The Communicator Awards celebrates excellence and innovation in communication across industries and formats. Part of the ever-expanding universe of The Webby Awards, this international program is reviewed by the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts — with jurors from Amazon, Disney, Spotify, Wired, Time, and beyond. We created the hero imagery and communication design for the 2023 campaign, drawing inspiration from the tagline Communication is Timeless. The concept centers around the infinity symbol — a visual metaphor for the lasting power of human connection. Midway through the process, we found ourselves torn between two equally strong visual directions. Instead of choosing one, we embraced the theme in the most literal way — and used both. Because timeless communication doesn’t follow a single path.
