Overview

The Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design is an international competition that recognises outstanding brand design, communication design, and related work across 18 categories. It is run by Red Dot, a long-established German design organisation, and companies pursue it for global visibility, third-party validation, and use of the Red Dot winner label and exhibition/yearbook exposure.
