Eight Hour Day Stationery

By Eight Hour Day

The Idea

We created this stationery with the understanding that we would be traveling for a year. Because of this, we kept amounts small and only printed what we felt we needed and what we felt would work best for this “alternative” working style. Instead of a standard letterhead, we opted for a postcard and notecard. We felt this was more mobile and highlighted the idea that we were on the road. We also use a stamp to pinpoint our location on a map on the mailing label.

Our new blog was a large part of this trip. For us it was a way to record and share our travels. Because of this, we wanted to have something to give people we met along the way, or those people or places we wanted to feature that wasn’t as stuffy as a business card. Our solution was the blog pog a bit quirkier leave behind that let people know we were going to blog about them (EHD Likes You) or simply directed people to the blog to find out more (EHD Was Here).

Delivery of Work

Beyond the standard use of the stationery for day to day business needs - the postcards and blog pogs are used to connect with people and share our story on the road.

The Results

We are very happy with the results. The stationery is effective, fun and above all compact. I think the blog pogs are our favorite part people we meet along the way are very interested in the trip and it's great to be able to leave something fun with them in case they want to check out more.
