‘Power Play’ – USU 2012 annual report wins platinum award again
Moeglingen, Germany, July 18, 2013
‘Simply different’ – for years now, the concept, content and design of USU’s annual report have intertwined to create an overall work that is as entertaining as it is informative. In this year’s contest among the world’s best annual reports, USU’s again clinched the top accolade: The League of American Communications Professionals (LACP), headquartered in San Diego/California, bestowed its platinum award on USU’s 2012 annual report in the ‘Software’ category. More than 6,000 entries from 24 countries were submitted to the LACP and assessed on the basis of various criteria. USU came 66th in the overall rankings of all reports submitted from different sectors. LACP also bestowed a silver award on the company’s financial report.
The jury, comprising international communications experts, awarded 99 out of a possible 100 points for the USU annual report. As a result, USU took first spot in the ‘Software’ category. USU was given the maximum score of 10 points for the report’s narrative, as well as for the cover, creativity, message clarity, financials and information accessibility.
‘Power Play’ is the title and concept of USU’s report, underscoring the profitability and dynamism with which the company has been operating on the market for many years. Due to USU’s successes in internationalizing the group, a bilingual annual report was published for the first time, i.e. in German and English alongside each other. The familiar symbols of ‘Power’ and ‘Play’ were combined to produce an expressive logo for the cover page’s design. The interplay between the analog and digital world is symbolized by further graphical finesses, such as the hint of a tablet PC with the typical swype technique, as well as QR codes and apps that take up and reinforce the content of the page in question.
‘The USU Group’s annual report is much more than just a document we are simply required to prepare, so we’re delighted at this international award,’ says Bernhard Oberschmidt, Chief Executive Officer of USU Software AG, about the fine result.
It is also a tribute to the outstanding work of the experts involved: The Reutlingen-based journalist Raimund Vollmer provided the ideas and shaped the high informational value of the annual report with his concise, yet entertaining style. The Freework Grafik-Design agency from Asperg was responsible for the expressive typography and creative design, while the refined printing work was carried out by Druck- und Medienzentrum Gerlingen GmbH.
