Ion Branding + Design

Why we run this crazy contest

Doing good for the world is any organization’s badge of honour. Through our third annual One Good Idea™ contest, we're looking for a project that positively contributes to the well-being of our world. We believe that at its core, sustainability is an expression of the desire to find balance and harmony among the competing social, economic and environmental drivers of culture. It’s about trying to fashion a better society. While most would agree that we all want to make a difference, we would probably also agree that we feel overwhelmed about how to make it real. Our One Good Idea™ contest endeavors to remind people that even small steps can contribute to massive change. One Good Idea™ is all it takes.

“We have done a lot of pro bono work over the years, but until we created this contest, it never really had a focus,” says Ion Branding + Design co-founder David Coates. “We believe that this contest is an excellent opportunity to provide this focus and to promote sustainability by helping to develop a tangible product or service that will benefit humankind today.”

Founded in 1988, Ion Design is a Vancouver-based multidisciplinary graphic design studio that develops design and strategic solutions for local, national and international clients.
