Minneapolis (August 2002) - Compass Design, the brand identity and package design firm in Minneapolis, will have 25 packaging and logo designs featured in Global Corporate Identity 2002, Volume 18.

"It is very unusual for a firm to enter 25 pieces and have all of them chosen for a book," says editor David E. Carter. He adds that Compass Design's submissions were chosen for "overall design excellence" from more than 3,000 entries.

The Compass team also was a bit surprised by the volume of their accepted entries.
