It’s National James Bond Day and also an incredible 59 years since the release of the original Bond film, Dr. No, but do you know the origin of these famous three numbers?
.
James Bond's 007 status is legendary. Bond has become synonymous with "007" - those three numbers that denote his famous license to kill, in Goldeneye Font.
.
Today we are looking at the 007 font and how it has stood the test of time as one of the most recognized movie logos ever. The logo, designed in 1962 was composed of three bold and sleek black digits “007” with a black gun coming out of the “7” and pointing to the right so that the digit became a handle of the gun. The numbers, executed in thick lines with smooth contours have some of the edges slightly curved, which adds a sense of luxury and style. A bit like bond himself! 🍸
.
The black and white colour scheme of the Bond logo is a perfect choice, allowing placement on any possible surface and pattern.
.
59 years old and still selling out cinemas! Iconic typography at its best. ...

This months Meet The Team feature is on Paul, our chief Account Manager here at Origin.
.
Paul has been in the print industry since he left school… that is a whopping 37 years’ experience and has been part of the Origin team for the past 17 years. Paul has seen many changes along the way and has been archetypal in the development of the business in that time.
.
Paul loves working with the team who all have their different characters and enjoys the bespoke nature of Origin where no two days are the same! At weekends Paul can be found at a grass roots football ground watching local football having played and managed for his village team for many years ⚽️ Any excuse to have a beer or two after the game and enjoy the banter Paul? 🍻
.
Recent years have seen Paul develop a passion for cooking and even a spot of gardening… oh and there’s always plenty of dog sitting from the family’s ever increasing dog family 🐶
.
If Paul could share a meal with any 4 people it would be Roy Keane, Jamie Oliver, Paul Weller and Bono. Great choices!!!
.
Talk to Paul today about your upcoming project 🔈

This months Meet The Team feature is all about Sue, our wonderful Account Manager. Sue has worked at origin for over 6 years and loves the variety each day holds! Making customers happy is Sue’s number one goal.

Our blonde bombshell loves weekends away by the beach, spending time with her family and a spot of gardening. Sue’s love affair continues in her garden as her fave hobby is flower arranging. When our green fingered queen has put down her trowel at the end of the day, she loves nothing more than sipping on a glass of prosecco & getting lost in a good mystery book.

We asked Sue who she would like to play her in a film. Her response? “Any classy blonde lady that looks good for her age!” (We wouldn’t expect anything less Sue) “Kylie Minogue would be a good start”

Prosecco, chocolate, 80’s music & her famous pink nail varnish would accompany Sue on a trip to a desert island. If Sue could share a meal with any four people it would be Ricky Gervais, Peter Kay, Mary Berry and George Clooney – “Two to entertain me, one to feed me and one to look at”

Why would you want to look at Mary Berry all day Sue….?

This months Meet The Team feature is all about our boy from the Forest Of Dean, Nathan, our Graphic Design guru. Nath has worked at origin for 4 years and is passionate about delivering quality Design & Print to his plethora of customers on the daily!
.
Nath’s biggest hero & inspiration is Arnold Schwarzenegger. He has been following his career for years and is fascinated by his background as well as his film career and bodybuilding. (Any Predator fans out there?)
.
You can find Nath at a local gym as he loves to keep fit and healthy, he follows rugby and is a keen Gloucester fan! Nath has competed in amateur body building (see that Schwarzenegger link now?) & used to box competitively 🏋️🥊
 
If Nath could share a meal with any four people it would be Richie McCaw and Jonny Wilkinson (two of his favourite rugby players) & Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company (love this Nath)
 .
If Nathan was an animal he would be a miniature lop eared rabbit, he has one as a pet and he is very pampered by all accounts! 🐰
 
Talk to Nath today about your future design project!

Our next Meet The Team feature is on our Marketing Manager Tori.
 .
Tori joined the team in 2019 and loves the variety that her role provides, working with many inspiring brands. On weekends you can catch Tori cooking up a storm ⛈
.
If Tori could share a meal with anyone it would be her favourite artist, Macklemore. Tori has just built her very own Veggie Patch and the rest of the team cannot wait to have an endless supply of Spuds & greens!
.
Tori loves a drop of rosé and her Warning Label would be that she drinks lots of it! 🍷
.
If Tori was a superhero she would be known as Mrs. Lamination 🦸‍♀️ Tori would love to be able to laminate any good or bad thing to stop or preserve it from happening. Imagine laminating words or accidents so they stay perfectly packaged up to keep and always look back at or discard and take away from the world….what a superpower!

It’s midweek here at OZ and a massive week for all of our clients with the latest easing of lockdown measures
.
The back end of last week saw the team meet tight deadlines and create new solutions for our customers! What a few days! We would like to wish each and every one of you a brilliant start to this new phase of lifted restrictions
.
Let’s do this! 💪🏻

This morning we had a team breakfast meeting in Swindon 🙌🥐☕️
.
.
It was so nice to see all our fellow colleagues who have been working from home for the best part of the year again🙌😍
.
.
This picture isn’t from our meeting, we were enjoying the food and company so much nobody stopped to document it - just the way it should be 📸👌 ...

It’s the end of the month and that can only mean one thing…it’s time for our next Meet The Team feature
.
This month we introduce our Product Manager, Freddie. Our newest member of the team is a Triathlon King! At the weekend Fred can be found face down in a pool, hanging off a bicycle or pretending to run 🏃‍♂️ 🏊‍♂️ 🚴
.
If there was a film made about Freddie, the one person he would wish to play his role would be Bradley Cooper…his look alike!
 
Our product Manger’s current inspiration comes (controversially) in the form of Steve Smith, the Australian Cricket Captain. Fred is cricket fanatic and admires his dedication and curiosity to try new things. Freddie’s role requires the ability to streamline processes in order to help our customers receive the product they truly wish for! He’s named this process ‘Steve Smithification’
.
All this sport can make a man hungry…If Fred was to share a meal with 4 people alive or dead he would choose Albert Einstein (because why not…), Louis Theroux (He would ask the others all the questions he wished he’d asked), General Hannibal (2000 years ago he led an army of elephants over the alps, Fred is sure he’s got some stories!) & Saladin sultan of Egypt (Fred studied the crusades at A-level and was fascinated by the many stories of Saladin)
.
If Fred was a Superhero his Superpower would be turning water into wine! 🍷
.
Genius!
