Merry Christmas, Fordham University!

'Tis the season to be busy---with finals, end-of-year reports, holiday shopping, and just about everything else. Luckily, the Fordham Holiday Passport is here once again to help bring cheer (and great holiday city adventure ideas) to Fordham students everywhere! (But mostly just at Fordham).

You may remember last year's holiday ram-deer motif. While I loved those cute little guys, I wanted this year's cover to feel a little more "classic" (not to mention a little more "collegiate")---like an old Currier & Ives Christmas card, or something out of It's a Wonderful Life. Hopefully Frank Capra and Jimmy Stewart---or at least Buddy the Elf---would be proud.

Santabucks Coffee Cups

With Starbucks' red holiday cups out in the market, I thought it'd be fun to do a simple Christmas redesign of their recently redesigned logo. Turns out it only takes a few tweaks to turn the Starbucks siren into everyone's favorite jolly old elf.

If you'd like to turn your own Starbucks coffee cup into an authentic Santabucks Christmas cup, just print out the sheet below on sticker paper, trim along the dotted line, and slap on your next warm beverage. (Or slap it on a red or white ornament and say goodbye to holiday gift-shopping!)
