Rapunzel Creative Wins Three 2023 Design Awards

The Rapunzel Creative team is proud to announce that we’ve won three digital design awards for projects we’ve completed in the past year. One of these is a Davey award, and the other two were awarded by NJ Ad Club. Read on to learn more about these three achievements.

2023 Davey Awards Silver Winner

Silver Winner in General-Social Good for Websites

The Davey Awards recognize and celebrate creative achievements driven by big ideas, rather than big budgets. In 2023, Rapunzel Creative delivered a fresh website redesign for the Russ Berrie Making a Difference Award. The award, administered by Ramapo College, honors local residents who usher in positive change for their communities.

Design Director and Developer Bruce Tang led the project, which involved a highly visual website featuring previous Berrie award recipients and a clean, streamlined navigation. The new website makes nominating award candidates a breeze with its prominent “Nominate Now” button and easy-to-find nomination criteria.

2023 NJ Ad Club Winner

Every year, the New Jersey Ad Club recognizes outstanding creative talent in the Garden State through the Jersey Awards. This year, Rapunzel Creative is proud to bring home the following awards:

Award of Excellence for Brevolution Logo

Brevolution, a startup that developed a revolutionary system for freeze-drying breast milk, needed the perfect name, logo and brand identity to introduce themselves to the market. Headed by lead designer Leah Higgins, our design team got to work developing a brand identity that effectively communicates who Brevolution is and the convenience they provide to families.

Award of Excellence for Young Audiences Gala invitation

In 2022, Young Audiences Arts for Learning, the nation’s oldest and largest arts-in-education learning network, celebrated their 70th anniversary. And to mark the occasion, they amped up their annual gala to recognize how far the organization has come while looking forward to the future.

Leah Higgins was at the helm on this project as well, which involved creating a luxe gatefold invitation that engages recipients while highlighting the different arts supported by the organization. Young Audiences Arts for Learning wanted an invitation that communicated life, vibrancy and excitement while feeling high-end and forward-thinking. The invitation boasts a special logo for the organization’s 70th anniversary in their signature colors. It blends recognition of the organization’s roots with a progressive, innovative feel by combining their sun logo with lines reminiscent of a musical staff, a nod to their past. The lines rise in the middle and terminate at a higher point than they began, symbolizing continued growth.

As we head deeper into this last quarter of 2023, we’re looking forward to the opportunities and collaborations 2024 will bring. Stay tuned; we’ve got a bunch of awesome stuff happening here that we can’t wait to share with the world!
