Best Logo Design: Woolf by Peter Melead
As a fashion brand focused on golfing attire, Woolf wanted its logo to display the quality of its products – minimal, luxurious and elegant. Peter Melead’s logo design inspired by the shape of a wolf’s face resulted in exactly that.
Melead combined the outlines of a wolf’s face shape and the shape of wool texture, a key element for Woolf which prides itself on using high-quality merino wool. These unique symbols are combined through monochromatic coloring and a minimalist style, resulting in an elegant and timeless logo.
In line with the most luxurious brands, Woolf's logo design presents customers with something memorable while getting to know the sportswear brand.
Best Print Design: Coimbra 2027 by Grafema
To highlight Coimbra’s identity in a competition for the European Capital of Culture title in 2027, Grafema Design prepared a series of print designs showcasing the city’s vibrant atmosphere. Although Évora took the title home, Coimbra 2027’s print designs still stood out.
Bold colors and geometric shapes take center stage for the Coimbra 2027 print designs with a complementary combination of pastel and solid colors creating an energetic design reminiscent of popular art movements throughout history. A bold Sans-serif typeface balances the dynamic print design dedicated to Coimbra’s cultural scene.
Grafema's print design for Coimbra 2027 presents an invigorating and lively aesthetic that can be applied to an array of products.
Best App Design: Smart Residential Complex App by Aleksandr Volodkovich
Aleksandar Volodkovich’s app design for the Smart Residential Complex App offers a uniquely simple approach to smart living.
Presenting a one-in-all solution app for home management, the app’s design is primarily focused on functionality. A dark-themed interface features two separate sections, “My House” and “News.” Minimal icons, a simple and legible typeface and the occasional use of a digital-forward shade of blue enunciate a user-friendly app created to make your life easier.
Besides its clean aesthetic, the Smart Residential Complex App took this month’s Best App Design Award for its unparalleled user experience in home management.
Best Package Design: Symphony Sleep by DD.NYC
Creative design agency DD.NYC received April’s Best Package Design Award for the elegant Symphony Sleep mattress packaging. The tall rectangular box showcases the brand’s values at first sight.
Typography and visuals are combined to present a picture of a product intended to evoke a feeling of calm and quiet luxury in consumers. The dark-green packaging color and gold typography are reminiscent of the colors of the natural world while remaining elegant.
Additionally, the shape of the packaging allows for easy unpacking with an easy-to-open four-piece top, an innovative approach that can only be thought of by one of the top packaging design companies.
Best Video Design: Indie Semiconductor by Brandefy
Brandefy solved Indie Semiconductor’s need for an eye-catching logo with a 3D animated logo video design that distinctly matches the company's personal branding.
With the help of seamless transitions and impressive visual elements, the video design offers a unique approach to creating a brand logo. The starting animation of light passing through semiconductors immediately reminds users of what Indie Semiconductor is all about, while the color choice of black and neon green evokes a feeling of modernity.
Indie Semiconductor's dynamic video design by Brandefy will surely be memorable and offers an innovative approach to 3D animation in branding.
