingline’s recently released Fashion Stapler line.

Congratulations to Dan for completing the Londres-Paris! Biking 520 km over 3 days = very sore legs.

Vessel has a new home … it’s the historic Lincoln Public Bath House! Out of 19 bath houses built in Chicago between 1894 and 1918, it’s one of only four still standing.

Vessel participated in the Notre Dame Industry Externship Program and hosted three students for a day. The students toured the studio space and learned about Vessel’s approach to design. They also got a chance to show off their skills in a practice ideation session.
