Fred & Eric’s brilliant intern Mateusz has hatched this inspired chicken ampersand design, ready for our Easter break.
Needless to say Mateusz’s eggcellent design is now pride of place in F&E’s collection, but strangely enough… the chocolate egg is nowhere to be seen.
Catch up on the world of Mateusz on his website.
Happy Easter from F&E!
Craft lover Nicky Hartnell has come up trumps with this little fella. Seems like her love of ampersands might rival Fred & Eric’s as this is Nicky’s third submission to our blog. Find out more about Nicky and her crafty creations on her website I Love Making Stuff.
And a special mention to our intern Mateusz for his inventive photography!
Fred & Eric Celebrate their first Birthday today! In true F&E style, we thought it only fitting to mark this momentous date with an ampersand candle.
Thanks to everyone who’s emailed us ampersands over the past year. We’re really proud of our blog and excited to keep adding to it over the next year!
Lots of love from Fred & Eric (AKA Jamie, Sarah & Maggie)

Fred & Eric love nothing more than collaborating, which is why every month we change our logo banner to showcase a new ampersand we’ve been sent.
If you’re a fellow lover of this curly form, please send us an ampersand. It could be an illustration, animation, 3D or even made from spaghetti! F&E will post your design on the blog along with a little something about yourself. At the end of the month we’ll use our favourite design to update our ever-changing logo.
If you’re short of inspiration, click back through the pages of our blog to see past submissions.

Katie & Will (not that Kate and Will) have taken a break from their world of film and documentary making. Swapping live action for stills, they’ve illuminated Fred & Eric’s ampersand collection by light writing on long exposure photos behind an ampersand stencil.
Fred & Eric think the photographs are magical.
Find out more about Katie’s latest documentary film project at theclubdocumentary.com. Catch up with Will at reelnice.co.uk and wfrancome.tumblr.com.
Happy New Year from F&E! And what better way to celebrate our first working day of 2012 with a new ampersand inspired by the glorious weather…
Fred & Eric have Decked The Halls, bought their Mistletoe and Wine and seen Mommy kissing Santa Claus. They’ve also found time to create graphics for North One Televisions’s ‘Britain’s Favourite Christmas Songs’, which airs on Channel 5, Christmas Day at 10pm & Boxing Day at 7.05pm.
If you’re a fan of classic Christmas tunes, (and festive graphics) tune in!
We’re going to be mostly eating Quality Streets whilst listening to Stay Another Day on repeat. Merry Christmas Everybody and a have a happy 2012!
Whilst rummaging around the thrift stores in New York City, Jamie Pigram, Fred & Eric’s Head of Production discovered an unexpected gem. Hidden in a back street in the East Village, this rustic looking ampersand was waiting to be discovered by an eagle eye.
Now, just to find that vintage designer handbag…
Today’s ampersand comes from London based photographer, Andrew Meredith. Although the characters aren’t quite to brand… we are assured by Andrew he’s not trying to get rid of Eric.
The story goes that he spent a good few hours rummaging through a drawer of old type but alas, it seemed like there were slim pickings when it came to F’s. So he settled with another E. We’re just happy these lovely letters made him think of us and now we know which of F&E is Andrew’s favourite…
