In 2020, a total of 6,992 creative projects and brands from 50 countries entered the Red Dot competition. Tasked with selecting and honoring brands that had demonstrated sentiment “in search of good design and creativity”, the 24 international jurors assessed the entries online with special attention given to the concept, idea and impact. Ultimately, those that convinced the experts that their design was of high quality and creative achievement received a distinction.

Kaspersky conducted the rebrand in June 2019, introducing a new logo and visual identity and bringing a new philosophy of digital security for a brighter tomorrow. The new branding reflects the company’s vision of the future and its approach to business. Kaspersky is now moving beyond the anti-virus laboratory and becoming a technological leader with an advanced and comprehensive portfolio of security solutions and services. 

Kaspersky’s new brand was also recognized when it received the Brand of the Year award in the Anti-virus Software category at the World Branding Awards in November 2019.

This latest award is not the first time Kaspersky has won a Red Dot prize – in 2017 the company’s interactive online platform Earth 2050, which provides a futuristic image of what the world will look like in 30 years’ time, was awarded the Red Dot Best of the Best award. In 2015, Kaspersky’s interactive learning site One Dollar Lesson, that demonstrated basic principles of online security using the example of a one dollar virtual journey, got a Red Dot Award in the Communication Design/Website category.

The winning submissions from the Red Dot Awards 2020 will be made publicly available online on the Red Dot website from October 2020. The International Yearbook Brands & Communication Design 2020/2021 will be released in November 2020. In addition, the Kaspersky brand will be showcased in various exhibitions, giving all those interested the opportunity to see the brand’s quality for themselves.

In order to appraise the diversity in the field of design in a professional manner, the Red Dot Design Award breaks down into the three disciplines of Red Dot Award: Product Design, Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design and Red Dot Award: Design Concept. With more than 18,000 entries, the Red Dot Award is one of the world’s largest design competitions. In 1955, a jury convened for the first time to assess the best designs of the day. In the 1990s, Red Dot CEO Professor Dr. Peter Zec developed the name and brand of the award. Ever since, the sought-after distinction “Red Dot” has been the revered international seal of outstanding design quality. The award winners are presented in the yearbooks, museums and online.
