Penny’s so into Christmas this year, she’s even grown some antlers. The other dogs? A mere hat will have to suffice.

Right you lovely lot, the studio is now shut for Christmas and we will see you in the new year! Be good, be safe and have a wonderful time ✌️

The answer…a very emphatic yes. With 7 (very decent to be fair) fonts to go at, your typeface can now feel more British than a Mini Cooper doing donuts around Trafalgar Square.

This is an actual photograph of the first flash of light emitted soon after the big bang, 13.7 billion years ago. This light has been stretched by the expansion of the Universe and arrives at us as radiowaves. It is called the Cosmic Microwave Background. See the sky view.

Let's celebrate Kate, cause she's f*cking great! For those who don't know her, Kates's our Associate Design Director and she has been at the heart of Drumbeat's design output for over a decade. To describe her as a natural born designer is an understatement. No matter what she tells you, she has forgotten more about design than most of us will ever know. She has a love of it, a gift for it, an eagle-eye for what works. As countless clients have related, she "just gets it". She'll hate us for saying it, but she's the consumate creative. She has also, over the years, fully immersed herself in the Drumbeat culture.

We rarely see words like va**na or period when it comes to the marketing of products specifically designed to help people manage their menstrual flow. More often clinical or clandestine language is used which subliminally suggests something is wrong or illicit. How can something which happens naturally be so hard to talk about plainly?

This brilliant article http://ow.ly/aFpx50LOVnt tags Boots, Here We Flow and Daye as progressive brands tackling this bizarre taboo and improving the conversation.
