We are Red Hat Week puzzles

Each year, Red Hat celebrates the people, communities, and culture that make the company unique. Part of the celebration includes the design and worldwide distribution of puzzles that are completed by Red Hatters as a team activity. Photos of the results are posted on a company email list.

In 2018, shortly before the major rebrand of the company, I laid out and photographed the design for three We are Red Hat Week puzzles. In the style of I Spy books, the puzzles highlight merchandise and printed materials over the years in a celebration of Red Hat history.
