Fred Seibert's Blog

Mailed out January 30, 2008

As you might have noticed, everyone once in a while I try to use our blogs and our postcards to highlight a cause larger than ourselves. Like this year’s elections.

Mailed out the week of January 21, 2008

So after a leisurely holiday break (and an anniversary New Years poster) we resume our postcard series, with a reminder to everyone about our New York animation jam.

Anyone who’s known me for just a little while knows I’ve got a jones for posters. So almost every year starting in 2002 I’ve commissioned a New Year’s poster from some of our favorite artists.

This year is a big one for Frederator. “Original Cartoons since 1998″ has been our slogan for a decade, as good excuse as any for a special poster.

This year’s –which we send out to some of our closest friends and associates– was designed by Los Angeles studio Adams-Morioka. Sean Adams and Noreen Morioka have been the graphic designers most associated with Frederator Studios from our founding in 1998. They’ve designed our logo, one of our coolest set of postcards, and the first annual Channel Frederator Awards program, among dozens of other ephemera. If all that wasn’t enough they’ve also authored a couple of must-have design books in the last couple of years. I’m flattered they agreed to design for us at this very special moment.

Happy New Year, everyone.
