Judge of Design is an international award and digital trust badge that recognizes design which delivers measurable business impact – from retail products and packaging to interiors and residential architecture.
A single, recognizable mark for design that combines aesthetic excellence with measurable business impact across all industries.
Display across packaging, presentations, and all customer touchpoints.
Design is not decoration. Thoughtful product and spatial design directly drives sales, loyalty, and long‑term brand equity across every industry.
Customers and partners rely on independent signals of quality when they cannot test or experience everything themselves, especially in premium segments.
Judge of Design is operated by design, branding, and marketing enthusiasts who study the world's leading awards and benchmark against award‑winning work every month.
The Judge of Design emblem is built visually and conceptually to sit alongside existing trust marks and instantly communicate excellence to customers.
Each month, we review projects from around the world and publish a curated Top 10 in each industry, alongside Judge of Design winners for that cycle.
Whether you design consumer products, digital interfaces, hospitality spaces, or homes, choose the category that best reflects your work's context.
Provide imagery, the problem you solved, your design process, and any metrics or feedback that demonstrate impact on users and the business.
The jury assesses aesthetics, usability, innovation, and commercial relevance, referencing best practices from leading international design platforms.
We publish a Top 10 list in each industry and announce Judge of Design projects for that month, giving your work visibility and authority.
Winners receive the digital badge assets and a permanent listing, enabling them to showcase recognition across marketing, sales, and investor communications.
Judge of Design covers multiple industries so that the best product, space, and experience designs can be recognized on equal yet context‑aware terms.
Physical products, furniture, consumer electronics, and everyday objects that blend form, function, and desirability.
Branded packaging and structural design that stand out on shelf, communicate clearly, and enhance the product experience.
Interfaces, apps, and digital services that solve problems with clarity, usability, and visual refinement.
Hotels, restaurants, stores, and experiential spaces where spatial design shapes atmosphere, flow, and memory.
Houses and living spaces that balance beauty, comfort, and everyday usability, from apartments to luxury villas.
Offices and workspaces that support productivity, wellbeing, and brand culture through thoughtful spatial design.
Recognition is only meaningful if it helps your business grow. The Judge of Design badge is designed to increase trust, sharpen positioning, and support premium pricing.
Accreditation‑style emblems increase customer confidence and conversions by reducing perceived risk at the moment of decision, especially online.
An independent design award supports a clear narrative in sales decks, pitch meetings, and retail negotiations.
