Monkton, Inc. Announces Multiple Creative Awards for New Brand Identity
Tysons Corner, VA, Sept. 20, 2023 / PRNewswire-PRWeb -- Monkton, Inc., a pioneer and market leader for secure mobility, Edge Computing, and Cloud Native development, won two Muse Creative Awards: a Gold Creative Award for Corporate Identity Redesign and a Silver Creative Award for Logo Design.
Earlier this year, Monkton launched a new brand identity, logo, and website in partnership with Mortensen Designs and The Mega Creative Company. The company's new logo features a star-shaped brandmark known as the "lodestar blossom," inspired by the lodestar's classic meaning—a star used to guide the course of a ship—and Monkton's belief in creatively guiding clients in the right direction. The new brandmark was also inspired by cherry blossoms as a nod to Monkton's commitment to the spirit of Washington, DC. The "burst" at the center of the brandmark represents the various paths to progress Monkton offers its clients.
“Like seasons, Monkton moves through our approach to problem solving in a cycle. We strongly believe in the concept of iterate, improve, repeat. We did that with our new brand and website, and we also do it every day with our clients.”
The MUSE Creative Awards is an international advertising awards platform that celebrates excellence and innovation in creative design, advertising, and digital media. Uniting artists, designers, and creative professionals globally, the awards honor creative crafts that shape compelling narratives and leave a lasting impact on audiences. In 2023, over 6,500 entries were submitted.
"Beyond this prestigious award for our refreshed logo and brand, as well as our new website (monkton.io), I'm personally very excited to show the world where Monkton is going and share what we're doing to help build faster ways to fix things," says Harold Smith III, CEO of Monkton. "Like seasons, Monkton moves through our approach to problem solving in a cycle. We strongly believe in the concept of iterate, improve, repeat. We did that with our new brand and website, and we also do it every day with our clients," says Harold.
Monkton's goal is to develop architectures and capabilities from the ground up as fast as possible, delivering mission-focused solutions that adhere to the strictest security requirements. "We approach problem solving and solution building through advanced architecture designs, DevSecOps, UI/UX, and focusing on Cloud Native and Edge Computing capabilities," adds Harold. Monkton's vision is that security, compliance, and privacy can be accessible for all by creating repeatable solutions for unique mission needs.
"At Monkton, we want to establish that Edge Computing can simplify, be efficient, and consistently adapt in a digital world—without compromising security," Harold explains.
Monkton CMO and Creative Director, Liza Smith, states, "Monkton offers endless potential use cases for rapid technology to solve government challenges today. Our new brand identity signals the immediate value the company brings to the market: develop and build faster ways to fix things for public and private sector customers so they can meet their missions faster."
Liza also notes: "With new products and capabilities expanding later this year, there is so much in store that we're excited to share. Our award-winning brand identity is just the beginning."
