Staple Design celebrated their 10th birthday last night in NYC at The XChange and CrunchGear was there to soak it all up. If you’re unfamiliar with Staple Designs then I’ll give you the quick and dirty. Designer Jeff Ng accidentally started Staple Clothing in ’97 when he and a friend would sneak into the silk screening lab at Parsons School of Design and print up a couple t-shirts. 10 years later Jeff and Co. are still designing clothes, but now they’re helping companies reach out to their target audience as a top visual communications agency. Clothing and design, how does that fit into CrunchGear’s daily rotation? That’s pretty simple. The Zune team was there to celebrate and I got my grubby paws on a special 10th anniversary Staple designed white Zune. Hit the jump for the exclusive.

Mountain Dew and Green Label Arts teamed up with a handful of artists to design some cool new bottles and Jeff was among them. You can check out the rest here.
