- Best Cover Design
The Hook Peninsula

Togher, Cork, tel: 021 4902980, www.corkuniversitypress.com
Designers: Kunnert & Tierney Information Design, www.kunnertandtierney.com
Says Kunnert and Tierney: “"Cork University Press was
our first client when Christian and I started Kunnert & Tierney
back in 1992. Both Christian and I are very proud that 13
years later, we're still working with the Press. In that time-frame
we have designed book covers, jackets, entire books such as The
Honan Chapel –- A Golden Vision as well as catalogues and
sales/marketing material.
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the press in 2000, we were
commissioned with the rebranding of Cork University Press which
included the design and establishment of the CUP logo as well as
the creation of a distinct style and look for publications. That
project and its applications won two silver medals at the
Irish Design Effectiveness Awards in 2001. This award from
Clé will be the eighth award for work done for CUP.
As a design company we have always had a particular love for books
–"maybe it's the knowledge that unlike a brochure or
brand design, a book can live long past our commercial lifespan,
that books can be a legacy we as a company leave behind."
