If you are driven by good design, let us help you stand out from the crowd with the Good Design® tick of approval.

Good, philosophically speaking, is an abstract term for many, but not for us.

The word good is at the core of everything we stand for. We are passionate about unearthing what good is and what isn’t.

We evaluate and test and argue the merits of good design. We seek to understand what makes the design of a product, a service, a space or an experience good.

Good design doesn’t mean expensive or exclusive - good design means that whatever it is, it works and works well.

Sometimes so well it goes unnoticed.

That’s why we ‘notice’ it for you.

Good design comes stamped with our Good Design® tick - the benchmark for innovation and design. We’ve been setting the international standard for good design since 1958. To get our ‘tick’ means whatever it is - has gone through a rigorous evaluation process conducted by an impartial judging panel of design experts.

We look for the things that give the user a beautiful experience, leaving them with a smile on their face. We’re advocates for those consumers who want an independent seal of approval to ensure the highest quality and best value for money.

If you are an innovative business and have a good design story to tell, then we want to hear from you.

Enter the 2015 Good Design Awards and let us help tell your story to the world.
