Great design deserves to be celebrated, and we’re excited to highlight some of the most impressive creative works in the industry.
Every month, the Best Design Awards shine a spotlight on standout projects across six key areas: Website, Logo, Print, App, Packaging, and Video.
This May, a select group of experienced creatives and design enthusiasts picked winners that truly showcase fresh ideas, skill, and bold execution.
We hope these designs inspire creatives, brands, and agencies alike to keep pushing creative boundaries and trying new things.
Best Web Design: Phenomenon Studio
Shaga Odyssey set out to revolutionize blockchain gaming with an equally groundbreaking website experience.
Partnering with Phenomenon Studio, the site transformed traditional product storytelling into a cinematic, real-time unboxing journey.
Static specs give way to immersive scrollytelling, where each scroll reveals key features in sequence, engaging users through motion, dark-mode aesthetics, and layered interactions.
Embedded real-time data, like blockchain activity and sales tracking, adds urgency and transparency, building trust with a tech-savvy audience.
With stunning macro visuals and seamless UX, the website design bridges the digital and physical to convert attention into action.
Best Logo Design: RASTRO Studio
ZÉLIZE wanted to capture elegance and cultural refinement through a logo that’s both minimal and meaningful.
With RASTRO Studio in the lead, the logo design became a custom serif wordmark that balances precision and luxury with thoughtful restraint.
Instead of flashy graphics, the logo relies on clean typography, a monochrome palette, and strategic use of accents to create a timeless and sophisticated brand identity.
Every letter is carefully spaced, making the logo versatile across everything from storefront signage to packaging and digital platforms.
The acute accent on the “É” adds a subtle cultural touch, reinforcing global appeal and ensuring clear pronunciation, while also boosting multilingual SEO.
Best Print Design: Joe Powderham Design
Chonk disrupts the quiet baked goods market with bold typography and saturated colors that demand attention.
Joe Powderham Design truly captured the brand’s unapologetic personality across every printed surface.
Abstract, tactile patterns replace typical food imagery, creating a fresh sensory experience that feels warm and indulgent while keeping the brand modern and flexible.
A consistent, modular system shows a smart print design that ensures smooth scaling and production.
Meanwhile, the playful copy on the packaging turns every detail into a brand moment, boosting recall and connection.
Best App Design: Digiteum
At the heart of managing chronic conditions is the feeling of being supported and in control.
Digiteum’s Chronisai app simplifies this with a clean, color-coded user interface that makes complex health data easy to understand for all users.
Its AI-powered, voice-enabled logging feature boosts accessibility by letting patients input information hands-free, which is ideal for those with physical or visual challenges.
Doctors benefit from a dedicated dashboard that highlights alerts and trends, enabling faster, informed decisions without data overload.
The dual-mode app design shows how simplicity, accessibility, and AI can transform healthcare systems, earning it this month’s Design Awards for innovation and user focus.
Best Packaging Design: Magiska Design Sverige AB
Magiska Design Sverige AB turned Reitan Retail’s Skippack Tunfisk into a shelf standout.
The packaging combines hand-drawn illustrations, color coding, and a clear label hierarchy to boost trust, usability, and recognition.
Illustrations of vintage-style fish signal provenance and quality, appealing to health-conscious shoppers.
Meanwhile, the 360° design ensures visibility from any angle, reinforcing the brand no matter how it’s displayed on shelves.
Built for fast-paced retail, the consistent, compact packaging design balances clarity, sustainability cues, and brand recall.
Best Video Design: Yum Yum Videos
Accelerant partnered with Yum Yum Videos to turn a complex insurance model into a clear, engaging explainer video.
The result is a short animation that uses visual metaphors and smooth transitions to reinforce the brand’s modern and reliable image.
The video opens with scattered shapes representing confusion in traditional systems. As the story progresses, they organize themselves to show how Accelerant brings clarity.
A focused color palette of blue, pink, and black draws attention to key points, while simple illustrations and 2D graphics make the story easy to follow.
With clean motion and a steady pace, it keeps viewers engaged from start to finish. It’s a smart, well-crafted video design that helps Accelerant explain its value clearly and effectively.
