The Acorn Has Landed
On July first my wife and I finally welcomed our first child into the world. We had a son, who we named Ian. To the (literally) tens of you who breathlessly (or not) await the burning missives here at ATCO, thanks for your patience while I’ve spent the last few weeks elbow deep in diapers and cuteness.
In honor of Ian’s arrival, I’ve put together a birth announcement. As you might expect from a designer, I wasn’t content just to buy cards off the rack. I put together this design instead. I’m “oak” so it makes sense (sorta) that Ian would be “Acorn.” That’s his logo at the top of the design.
If you are so inclined, I (and Ian) would like to invite you to download a PDF of this design from the link below.

Congratulations, Tim. Ian is a solid name. Acorn, heh he, I like that. And I absolutely love this design you did. Simplicity at it’s finest - and it has tons of character (I like how you dropped in the diaper). Well done.
