Save the Date: Creative 2010 Calendars
November 12, 2009 - By Matt Allard - Category: Art & Design & Illustration
It’s that time of the year again—time to start thinking about next year. Whether you like to pencil it in, ink it up, or simply separate your Tuesdays from your Wednesdays, it’s time for you to get a spiffy new calendar! After all, they’re not just Mod Models & Muscle Cars anymore. Try this philosophy: If it’s going to be hanging on your wall or taking up space on your desk, it should look good.
Pentagram’s typographic calendars ($26 to $44) are always big favorites, but the Crossbird 2010 Calendar (pictured) is just $20 and kinda stealing all of my attention this year. It’s like I almost can’t wait to see that blue rainstorm in March…

love D- simple graceful design, ablility to hang on a cubicle wall, and room to fill in the day’s activity(ies). Perfect!
The others are varying degrees of gorgeous but more form over function IMO. (well, there’s E, but I’m looking for an actual calendar :)
Thanks for posting!
