LogoLounge is an annual publication featuring the best logos from around the world. It is every design agency’s ‘must have’ reference book. Over 28,000 logos were judged by an international panel of design luminaries from Wolff Olins, Interbrand, Research Studios, Jerry Kuyper Partners and Communication Arts among others and 2000 logos were chosen, full to the brim with inspiration, higher thinking, and craftsmanship.
grow, a successful and refreshingly creative advertising and design agency based in Doha (http://www.growqatar.com) was among the few to have been chosen. Their logo “Manhattan” which is the exclusive bar in the new Ramada Plaza Hotel in Doha is being featured in the LogoLounge 2008 Annual. This represents a first, not only in Doha but also in the GCC, that a locally-based advertising and design agency’s work has been chosen for inclusion in a prestigious international design reference publication.
“ We’re delighted!” said Gordon Mackenzie, General Manager of Ramada Plaza Hotel Doha. “I always knew that grow would create excellent identities for all our 11 food and beverage outlets. It was a very important assignment as the new Ramada Plaza Doha was determined to be ‘the place to stay, the place to dine and the place to be in Doha’. This recognition for grow only serves to underpin our choice of them as our creative agency.”
Anthony Ryman, Managing Director of grow commented “ When grow was set up to articulate Qatari companies’ positioning and differentiation on the global stage, we knew that we needed an outstanding creative offer. This is why we have an award-winning team – the only locally-based advertising and design agency in the Middle East to have won awards in Japan and USA. This inclusion in LogoLounge is testament to our commitment to win awards for our clients at an International level.” |
