I’m very excited to hear of Unit Editions latest release – Manuals 1: Design & Identity Guidelines. The book is the first comprehensive study of corporate identity design manuals, and features 21 examples from the 1960s to early 1980s. Included are manuals created for NASA, Lufthansa, British Steel and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Pre-order a copy at Unit Editions.
We are interested in designs that produce an image of strength, optimism, unity and/or urgency in the fight against climate change and drive for energy independence .
Your design can be general (”We Can Do It”), or it can promote a specific action like riding a bike, changing a light bulb, hang-drying your clothes or purchasing renewable energy from your power company. We are also interested in designs that deal more abstractly with the themes of utopia/dystopia, ecology and/or revolution.
To prepare your design for upload make the file a jpg no more than 2MB. Make it 8.5” x 11” at 72 dpi RGB (not CMYK). You can make the design different dimensions but then will have to put a border around it for the site to accept the image. Total file size or canvass size for the image needs to be 8.5” x 11”. These specs are for upload only. You may want to consider making a higher res version of your design. If we end up distributing your design we are probably going to want that higher res version.

Comic strips (or Sequential Art ) has become in the last century a form of communication that uses icon to represent reality and to interpret it as well. The 2014 award wants to invite to produce a new reality that is imbued with kindness, attention and care towards others, the environment and the planet.
We imagine Kindness as an attitude that goes beyond good manners and courtesy. The Kindness we imagine is a set of sincere quality: gratitude, patience and respect, love and care for the environment and for the animals . Therefore Kindness as a distinctive indicator of well-being of society.

Ourtype on twitter: “Sansa is the font of choice of Belgium’s food emporium Delhaize.”
Indeed, they use Fred Smeijers’s warm, informal typeface on a lot of different packaging design, as the main, the secondary typeface, or even in distressed form like on the charcuterie products below. (The website of Delhaize deserves a post on its own, using FF Netto as webfonts.)
