Pye Design Wins Summit International Award for Nanaimo's 150 Brand

In a notable achievement for local creativity, we are happy to share that we have been honoured with a Bronze Summit International Award in the Logo Design category. This prestigious honour recognizes our work on the logo created to celebrate Nanaimo's 150th anniversary of incorporation.

The Summit International Awards, known for recognizing outstanding design and creative excellence, received nearly 4000 entries from 28 countries, making our win a testament to our innovative talent and local pride. The competition was strong, with a diverse range of brands submitted by top-tier design firms worldwide. This logo stood out for its unique ability to encapsulate Nanaimo’s rich history and vibrant community spirit.

The logo, created to mark Nanaimo's significant milestone, seamlessly blends elements of the city's heritage with a modern aesthetic. It features a stylized representation of Nanaimo's iconic waterfront, intertwined with symbolic imagery reflecting the city's growth and diverse culture. 

Pye Design’s success in this prestigious competition highlights not only our expertise in brand development, but also our deep connection to the local community. The studio's founder, Amy Pye, expressed gratitude for the recognition, emphasizing that the project was a labor of love and a product of collaboration with the city’s Culture Coordinator, Jaime-Brett Sine.

“This award is not just a win for us, but a celebration of Nanaimo's incredible history and community spirit,” said Pye. “It’s been an honour to contribute to such a meaningful project and to have our work recognized on an international stage.”

This is Pye’s third Summit International Award win and adds to their growing list of accolades and further establishes them as a leading force in the design industry. It’s a proud moment for both the studio and the city, underscoring the remarkable synergy between local talent and community.
