For the fifth year in a row, Graphic Design:usa has honored RainCastle by awarding seven RainCastle projects an American Graphic Design Award.

Of these recent awards, RainCastle president and creative director, Paul Regensburg, said, "It is most gratifying to again be honored by Graphic Design:usa, a highly respected publication in the graphic design and marketing communications industry for almost 40 years. Since only 10% of thousands of entries receive an American Graphic Design Award, we are thrilled to have seven of our projects win recognition. The awards cover the spectrum of our integrated design services and demonstrate our accomplishments within a variety of industries. All of the winners are examples of our successful collaboration with clients, and we thank Graphic Design:usa for the recognition."
