A mark for the press

The roundel that will sit on the spine and title page of every book we publish.


Every book from Award Winning Creations will carry the same small mark: a roundel with an open book at its centre and a ribbon marker hanging from the spine.

It follows an old habit of printers and publishers, who put a device on their books so a reader could tell at a glance where a book came from. On the spine the lettering drops away and only the inner disc remains, about six millimetres tall. On a title page or a screen, the full roundel names the press and the city it works from.

The lettering is set in EB Garamond, the same typeface used throughout this site.
