Digital Dandelion Recognized with Distinction - The 16th Annual Communicator Awards
2010-07-09
Digital Dandelion won the 2010 Communicator Award of distinction competition for its logo design.
“Our company name, Digital Dandelion, originated from the idea of creating products that people immediately wanted to interact with and share with friends,” commented Jeremiah Cohick, President and Chief Gardener of Digital Dandelion. “We needed a logo to capture that as well. It’s a quite literal take on the form of a dandelion, comprised of asterisks and tilde.”
The Communicator Awards are judged and overseen by the International Academy of the Visual Arts (IAVA), a 550+ member organization of leading professionals from various disciplines of the visual arts dedicated to embracing progress and the evolving nature of traditional and interactive media. Current IAVA membership represents a “Who’s Who” of acclaimed media, advertising, and marketing firms including: Condè Nast, Coach, Disney, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Estee Lauder, HBO, Keller Crescent, Monster.com, MTV, Polo Ralph Lauren, Sotheby’s Institute of Art, Tribal DDB, Victoria’s Secret, Wired, Yahoo!, and many others.
