Best COVID Communications of 2020
The COVID communications that won a GDUSA award in 2020, each with the firm and the designers credited.
32 award-winning projects
COVID communications were the one brief every organization got in 2020, with no budget and no time, and the work had to change behavior in a hallway. The designer had to make rules legible at a glance in places never designed for signage, and keep the tone calm. The winners here say one thing clearly and say it kindly. Allina Health's brand team and Oakland County, Michigan each won three times with wayfinding and public notices that people actually followed. The designers who did this work well are shown here. Open any piece to see it and learn what made it work under pressure.
