To receive one Graphis Award is noteworthy, yet Karl Hirschmann (owner of Hirschmann Design) is receiving accolades for 10 of his outstanding logo designs. "Graphis is a place that every designer goes to for insight and inspiration. It is a great honor to have my ideas exhibited with those of other creative professionals that I admire and respect."

In addition to the awards, Hirschmann Design's ten logos will be reproduced in Graphis Logo Design 7, a book published in the spring of 2008: http://www.graphis.com/other_titles/design.php?view=book&id=139

Here is a list of the winners: AIGA Colorado literacy icon, Boulder Associates [concept], CaringFamily, Crocs Mambaz [concept], Hidden Rock Ranch, Loon Lake Investments, TruAd, Velo Coffee Roasters, What's Driving You?, and Vanderhoof Elementary Spelling Bee.

“My approach to designing a logo, is to distill the company or organization down to its essence.” Hirschmann explains, “I strive to create simple and memorable marks that communicate the unique quality of an organization, event, company or product.”
