Rather than sending out cliché christmas cards, for the last 8 years we’ve had the pleasure of crafting… well, different cards. These are generally the result of too much alcohol, very long meetings as well as the fact that Jérôme & Patrick like cross-dressing!
Each year, our founding members therefore alternate for their our pleasure. Below are all seven beauties in chronological order:
2008
This first christmas card was designed in the midst of the 2008 credit crisis and featured Patrick as a half-naked Santa Claus:
2009
This second christmas card was sent out a couple of months after we released version 1.0 of our Askia Design Controls… that ran at the time on Adobe’s Flash 🙂
2010
The below christmas card was designed as we had just opened our Mannheim office!
2011
This christmas card was our version of 2012 London summer Olympics and featuring Jérôme (our Harold Abrahams) competing against Patrick (a rugby version of Eric Lidell) on the beach in Normandy:
2012

2014
Last year, we invited Wonder Patrick to help us celebrate our new Los Angeles office…
2015
This year, we decided to honor the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens by unleashing our one & only: Princess Leia Organa Sopoçko!
So, the next 12 months will provide the usual batch of software updates, fixes and new features… until we release our next Christmas card!
