BY: Kathy BullMay. 05, 2010
The North Carolina Children and Nature Coalition (NCCAN!), a project of the N.C. Zoological Society, now has an ADDY® award-winning logo, designed and donated by Cary Murphy of Artizen, Inc. in Charlotte.
The ADDY® is awarded by the American Advertising Federation (AAF) – Charlotte. Artizen received the award for its design on behalf of NCCAN! and the NC Zoological Society. The logo features the organization’s name with a child rising above and playing in leaves.
NCCAN!, a statewide coalition under the umbrella of the N.C. Zoological Society, works with the N.C. Zoo and other stakeholders to create a cultural shift across the state that promotes children getting outdoors, engaging in play and connecting to nature.
“NCCAN!'s vision is that children will have the opportunity to value, discover and experience the natural world around them,” said Kathy Bull, external affairs director for the N.C. Zoo Society and chair of the NCCAN! Coalition. “NCCAN!'s mission is to establish a relationship between children and the natural world by bringing together people and organizations to strengthen, broaden and support efforts that build these connections.”
Artizen Studios in Charlotte is a cross media art and design studio including website, multimedia, collateral, print, brochure, interactive and animation.
The ADDY® Awards are the advertising industry’s largest and most representative competition, attracting more than 50,000 entries every year in local ADDY® competitions. The mission of the ADDY® competition is to recognize and reward creative excellence in the art of advertising.
