Suburbia Advertising Designs Prestigious Rock Award

VICTORIA, BC – Suburbia Advertising is pleased to announce it recently designed a new “Rock Award” for the prestigious Vancouver Island Rock Awards, hosted by the Vancouver Island Chapter of the Graphic Designers of Canada.

The Rock Awards celebrates the work of hundreds of designers on Vancouver Island – the rock – and recognizes design excellence in categories ranging from visual identity to web design.  The 2008 Rock Awards will be held on Saturday, May 24th at the University of Victoria Faculty Club.

Suburbia designed the new Award with the Island in mind. Each Rock Award is a unique, hand-picked, flat river rock.  No two rocks are the same; each is different in shape and colour. The award is very tactile with minimal embellishment and representative of timeless beauty. 

“Suburbia came to mind right away when we were considering a redesign of the award,” says Kirsty Armstrong, Past President of the Vancouver Island Chapter of the Graphic Designers and Chair of the 2008 Rock Awards Steering Committee.  “The new award is unique and contemporary – we are very happy with the result.”

“This was a terrific project,” says Jeremie White, Partner and Design Director at Suburbia. “We really hope that Rock Award recipients will enjoy the new look and feel.  Although we will not be attending this year, we are sure it will be a fantastic event.”

Based in Vancouver and Victoria, Suburbia Advertising is a leading retail branding agency in Canada and one of BC’s top 10 ad agencies.
