History
Graphis was founded in 1944 by Walter Herdeg and Dr. Walter Amstutz in Zurich, Switzerland. In 1986, B. Martin Pedersen purchased the company from Mr. Herdeg and later moved the headquarters to New York City. The Annuals were redefined and new books were added to the roster, including New Talent (student work), Typography, Branding, Logo & Letterhead, amongst others.
Awards
Graphis annually invites professionals across the design communities to be considered for inclusion in their books. Amongst these submissions, Graphis selects the most compelling work of the year for Platinum, Gold and Silver awards considerations, which are featured in hardcover Annuals. In addition, Merits and other submissions are now archived permanently at Graphis' website.
