Hello there. We're atto. We create beautiful, clever and remarkable things for companies and charities who ♥ what we ♥. That's our job, and we really enjoy it. (This is our blog. For a quick hit on some of our work, have a look at this or this or read a bit about us down here.)

This is our blog.

It's the best way (apart from meeting us) to get an idea of the soul of our wee company.

If you're interested, you can read a bit more about us at the bottom of the page.

Free Idea: Parking Cards November 05 2007

I’m not sure if this is universal, but most car parks (parking lots) here in sunny Northern Ireland work a bit like this…

  1. Drive up to the ticket machine/person
  2. Press a button (or talk to a person)
  3. Receive a card/ticket
  4. Drive to your parking space

The interesting thing (to us) is that, between step 3 and 4, you have a piece of card in your hand without a particularly good place to put it. From minutes of research and analysis, we predict that around 53% of people put the card in their mouth while they drive to a parking space.

So… if we were designing the most remarkable car park in the world, it would have to have Flavo(u)red Parking Cards.

I think the folks at Moto might be able to help (more here).



 

Who on earth are we anyway?

Oh, we're just 3 people in a wee studio in Belfast. Our names are Karys, Heather and Pete.

Something a bit special seems to happen when we work together, so we left jobs in some top agencies to work together all the time.

So what on earth do we do exactly?

We help create things for people who share our enthusiasm for good design, honesty and transparency in business and making the world a bit better.

We're designers, illustrators and brand consultants by trade and training, so most of our work eventually ends up on people's screens or in print.

3 Things people often say to us.

Yes, of course we'd like to talk to you.

You sound nice. Can I have a job?

Well, we're only little, but we're always on the lookout for people who can help us out on various bits and pieces, so if you don't think you're exceptionally talented or exceptionally clever, but your friends think you're both, please get in touch.

Atto? That's not even a word.

Don't be cheeky. Yes it is.
