HTC RECOGNIZED FOR GLOBAL DESIGN LEADERSHIP<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Honoured with Eight Awards, Including the Prestigious IDEA Gold Award<\/em><\/p>\n SINGAPORE \u2013 July 5, 2011 <\/strong>\u2013 HTC Corporation, a global leader in mobile innovation and design, has been honored by three separate international organizations for excellence in product design, reflecting the company\u2019s commitment to creating perfect experiences for everyday life that make consumers\u2019 lives a little better.<\/p>\n HTC\u2019s philosophy of designing mobile phones for the individual passions and pursuits of consumers is reflected in each winning product line, resulting in awards this week from International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA), and earlier in the year from red dot and International Design Awards (IDA).<\/p>\n \u201cCountless HTC employees came together to earn the recognition we received at IDEA 2011, red dot 2011 and IDA 2010,\u201d said Scott Croyle, Vice President of Design at HTC.\u00a0 \u201cOur award-winning designs span multiple disciplines and regions around the world. Our teams listened to and observed customers, recognized their differing needs, and partnered to design products that have these customers\u2019 desires at heart.\u201d<\/p>\n This week, HTC garnered four top awards at the 2011 International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA), known as the \u2018Oscars of Design\u2019, and sponsored by Fast Company <\/em>magazine and the Industrial Designers Society of America, for devices in the Communications Tools<\/em> category.\u00a0 The HTC Droid Incredible was given a Gold award, HTC EVO 4G recognized with a Silver award, and the HTC Legend garnered a Bronze award.\u00a0 Additionally, the HTC Aria was a finalist in the Communications Tool<\/em> category.<\/p>\n \u201cThe rigor of selecting the best of over 2,000 entries culminated in three days of intense dialogue and debate that was stimulating and rewarding for the 20 expert jurors\u2014we are proud of the work we have chosen to represent the best from our profession,\u201d said IDEA\u2019s Jury Chair Davin Stowell, founder and CEO of Smart Design.<\/p>\n Started in 1980 by the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA), the International Design Excellence Awards Program (IDEA\u00ae) fosters business and public understanding about the impact of design excellence on the quality of life and the economy.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n HTC Receives \u2018red dot\u2019 of Approval from Global Jury <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n In March 2011, the HTC won three awards from red dot.\u00a0 The EVO 4G won the highest product design award: the \u2018red dot: best of the best\u2019 award, recognizing trailblazing design.\u00a0 In addition, the HTC Legend and HTC Aria won a red dot, a quality seal awarded to devices with high design quality, that stand apart from comparable products.<\/p>\n Red dot was judged by a jury from across the globe, whose background gives them unique insight to assess the special intercultural aspects of design. The red dot awards are sponsored by the Red Dot Museum in Germany and Singapore. The competition\u00a0 is aimed at all those who would like to distinguish their business activities through design.<\/p>\n \u201cHTC\u2019s drive to connect with consumers through design was apparent in the winning selections,\u201d said Professor Dr. Peter Zec, President of the competition. \u201cEach year we seek out brands that successfully harness the power of design to the masses.\u201d<\/p>\n International Design Awards (IDA) Gives HTC Gold <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n In May 2011, the IDA, a four-year-old awards program honoring smart and sustainable design, recognized HTC\u2019s pioneering design by awarding the HTC Legend a Gold at the 2010 IDA Awards.<\/p>\n “This competition year has been our largest to date, with entries from over 65 countries,” said Jade Tran, competition director. “We were very excited to see design that was so committed to design theory and creating a strong connection between consumer and product. \u00a0HTC certainly exemplified this in the Phone and Communications Technology category.”<\/p>\n A handful of designers, thinkers and entrepreneurs created the International Design Awards in 2007 as a response to the lack of recognition and celebration for smart and sustainable multidisciplinary design.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n # # #<\/em> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n About HTC<\/strong><\/p>\n HTC Corporation (HTC) is one of the fastest growing companies in the mobile industry.
