Once again, we're honored to win in our favorite category at the Transform Awards - 'Best visual identity by a charity, NGO or nonprofit.' We took home Bronze for our work rebranding the Vision Zero Fund. (We've already won gold, silver and bronze in previous years). We like the Transform Awards as they judge rebrands not just on design, but on strategy and effectiveness as a complete brand transformation.
