The Guardian’s relaunch issue has won a rare and much-coveted Black Pencil Award (only two were awarded this year) at the D&AD Global Awards in London. The Black Pencil (or “Gold Award”) is only awarded for work that “breaks the mold or sets a new standard of excellence in creativity.”

Past Black Pencil winners include Wieden+Kennedy UK for the Honda Grrr ad (2005) and Apple for the iPod (2002) and Jonathan Ive’s colored iMacs (1999).

Congrats to Art Director Mark Porter and The Guardian crew!
