In 2023, RGD – Canada’s largest professional association for graphic designers – introduced a new award program to celebrate the best in branding and design from around the globe.

The RGD Branding Awards needed a brand identity that would attract a panel of international design judges and motivate design studios from around the world to submit entries.

So, to celebrate the most notable branding from around the world, we created an identity made entirely out of branding's most overlooked symbol: the registered trademark (®).
