Judges’ comments A striking design that balances simplicity and boldness. Playing with tactility and the eye-catching colours highlight the genius within and give a portrait of a multifaceted talent elegantly. The embossed pink neon signature on blue cloth speaks of Rewi’s enduring legacy, with the absence of subheadings underscoring Rewi’s widespread recognition.
