THE AIGA MEDAL
C&G Partners is honored to announce that in 2005, founding
partner
Steff Geissbuhler was given the AIGA Medal, the highest award
of the profession, referring to him as the "designer of some of
the most
memorable posters and definitive corporate-identity programs
of the
latter part of the 20th century." An excerpt from the AIGA's description:
AIGA medalists
The medal of the AIGA, the most distinguished in the field,
is awarded
to individuals in recognition of their exceptional
achievements, services
or other contributions to the field
of graphic design and visual communication. The contribution
may be in the practice of graphic design, teaching, writing
or leadership of the profession. The awards may
honor designers
posthumously.
Medals have been awarded since 1920 to individuals who have
set
standards of excellence over a lifetime of work or have
made individual
contributions to innovation within the practice
of design.
Individuals who are honored may work in any country, but
the contribution for which they are honored should have had
a significant impact on the practice of graphic design in
the United States.
