Designing an award can be challenging, the message has to be easily understood. The icon of the Red Cross is the symbol of humanitarian aid, so this was my starting point. The goal was to create something straightforward, honest, and a bit raw. The problem of global poverty is bigger than any single person, so the awards had to reflect that. The solution came to only when I began to look at the awards collectively rather than by themselves. Each award makes up part of the cross and only when they are together working as one do we see the symbol emerge.
