➜ Short description

One Color Award, organised by Vand International (a design strategist firm based in the UK and Iran), aims to prove that a mono-colour design is not only one of the cheapest and the simplest ways of standing out among rivals, but also, in many designs, creating a greater influence, as well as, showing off the mastery of the designer. The soul of the design should not be camouflaged by a hectic design.

During the years that we have worked in different markets and industries, a common issue in many brand designs has always been shown up ... the purpose of the design has been buried under a vibrant design using too many colours in.

Numerous designers, mistakenly, claim that by using one main colour in designs, they cannot provide an outstanding master-piece. Hence, design strategist of VAND INTERNATIONAL, do believe that a mono-colour design is not only one of the cheapest and the simplest ways of standing out among rivals, but also, in many designs, creating a greater influence, as well as, showing off the mastery of the designer. The challenge is designing a brand in 95% one color. Other 5% can be used to distinguish a name or a sketch.

➜ Submission requirements:

Attendees should upload their design and a short story about the brand. The uploaded file should include 5±1 separate page, in one PDF file. Each page should be 2000 x 2000px and each page in PDF file should include just 1 work.

The nominees will be selected by an international jury 10 days after the deadline, and the winner will be announced after 15 days.
