Legendary industry soiree Podge turns 21 this today.

The lunch, which is organised by chairman Phil Jones, has become one of the most anticipated events in the design calendar since its inaugural event at Quaglino’s in Mayfair in 1994.

From an initial guest list of 30, which boasted attendees such as Marcelo Minale, Aziz Cami and Alan Fletcher, the gathering has since "grown arms and legs" says Jones, with almost 200 set to eat, drink and talk design this afternoon at Podge 2015.

And so to observe its milestone,we deiced to celebrate Podge through design.

Last week we invited some seasoned 'Podgers' to create a card marking the occasion using Monotype's specially crafted Podge21 grotesque font.

From Podge loyalty cards to suggestions for hangover cures (we know you designers love a glass of wine, or two) there were some brilliant entries.

We asked our readers to choose a favourite, which will be revealed at the lunch this afternoon. Make sure you follow #designpodge on Twitter to find out who the lucky winner is.

In the meantime, take a look at some of the designs below.
