BRAND NEW AWARDS 2011 JUDGE’S COMMENTS:
While not entirely novel, it did seem to capture the spirit of the time quite well. It worked for me on two levels: one, as a piece of social narrative since communications today are somewhat of a paradox—there are so many forms of high-speed messaging, it seems like important messages can get buried by the the noise. Second, by adopting an “anti-identity,” IS (as a design studio) presents itself as a clean slate, not about to impart some pre-determined agenda on their clients’ work. Of course, the “anti-identity” posture is very much an identity. The airbrushing of the card edges was a nice touch, giving a contemporary ring to the austere presentation of redaction. — BRETT WICKENS / THIS WAS WICKEN’S JUDGE’S PICK
This appropriately ambiguous mark wants to have it both ways: a fill-in-the-blank invitation and a blacked-out redaction. I can’t decide if the registration mark is creepy or cutesy, but the red/magenta and black/white color scheme is beautiful. — ANDREW BLAUVELT
The irreverence of the redacted symbol elicited laughter and admiration from all judges. — ELLEN GLASSMAN
This system is clean, spare, and elegant. — PAULA SCHER
Again: simplicity and originality. I really liked this one for those reasons. The execution with the color being applied on the side of the business cards made it even stronger. This one put a smile on my face. — MICHIEL SCHRIEVER
