Design Bridge and Partners Wins Grand Prix for Forest Carbon Brand Identity

Design Bridge and Partners took a Grand Prix for Sound Design & Use of Music at the Creative Review Annual Awards 2026 for its work with Forest Carbon. The project also won in the Brand Identity: Rebrand category.

The Forest Carbon identity work earned recognition across two distinct categories. The Grand Prix came in Sound Design & Use of Music: an unusual pairing for a brand identity project. The second win landed in Brand Identity: Rebrand.

Creative Review's Annual Awards recognize work across design, advertising, and digital. The Grand Prix designation marks the top award in each category.

Design Bridge and Partners operates as a brand and design consultancy. Forest Carbon works in carbon offsetting and environmental projects. The specific scope of the rebrand wasn't detailed in the announcement.

The dual wins suggest the project integrated audio as a core brand element rather than a campaign add-on. Brand identity projects typically center on visual systems. Winning a sound design Grand Prix alongside a rebrand category points to audio playing a foundational role in Forest Carbon's new identity.

The awards were announced May 2026. No case study or work samples have been published yet.

Design Bridge and Partners has studios across London, Amsterdam, New York, and Shanghai. The agency works across brand strategy, identity, packaging, and digital design. Past clients include Unilever, Diageo, and PepsiCo.

Forest Carbon operates carbon offset projects in the UK. The company partners with landowners to establish woodland and peatland restoration sites. Their work focuses on long-term carbon sequestration through natural ecosystems.
