50. Berliner Type

It is now 50 years ago that university professors, designer associations, agency owners, typeface designers and typographers created the "Berliner Type" with the noble goal: a competition for printed verbal and visual information and means of communication.

Fifty years later, a top-class jury made up of creative people, clients and production experts awarded their prizes: one gold, ten awards and 41 diplomas. All submissions are subjected to an examination in the areas of concept and text, graphic design, typography, illustration and photography, realization (repro, printing, bookbinding processing).

The award-winning printed works from Germany, Austria and Switzerland are presented on more than 200 pages. The introduction provides an outline of the development of typography over the past 50 years. The elaborately designed yearbooks offer a representative view of the German design and agency scene.
