About overall winner
One Degree has been developed on a simple premise: that if everyone were to change their behavior by just one degree, we can change the future of the planet. The logo combines both the number and the degree symbol, which together represent a person. In doing so, it neatly encapsulates the real impact that an individual can start to make in addressing climate change.
About Wolda Talent winner
The "Super Kraft" logo is an artwork for a Japanese music label. Just because western language sounds very cool to Japanese, a German name was chosen for the label. Apart from its German sound, the name should be also easy to pronounce. The word "Super" is often used in Japan and "Kraft" sounds very german because of the "kr" syllable. The logo let people think of an industrial product - a super glue from Germany. So it shows an elephant hanging headfirst on the logo name.
