“We’re always working to integrate design into every aspect of Logitech, to be a design company,” said Alastair Curtis, chief design officer at Logitech, “Great design in our teams, our culture, every discipline, comes out in our products and experiences. Design drives us, and the results show.”
“It’s an honor to have the International Design Awards recognize our marketing communications,” said Heidi Arkinstall, chief marketing officer at Logitech. “We want our marketing to reflect our focus on design and bring the product to life for consumers as part of the total brand experience. People connect with our brands because we keep them at the center of everything we design.”
A handful of designers, thinkers and entrepreneurs created the International Design Awards in 2007 as a response to the lack of recognition and celebration for smart and sustainable multidisciplinary design. This year, juries from IDA examined 3,100 entries from 95 countries and chose winners based on the highest achievements in design, creativity, usability and innovation.
