Graphic Design USA Magazine, a leading business-to-business publication for graphic design professionals, has presented Kensington Technology Group with the American Graphic Design Award for its new brandmark and product packaging introduced last year. The award places Kensington, which has won a significant number of new retail placements recently, among the top 1 percent of companies that created new packaging and brandmarks in 2003.

"This award means a lot to us because it recognizes the hard work we've put into a key aspect of marketing and selling our great products," said Tom Russo, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Kensington Technology Group. "More importantly, our new brand focus and packaging helped to significantly increase our sales and placements last year, and we expect that success to continue through 2004 and beyond."

As with all good graphic design, the new Kensington branding and packaging has a bold, consistent look that makes a distinct statement on store shelves and clearly differentiates Kensington products from its competitors.
