The 2018 Unicalendar is currently being introduced on Kickstarter as a unique emoji calendar that makes it easy to spot important upcoming events.
The single-page emoji-inspired letterpress calendar makes it easy to see an entire year at a glance, including major holidays. Some of the holidays identified include Valentine's Day and New Year's Day, as well as "obscure world celebrations" like Popcorn Day and Love Note Day. To help everyone make the calendar truly their own, the Unicalendar also comes with a set of double foil emoji stickers, which include icons in the shape of burgers, birthday cakes, trophies and more.
The letterpress print designed by Josh Williams is printed in Studio On Fire and comes signed, with a seal of authenticity and numbered as part of an open edition.
