Happy New Year from Brand New Box!

Looking back, looking forward

New Years badge

Every year at BNB we make a New Year's card and send it to clients and friends-of-BNB. It's one of the few things we make at BNB that involve, you know, actual atoms instead of bits. You might have already gotten one of these in the mail!

We worked on more than one client project in 2025 that specifically involved pastel branding, which is not exactly BNB's comfort zone. So we're pushing some experimentation with a softer palette in this year's card, but pairing with some BOOOLLLLD type that echoes our work with Standard Vision.

The quick-witted and eagle-eyed among you might have noticed that this is not one, but four cards. And they're double-sided!

That's because in addition to the Badge of Merit - an honor much sought after, included for some lucky recipients - this year's card is meant to bring New Year Cheer year-round, by becoming a desktop calendar.

Follow the simple instructions on the card's back (fold here, cut there, voila!), and your New Years Greeting is now a stand to hold a years worth of temporal alignment. Thus:

Look! It's a calendar!

Brand New Box wishes you - seriously, YOU - a terrific 2026. We'll be having one.
