Ergo Characters
GRAPHIC DESIGN OF THE YEAR
Company Logitech Europe S.A.
With the launch of the Ergo Series of ergonomic devices, Logitech was looking to boldly assert itself in the digital wellness category. But ‘ergonomics’ felt like a corporate, dated space for many consumers – so we set out to blow off that dust with an approach to ergonomics that’s simple, vibrant, youthful, and confident.
Jury member Murat Soygenis FAIA, Founding Partner at S+ ARCHITECTURE noted that, “The projects submitted to IDA represent a wide range of current trends in architecture and cover almost all parts of the globe. Innovative use of materials, unique spatial arrangement, harmony with the environment and care for sustainability issues are factors that made the submitted projects stand out while being part of the current trends.”
“The sustainability trend was definitely incorporated in many designs. Attention and respect for the environment is not only an ethical issue but also a business issue. Consumers are becoming more and more receptive to this topic and are looking for designers to teach them how to look great while generating the least possible impact on waste and pollution,” commented jury member Cristiano Magni, President and Founder, Cristiano Magni Public Relations.
Congratulations to all IDA 2020 winners! Entries are now open for the 15th edition of the IDA:
