The official logo of the Global Design Industry Organization (GDIO) has finally come out!

Since December 2019, the logo collection event for GDIO has been launched  around the world, which has received great supports and positive responses from  many excellent international designers and design organizations. After careful evaluation in all aspects including aesthetics, utility, and meaning, the design by Mr. Antony Margiasso from Pininfarina Shanghai Co., Ltd. was selected as the official logo of GDIO.

This logo design is not only of great originality but also consistent with the vision and mission of GDIO. The inspiration comes from the “Chain” and  “Connection” of the global design community, which means “Work together to Change the World with Design Industry”.

Introduction of the Designer

He is also responsible for establishing processes and practices for  realizing that Vision. Antony has more than 12 years of experience in several design areas: Product, Transportation, Interior, Graphic & Packaging,  Branding & Identity, Experience (Design).
