Everyday Cog

Michael’s been to Cambridge. Even after an hour’s train trip he still found some of our work, this Dickens’ poster on the platform.

It’s our slightly delayed February Cog Night. Illuminate, a celebration of illustration at British Library.

The Beaney B is dominating our days while we work on their signage and wayfinding system.

Michael spent the afternoon at the Commonwealth Foundation. Photography wasn’t encouraged.

There was an oppressive mood in the studio, this afternoon, as these storm clouds rolled in from the East.

Long days in the studio, and tea rounds into the evening, mean extra deliveries from the milkman, this week.

We’re preparing for the arrival of our new Studio Manager. Michael’s been setting up a Mac by clearing it of old software.

Michael was at the Commonwealth Observance at Westminster Abbey, safely distanced from the Queen and Prince Charles.

Michael and John have been to ISM to present ideas and wish David Smith well for his wedding, this weekend.

Tonight’s Cog Night was canceled (Michael got the date wrong) so we went down the pub instead.

Michael’s been to the magnificent Guildhall for this year’s Commonwealth Lecture by the author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

Nicola, our new Studio Manager, has been with us for four days. She’s already made a neat job of our file copies.

This is Dan Bown (no jokes about the Illuminati please). Today is his first day with us, working as a freelance designer.

Michael and Mike had to dress like Oompa Loompas as they visited the nearly completed site of The Beaney in Canterbury.

Nicola’s been here for just over a week. She’s already settled in brilliantly and is making a big difference to our studio life.

Michael’s been to a meeting in King’s Place. On his way he passed through the stunning new departure hall at King’s Cross.

The first warm day of the year (and the end of a very busy week) so Michael has bought us each a Magnum. Here’s Nicola with one.

It was Mike’s birthday on Friday, he took the day off, so today we surprised him with a card and some cake.

We’ve finally got a proper Facebook page. Nicola has spent the day moving images from our Tumblr site to our new timeline.

Michael and Ocky went to the launch party of Brains, the new exhibition at Wellcome Collection. They met up with ex-Cogger Claire.

Michael’s spent the afternoon putting together our latest eflyer, set up and timed to go out at 9.50am tomorrow.

Dan’s last day of a two week stint. We wished him well with a 5.30 beer but he carried on working. We’ll see him again soon.
