Southeastern wins graphic design awards

The Southeastern Louisiana University Office of Marketing and Communications was recognized for graphic design by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts with two Communicator Awards. The office was recognized with an Award of Excellence in the General – Education Website category and an Award of Distinction in the Design Features – Overall Design category for the university’s Centennial logo.

The Award of Excellence, the highest honor, is given to those entrants whose ability to communicate positions them as the best in the field, while the Award of Distinction is presented to projects that exceed industry standards in quality and achievement.

With thousands of entries received from across the United States and around the globe, the Communicator Awards remains one of the largest and most competitive programs honoring excellence in marketing, communication and creative work.

This year’s Award of Excellence recipients include standouts such as Netflix, NASA, Oliver Wyman, George P. Johnson Experience Marketing, Getty Museum, Apple, PepsiCo, McKesson, Savannah College of Art and Design, The Walt Disney Company, NBCUniversal, Zeta Global, Bank of America and many others.

“In a year where our theme was ‘Communication is Connection,’ it was moving to see how this idea came to life in the work,” said AIVA Managing Director Lauren Angeloni. “Whether centered around emotionally resonant storytelling or marketing effectiveness case studies, the entries reflected the power of communication to bridge gaps between people, platforms, and perspectives. We’re proud to celebrate such a dynamic group of honorees. And we’re deeply grateful to our jurors, who, as always, brought care, curiosity and deep insight to every review.”

The awards are judged by the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts (AIVA), an invitation-only body of over 500 industry leaders from top brands and agencies. This year’s Jury included professionals from Google, Accenture Song, Smithsonian, Microsoft, Digitas, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Publicis, Spotify, Johns Hopkins, Critical Mass, Amazon, The Andy Warhol Museum and many more.
