Our history as a design agency from 1980-2025

Our history as a design agency

It all started in the 80s. Back then, the world was different, and the technology we take for granted today was still in its infancy. For us at tegerning.no, it was a time characterized by creativity, craftsmanship and a good dose of patience. Wait tegerning.no? no, that name didn’t come until the internet came along, so at that time we were called Vignett service. Our drawings were delivered weekly in the mail, neatly packaged and sent to our customers around the country. It was a time when every pencil stroke and every detail had to be right – because there was no “undo button” on paper.

Over the years, we have evolved with technology. In the 90s, we made the leap to floppy disks, which were quickly replaced by CDs. These small, shiny disks felt revolutionary at the time, and they made it possible to distribute our drawings in a more efficient way. But of course, the development didn’t stop there. Today, our entire archive is digitized and available for download – just a few clicks away. This has made it easier than ever for our customers to access our diverse range of illustrations.

A rich archive

Over the years we have built up an impressive archive of drawings covering a wide range of categories. Whatever you are looking for, chances are you will find it here. Our categories include:

Winter, spring, summer and autumn: Illustrations that capture the essence of the four seasons. From snowy landscapes to blooming spring meadows.
Christmas and Easter: The holidays are always special, and we have a wide selection of designs that celebrate these traditions.
Events and culture: Everything from national day celebrations to art and music.
Society and business: Illustrations that reflect themes such as work, economics, and social development.
Nature and Environment: Drawings that celebrate the beauty of nature and the importance of taking care of our planet.
Leisure, food and health: From hobbies to healthy lifestyle choices – we cover most things.
Situations and humor: Drawings that capture everyday moments with a twinkle in the eye.
Swedish: Yes, we even have a separate category dedicated to our dear neighbors to the east!

Famous illustrators throughout the ages

One of our greatest strengths has been our collaboration with many talented illustrators over the years. These artists have contributed their unique style and creativity, which has made tekerning.no what it is today. Every line, every color and every figure tells a story – and it is thanks to these talented people that we can offer such a diverse and inspiring selection.

Among the artists who have contributed to the archive, we would like to highlight.

The future of tekerning.no

Although we have come a long way since our humble beginnings in the 80s, we are not resting on our laurels. We are constantly looking for new ways to improve, whether it is in terms of technology, design or content. Our goal is to continue to be a pleasant player in illustration, while maintaining the quality and creativity that has defined us over the years.

To all our customers – both old and new – we would like to thank you for being with us on this journey. We look forward to the continuation!
