Design award renamed after Storm Thorgerson

Posted August 10, 2013 by Floydian Slip

Prog Magazine has renamed its Grand Design Award after late Pink Floyd designer Storm Thorgerson.

Now known as the Storm Thorgerson Grand Design Award, it’ll be given to the designer of this year’s best-packaged product. The nominees are 10cc, Hawkwind, the Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, Peter Blegvard & Andy Partridge, King Crimson, Family, Peter Gabriel, Arve Henriksen and Rush.

Thorgerson, known for his work with Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Black Sabbath and others, died in April.

“Storm’s contribution to prog rock and beyond is incredible,” says Prog Magazine editor Jerry Ewing. “We felt it was only right to pay tribute to the man who has given so much to music through his art.

“The re-titling of the Grand Design award is especially fitting, given that Storm won it at last year’s ceremony for his continued work with Pink Floyd.”

The awards ceremony takes place at Kew Gardens, London, on September 3. Register to vote and become eligible to win prizes from all nominated artists.
