Oxide turns 25 today!

To celebrate a quarter century of design, we're publishing a book!

"With Good Reason: Collected Works of Oxide Design Co., 2001–2026" brings together 25 years of logos, brands, and graphic design in more than 200 full-color, 12" × 12" pages. Its title reflects a belief that's guided our work since day one: each design decision should have a good reason behind it. (Stay tuned for more details.)

To all the clients, collaborators, colleagues, and friends who've been part of these 25 years — thank you. We couldn't have done it without you!

: When Oxide first moved into our previous office, we designed temporary signage for the restrooms. Arguably still some of our best conceptual work.
