The Facebook Like Button Stamp

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

We had an idea, we got it made. Now people all over the world are using it on 90% of the things that cross their desks. The Like/Dislike stamps were something that started out life as a joke in the studio. A rubber stamp we could use to attack each others paperwork with. Once twitter and a couple of the big tech blogs got hold of it we were inundated with requests. Cut to a month later and we were in full production of the stamp, selling it through our own online store to people all over the world (including one to the man himself, Mark Zuckerberg.) An internal project that went awry in the best possible way.

If you’re so inclined you can also keep track of updates in the studio and to the Stamp by following us on twitter @Nationstudio and joining the Facebook fan page

**UPDATE, DECEMBER 2010**

A new more affordable version of the Like/Dislike stamps is soon to be available in all good retailers. If you live in the US the stamp can soon be bought from thinkgeek.com and for the UK and Europe you can pre-order at Firebox.com

It was our lead developer Chris’s birthday last week. We bought him cupcakes from the lovely Crumbs and Doilies, and because Chris dreams in binary and solves problems with function();s we customised the cakes with some sweet sweet code.

Visitwales-Proper-holidays


We have completed the first phase of a beautiful campaign for visitwales headed up by Wieden + Kennedy London. We’ve worked with the Flash Google maps API along with YouTube to present the journey of the Darkes’ who’ve not enjoyed package holidays and have been introduced to the wonders of Wales. We especially like the Yurts! Follow the Darkes’ journey here
