We’ve been working with A’ Design Award and Competition for many years now and we appreciate how hard they work to reward and spread the word about good design all over the globe. This year, we’re excited to share the World Design Rankings (WDR) from the A’ Design Award in 2014, which features the design rankings of countries based on the number of design awards won. I’m even more excited that the United States is leading the pack of 79 countries with 174 awards! I’m very proud that the US is being recognized for great design. Congrats to all the winners, but a special “hooray” to all you out there from the United States who are actively sharing your great design work with the world.
