Liszt Academy among best
The Director of Communications at the Liszt Academy, Imre Szabó Stein, was in Berlin on October 24 to personally pick up on behalf of his team the prestigious Red Dot prize. Often referred to as a design Oscar, it was awarded for the Liszt Academy's newly created corporate identity.
The Red Dot Communication Design series of events are held annually in Berlin and represent the highpoint of the year in the creative industry. This is when the leading professional awards are handed out for printed, digital, graphic and written design products. The jury is made up of twenty-four professionals and led by Professor Dr Peter Zec, founder of the Red Dot design prize, and together they select from the 7100 entrants only the best that deserve the quality seal.
As we reported in early September, the prize awarded to the Liszt Academy for its new institutional profile, launched in autumn 2013, including the programme magazine, programme leaflets, name cards as well as the family of logos, makes the judgement that the Liszt Academy is among the most significant of world brands. The value of the prize is augmented because in the most prestigious category of corporate design in which over fifty entries were given awards, the Liszt Academy was the only musical institution in the world to receive such plaudits from the international design elite.
At the Designer's Night, communications chief Imre Szabó Stein who spearheaded the renewal of the Liszt Academy's profile, as well as graphic artist, Anna Farkas, who also represented Allison Advertising Kft who participated as the Liszt Academy's agency, accepted the prestigious prize. An exhibition, displaying the winners of the Red Dot Communication Design 2014, including the Liszt Academy, opened on October 26th in the Red Dot Exhibition at the Berlin Communications Museum, the online version of which can be seen by clicking here.
