Design remains one of the strongest tools brands have in shaping their overall visual identity.
Each month, DesignRush spotlights exemplary creative work across different disciplines through the Design Awards program.
June’s winners span six categories: website, logo, print, app, packaging, and video.
Together, they show how design can solve problems, express brand values, and create meaningful experiences across digital and physical touchpoints.
Best Website Design: Qodeca
Qodeca earned top honors in website design for its newly redesigned portfolio platform, created as part of the company’s rebranding efforts.
The in-house team integrated the agency's new identity into a polished site that shows off its work across mobile apps, SaaS platforms, and enterprise technology.
A soft periwinkle-to-white gradient creates a clean foundation, while bright yellow-green accents guide users toward important actions and content.
Large typography, strong project imagery, and spacious layouts keep navigation simple while helping case studies remain the focus.
The platform also performs as well as it looks. Fast loading, structured menus, and careful spacing carry the same attention to detail that Qodeca brings to its clients.
Best Logo Design: Studio AIO
Studio AIO received the award for logo design with its identity system for Balance, a premium healthy food subscription brand.
The simple geometric forms of a half-circle, a diagonal line, and a circle communicate balance, harmony, and intentional living, respectively.
Deep forest green anchors the identity across packaging and brand materials, while pale blue and yellow accents add contrast.
A custom serif wordmark establishes the brand’s premium image while maintaining a sense of warmth and accessibility.
The identity stays consistent across delivery bags, cups, packaging, and promotional materials, creating a design system that remains recognizable regardless of format.
Best Print Design: The Click
The Click won in the print category for its work for Imperial College London.
The agency developed a scalable system that unifies more than 20 academic departments without sacrificing each one's individuality.
At the center of the project is the "Creative I," a flexible visual framework that adapts across disciplines ranging from mathematics to aeronautics.
Unique icon treatments and color combinations help departments stand apart while remaining connected to the university brand.
The design system works well across printed materials, merchandise, image treatments, and digital applications.
Best App Design: Wavespace
Wavespace earned recognition for its Rooda mobility app design, which was created to simplify urban transportation.
The platform puts ride-hailing and scooter rentals into a single interface, reducing the friction that comes with juggling multiple transportation services.
A dark-mode interface with electric purple and neon green accents helps users spot key details like vehicle availability and pricing.
Live maps, guided unlocking, and simple booking flows mirror the user's physical journey from start to finish, making city travel feel faster and more intuitive.
Best Packaging Design: AnaZeli Design
AnaZeli Design took home the packaging award for Ricey, a sushi brand that targets younger consumers.
The agency built the brand identity around playful "kawaii" mascot characters and expressive visuals.
Repeating patterns, recognizable mascots, and a unified wordmark keep the brand cohesive across takeaway boxes, paper bags, trays, and merchandise.
Forest green and hot pink give the packaging a strong shelf presence, while cheerful illustrated characters lend it a friendly, approachable personality.
Overall, Ricey's visual language was thoughtfully created to encourage social sharing and drive instant recognition.
Best Video Design: McKinley Benson
McKinley Benson won the video design award for "Two Ships," a hand-drawn animated short about keeping a relationship alive on opposite schedules.
Inspired by personal experiences, the film follows a couple whose lives overlap only briefly despite sharing the same home.
Muted colors and soft sound design give the film a warm, reflective tone and an emotional portrait of distance, routine, and love.
Notably, the short barely contains dialogue, communicating with the audience through atmosphere, visual storytelling, and carefully observed moments.
Longlisted for the 98th Academy Awards, “Two Ships" demonstrates how thoughtful animation can convey complex emotions.
Design continues to influence how organizations communicate, differentiate themselves, and connect with their audiences.
June’s Design Award winners show that strong design is not limited to aesthetics.
Whether through branding, packaging, digital experiences, or storytelling, the most effective work helps people understand and engage with the world more clearly.
DesignRush continues its commitment to recognizing outstanding creative work from around the world.
Stay tuned for next month’s winners.
