Leading organization recognizes Speck's new retail packaging and brand logo as best in class.

Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) April 9, 2007 -- Speck, a market leader in the consumer electronics case category, and Liquid Agency today confirmed that Speck's new retail packaging system and logo have been awarded top honors at the 2007 ADDY Awards. Held March 14th at Yahoo's headquarters in Sunnyvale, California, the annual event recognizes the best creative work produced by agencies in the region. The ADDY Awards, considered one of the most prestigious marketing communications awards in the industry, are sponsored by the AD+ Silicon Valley and nationally renowned American Advertising Federation.

"At Liquid, we're very proud of what we've been able to deliver for Speck," said Alfredo Muccino, Chief Creative Officer at Liquid Agency. "The fact that we received two ADDY Awards from the American Advertising Federation is a bonus - and a testament to Speck's commitment to design and innovation."

Chosen among over 200 entrants, Liquid Agency received a gold award for designing Speck's new retail packaging system and a silver award for designing Speck's logo. The award-winning retail package development process included comprehensive ethnographic research at retail locations as well as a competitive landscape analysis before the design was conceived. Speck's logo, an impactful asterisk inside of parenthesis, is truly a metaphor for the special cases that Speck designs. The versatility of the logo ensured that it would be optimized when reproduced on different materials and through a variety of techniques

"We are tremendously proud to be part of this fantastic achievement," said Anne Costello, Speck's Director of Marketing. "When we partnered with Liquid Agency last fall, we knew that we had teamed-up with one of the best brand marketing firms in the country. The ADDY awards for our new packaging and logo further validate our decision and our commitment to the brand."
