DESIGN

The Brief

Developing a nature-inspired identity for the UK’s fastest growing literary prize, The Wainwright Prize, which celebrates writing on nature and conservation. Agile developed a motif that seamlessly intertwines the wild world and the written word, homing connotations of the leaf, mountain, river and quill. Partnering annually with a new, unique resident artist, each year of the esteemed Wainwright Prize campaign delights and attracts a growing readership and loyal fanbase.
