Red Dot winner label
The Red Dot quality seal for good and innovative design is perfectly suited as a marketing tool. It distinguishes the best products of the year from their competitors in the market. This internationally renowned Red Dot label generates attention for award-winning design at first glance – be it on packaging, in advertisements, on websites, at the trade fair stand or in TV commercials. The Red Dot's high recognition value enhances brand awareness and contributes to consumers associating your brand with award-winning design quality.
The volumes “Living”, “Doing” and “Working”, which are published worldwide, document the winners of the Red Dot Award: Product Design and present photographs and background information as well as designer profiles. The Red Dot Design Yearbook is considered a reference work, collector's item and archive of award-winning contemporary design.
