Cosmic Wins Design Award In Creativity Annual Awards Competition
Winning Entry To Be Published In Creativity 38 Annual

Recognized for the design of the 2007 Sovereign Risk Insurance Annual Report

Cosmic Ltd, a full service graphic design firm specializing in annual reports and corporate brochure design, has been selected for publication in The Creativity Annual Number 38, due out in 2008.

Cosmic received a silver award and was recognized for its outstanding design of the 2007 Sovereign Risk Insurance annual report by a panel of judges from some of the most prestigious design firms in the United States.



The annual report was co-produced by graphic designers Sean Collier and David Scott of Cosmic and will be included in The Creativity Annual: a 400 page hardcover book distributed worldwide by Harper Collins.

Originated by Art Direction magazine founder Don Barron, and first held in 1970, the Creativity Annual was one of the first books to showcase leading-edge design. The annual international competition is one of the most prestigious in the industry, and The Creativity Awards competition continues to honor the outstanding work done each year by creative professionals in every discipline. Awards are based strictly on the quality of the submissions, not the size, nor reputation of the firm.

"We are honored and thrilled to be recognized for such an award on an international scale," says Scott. "It’s really a testament to the creativity and hard work we put into this project."

The agency was one of over 2,800 entrants from 45 states and 44 countries, according to the editor and awards director.

Sean Collier

A lot of people have been asking me about the name change and the merging of companies. So, I wanted to take a minute to explain a little about it. My partner in crime, Sean Collier is a good friend and very talented design professional from Bermuda. We actually used to work together and we had a chance to collaborate on a couple of projects throughout 2006. Things went smooth enough to where we entertained the idea of increasing our collaboration efforts. Thus, we decided to tie our businesses together to expand the reach of both of our companies.

As far as the name change goes, I felt it was important to use a name that didn't identify with any one person. As the company grows we intend to grow as a team and not under the authority of any one person. The Studio David moniker didn't fit this vision. Sean was already using the name Cosmic and it was easy to simply incorporate it into the workflow.

Sean is well known as one of Bermuda’s freshest and most progressive graphic designers. Having worked in many areas of the creative field, including printing, web, and design agencies, he has won a host of awards for electronic and print media. Sean graduated Cum Laude from The Savannah College of Arts & Design, Savannah GA in November 1998 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design.

We're both excited to be working together and look forward to a year filled with challenges and growth.
