Inaugural Wolda judges announced
The three-tier jury comprises 10 design professionals selected by Icograda, 10 marketing managers representing major international clients selected by Aquent and finally 10 members of the public, representing the ultimate target market of consumers, selected by Consumers International.
The judging mechanism (www.wolda.org/judges/public ) is intended to reflect the actual process that turns any logo idea into a successful logo: the designers decide what to present to the clients, the clients decide what to present to the public, but in the end it is always the public that decides if a brand is successful. The core of excellence generated by this process is collated in a printed annual, a substantial hard-bound volume of exceptional quality, printed on SAPPI acclaimed papers by Fontegrafica.
