HAJOK Design wins with Swedish Glace a German Design Award
The winners of the German Design Award 2018 have been decided. HAJOK Design is to receive the prestigious award for the category Packaging Design for the design of the vegan ice cream Swedish Glace by Langnese. The German Design Award, which has been in existence since 2012, is one of the most prestigious design competitions in the world.
Swedish Glace’s authentic, lively brand design convinced the expert jury. The design brief was to reposition the vegan ice cream as a lifestyle brand to appeal to a young target group with a conscience. Handwritten fonts, individual illustrations and an uncluttered overall appearance convey the honesty of the product. Instead of a black, mainstream design, the brand now presents itself with an airy, uncomplicated look and an eye-catching, strengthened logo.
"We are delighted to receive this international award," says Klaus P. HAJOK, founder and managing director of HAJOK Design. "Winning this award is terrific recognition and confirmation of the high level of our design work and creativity."
