Marketing & Promotional Design
Award-winning marketing and promotional design from the GDUSA Design Awards, with the firm and the designers credited on every project.
73 award-winning projects
Promotional design is the work that has to move product this quarter, and sports teams have turned it into a discipline of its own. The designer builds a launch system that works on a jersey and on a phone in the same week, and the energy has to come from the system itself. The winners here make a moment feel bigger without losing the brand. The Chicago Blackhawks' black jersey identity took the top award in the 2026 Sports Design Awards for a system that flexed across every touchpoint, and Gotham FC's playoff campaign ran on two colors and momentum. The best promotional designers in the awards are shown here. Open any campaign to see the pieces and learn what made it work.
