We've been hard at work the past couple of months and finally have issue 10 in our hands! Here's Anna and Leslie in our distribution center rocking out and fulfilling subscriptions going worldwide in tomorrow's mail.
Simply put, COG would not be possible without our advertisers... We've made some great relationships over the nine issues we've managed to publish since November, 2007. Fabric Horse has been supporting us the whole way. Not only do we love and use their products, we love the ads!
In today's twitterverse, a hand-written thank you card received in the mail, is a rare thing. We received this one today from someone in Miami.
Much Appreciated indeed!
We're really honored to be included in the "Two Wheels Good" feature within issue 77 of Eye Magazine, The International Review of Graphic Design.
We recently completed the official race/guide booklet for this year's CMWC in Guatemala. The events kick off September 3rd in Panajachel.
While rummaging through stacks and stacks of old skate magazines, I stumbled upon a few cycling magazines and brochures from the 50's-70's. The pages are yellowed and the stapled binding is barely holding it together. This made me think about the present day and how many people think print magazines are a thing of the past. Well, whoever thinks that will probably not appreciate this 1952 issue of Cycling Magazine. As I read through the articles and look at the black & white photos, I get sent back to a day where there were no computers and no blogs to inform the people of worlds happenings. Don't get me wrong, I (sometimes) love how fast news travels today, but there is something pure about holding something in your hands and turning the pages. Some things are forever and the internet is not one of them. One tap of the delete key and that Firestone bicycle tire ad would be gone. Instead, it is laying on my desk 58 years later and I am blogging about it. How ironic. Keep checking back as I dissect the Print mags of the past.
