Speaker(s)
Designworks & Guardians
Gold Pin - Large Brand/Toitanga
Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka - Mike Pepper, DINZ, Designworks; Anzac Tasker, FDINZ, Guardians.
Tuakiritaka. Restoring pride in identity, and pride in Ōtākou as a place of many firsts.
Alongside mana whenua and The University of Otago, Designworks set out to co-design an identity and brand that would speak to the present, be sensitive to and honour the true past, and provide clear momentum to navigate a path into the future.
DDMMYY & Klim Type Foundry
Gold Pin - Design Communications & Design Craft Typography
American Grotesk - Kelvin Soh, FDINZ, DDMMYY; Kris Sowersby, FDINZ, Klim Type Foundry.
A campaign for the launch of American Grotesk®, a reprisal of Franklin Gothic, which has staked its place as a key part of American graphic vernacular history, notably in persuasive communication.
Like Bollywood in relation to Hollywood, this is an America seen from a non-American perspective, an outsider's cocktail of cultural deconstruction and satire — commentary and comedy — inspired by Colors magazine, Adbusters and S.N.L.
TASKA Prosthetics
Purple Pin - Consumer
CX Myoelectric Prosthetic Hand - David Lovegrove, PDINZ, TASKA Prosthetics.
Since its launch in early 2023 the TASKA CX Hand has established itself globally as the market leading premium prosthetic hand.
