Hasta La Ideas

D&AD‘s famous award scheme has been running since 1962, and so to celebrate and also to encourage entries to its 50th awards, the organisation has created a kind of greatest hits video, highlighting winners from the last half century…

The 50th awards also has its own identity (shown top), courtesy of Neville Brody who set it in Futura and designed it to function as a graphic identity – but also as an identity that can be represented in any typeface on any document and even as an addition to urls. The awards, rather like CR’s Annual 2012 (see our earlier post), are now open for entries.

So then, who can name every brand featured in the film, and the corresponding agency that brought it D&AD glory?

CR in Print

Not getting Creative Review in print too? You’re missing out.

In print, Creative Review carries far richer, more in-depth articles than we run here on the blog. This month, for example, we have nine pages on Saul Bass, plus pieces on advertising art buyers, Haddon Sundblom, the illustrator who ensured that Coke will forever be linked with Santa Claus, Postmodernism, Brighton’s new football ground and much more. Plus, it’s our Photography Annual, which means an additional 85 pages of great images, making our November issue almost 200-pages long, the biggest issue of CR for 5 years.

If you would like to buy this issue and are based in the UK, you can search for your nearest stockist here. Based outside the UK? Simply call +44(0)207 292 3703 to find your nearest stockist. Better yet, subscribe to CR for a year here and save yourself almost 30% on the printed magazine.
