SEOUL, South Korea — Samlip, the leading South Korean food and beverage company, announced on March 6th that it has secured two "Winner" titles at the prestigious iF Design Award 2026.
The iF Design Award, established in 1954 in Hannover, Germany, is one of the world's most renowned design competitions. Alongside Germany’s Red Dot Design Award and the United States’ IDEA, it is considered one of the "Big Three" global design honors, evaluating excellence across various disciplines including product, packaging, and communication design.
Double Victory in Branding & Communication
Samlip’s accolades came in the Branding & Communication Design category for its innovative brands: Jammy’s and Golden Moments.
1. Jammy's: Visualizing the Joy of Taste
Jammy’s is Samlip’s specialized cookie line featuring rich jam fillings. The branding strategy focused on intuitively conveying the message of "The Joy of Taste."
The Logo: The design features a clever double-arrangement of the letter 'm'. This visualizes the phonetic sound "Mmm," commonly made when savoring delicious food, effectively turning a sensory experience into a graphic identity.
The Appeal: The judges praised its playful yet clear communication, which resonates with consumers looking for a delightful snack experience.
2. Golden Moments: Capturing Premium Dessert Rhythms
Targeting the gift-giving market, the dessert brand Golden Moments was recognized for its sophisticated visual storytelling.
The Concept: The branding translates the fleeting, happy moments of enjoying a premium dessert into rhythmic, elegant patterns.
The Aesthetic: The logo incorporates the subtle glimmer of light, adding a layer of luxury and refinement suitable for a high-end gift brand.
Strengthening Global Design Competitiveness
Through these awards, Samlip has demonstrated its ability to go beyond traditional food manufacturing, proving its prowess in lifestyle branding and visual communication. By winning on a global stage, the company reinforces its position as a trendsetter in the international food industry.
"These awards are a testament to Samlip’s commitment to providing not just great taste, but a complete sensory and emotional experience through design," a company representative stated.
Samlip plans to continue leveraging high-level design strategies to enhance its brand value and connect more deeply with global consumers who prioritize both quality and aesthetic appeal.
