Calendars can be more than just a tool for remembering dates or promoting your business. This set of unique calendar designs really pushes the possibilities of this often overlooked medium as an artform. Having an interesting calendar isn’t just for aesthetics either. Making your calendar unique will also make it more likely recipients will want it, and want to keep using it. From your company’s point of view, that means more brand impressions. If the design is particularly inspiring, your calendar might even be left up for more than a year.
We’re always on the lookout for beautiful and unique calendar designs, and we thought we’d help those of you on the same quest by sharing this collection of refreshing and creatively designed calendars from past years. You’ll find poster calendars, wall calendars, and other unexpected formats. They’re definitely worth a look. We hope you find some inspiration for your own designs.
