Ever wish you could get your work a little more noticed? Be rewarded for your efforts a little more? The

International Visual Identity Awards

have been created to offer you precisely that.

For too long, visual and brand identity awards have been handed out as part of larger creative competitions and we felt that it was time for a change.

We are the first independent international design competition dedicated to visual identity. Our mission is to give good visual identity design the exposure it deserves and formally recognise and celebrate the world’s most outstanding brand work.

There are 20 categories:

•
