DesignRush Unveils Best Design Award Winners for June

Great design continues to define how brands connect, inspire, and grow.

This June, DesignRush celebrates outstanding creative work across six categories in its monthly Best Design Awards.

A panel of creatives and design professionals selected the winners based on innovation, aesthetic quality, and overall execution.

We encourage creatives, brands, and agencies to keep experimenting, make unafraid choices, and explore fresh ideas without hesitation.

Best Website Design: Podium Design

Podium Design captured artist Lois O’Hara’s dynamic visual identity through a vibrant, motion-filled website that feels like a direct extension of her artwork.

Animated brush strokes and shifting colors echo O’Hara’s fluid painting style, creating an immersive and emotionally uplifting experience.

The site uses bold, unconventional layouts that break away from traditional grids, allowing each project to breathe and speak for itself.

Bright, saturated hues such as pinks, ochres, and sea greens dominate the palette, paired with generous white space to balance energy with clarity.

Navigational elements remain intuitive despite the expressive web design, guiding users smoothly through a portfolio that spans murals and installations.

Best Logo Design: Halobrand

Halobrand designed a striking geometric logo for high-end yacht builder Eternal Luxury, with a focus on timeless luxury and nautical elegance.

The logo design centers on a diamond-shaped symbol that mimics the symmetry and precision of a ship’s helm, suggesting craftsmanship and direction.

The pairing of sleek sans-serif typography with the geometric symbol conveys confidence and sophistication.

A palette of navy and red grounds the brand in maritime tradition while still feeling modern and fresh.

The logo’s structure also allows for easy adaptation across digital and print formats without losing visual impact.

Best Print Design: Phillip Coch

Graphic designer Phillip Koch created a print piece for Brunello Cucinelli that radiates the brand’s philosophy of "humanistic capitalism" and refined simplicity.

The editorial layout relies on generous white space, understated typography, and thoughtful image placement to reflect the quiet luxury of the Italian fashion house.

A soft, earthy color palette enhances the publication’s tactile feel, underscoring its artisanal, timeless appeal.

Linen-textured paper and uncoated stock further elevate the sensory experience, aligning with Cucinelli’s commitment to craftsmanship and sustainability.

Koch’s print design invites readers into an experience that feels less like flipping through a magazine and more like reading a personal journal curated with purpose and care.

Best App Design: Riala Studio LLC

Riala Studio LLC developed the Peloton app with a sleek, minimal interface that prioritizes accessibility, user engagement, and personalized fitness journeys.

The onboarding experience is fast and intuitive, easing new users into account setup and class discovery.

Organized by type, difficulty, and instructor, the classes are displayed with large, engaging thumbnails that make exploration effortless.

A dark mode interface highlights core features like scheduling, progress tracking, motivational prompts, and performance metrics without visual clutter.

The app design supports Peloton’s premium fitness ethos while making at-home training feel dynamic, seamless, and empowering.

Best Packaging Design: Studio Deia

Studio Deia’s packaging design for conceptual brand Wildkind captures the rugged spirit of the outdoors with a playful, family-friendly twist.

Using a vibrant color palette and whimsical animal illustrations, the design invites curiosity while staying rooted in nature.

The matte finish and texture of the paper elevate the tactile experience, while the use of negative space keeps the overall look clean and approachable.

Hand-drawn elements and custom typography lend the concept a personal, crafted feel, appealing to eco-conscious parents and children alike.

Clear labeling and simple iconography also ensure the packaging remains functional on retail shelves.

Best Video Design: Creative Union

Creative Union’s video for Socios Member Club combines sleek lifestyle visuals with sharp app interface showcases to present the platform as a premium experience.

The editing features fast cuts and smooth transitions that match the pace of the upbeat lo-fi soundtrack, creating a relaxed yet confident energy throughout.

Visual effects like slide-ins, warp shifts, and glitch overlays add motion and flair while keeping the focus on key visuals.

Short on-screen text phrases like “Member Benefits” and “Create Your Success” highlight core messages in a subtle, modern way.

The result is a well-balanced video design that feels both aspirational and inviting, aligning well with Socios’s lifestyle and tech-driven branding.

Some designs do more than look good. They tell stories that feel real, craft experiences people remember, and connect across every platform in a way that matters.

The DesignRush Best Design Awards celebrate the innovators who bring these ideas to life and aren’t afraid to break away from the usual.

This month’s winners showed what’s possible when creative work goes further. 

We’re looking forward to what’s next. There’s always more talent to discover and more ideas ready to change the conversation.
