Midol® by Bayer Receives Honorable Mention in Fast Company’s 2021 Innovation by Design Awards

Celebrating 10 years of Innovation by Design, the 2021 honorees include nearly 600 projects, products and services from Nike, Verizon, Microsoft and others

Midol®, the No. 1 period relief brand1 by Bayer, received an honorable mention in the Graphic Design category in Fast Company’s 2021 Innovation by Design Awards for the brand’s redesign in 2020.

The 10th anniversary of the awards, which can be found in the October 2021 issue of Fast Company, recognize people, teams and companies that transform businesses, organizations and society through design. One of the most sought-after design awards in the industry, Innovation by Design is the only competition to honor creative work at the intersection of design, business and innovation, recognizing the people, companies and trends that have steadily advanced design to the forefront of the business conversation.

“The Midol brand, which was first introduced in 1911, went through a bold overhaul and relaunched with a new identity including brand colors, logos and imagery,” said Chris Padain, head of Design, Bayer Consumer Health. “Through our team’s great work, Midol is now speaking to today’s consumer not just through updated visual elements, but also through a new message and purpose, demonstrating that it’s as relevant today as it was when it was first introduced.”

“Design is not just a beauty contest,” said Stephanie Mehta, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “It’s something that can change the world and create solutions in a time when we face pressing global issues such as systemic racism, climate change, and a global pandemic. Many of these entries showcase these challenges while providing hope for the future through their steadfast commitment to elevate design.”

Honorees for the 2021 awards were selected in the following categories: Apps and Games; Cities; Data Design; Design Company of the Year; Experimental; Fashion and Beauty; Finance; General Excellence; Graphic Design; Health; Home; Learning; Mobility; Packaging; Products; Retail Innovation; Social Good; Spaces and Places; Sports and Recreation; Students; Sustainability; User Experience; Wellness; Workplace; Best Design Asia-Pacific; Best Design Europe, Best Design Middle East, and Best Design Africa; Best Design Latin America; and Best Design North America. New categories included Advertising, Branding, Impact, Materials, Pandemic Response, Real Estate, and Years in Business.

The judges included renowned designers from a variety of disciplines, business leaders from some of the most innovative companies in the world, and Fast Company’s own writers and editors. Entries were judged on the key ingredients of innovation: functionality, originality, beauty, sustainability, user insight, cultural impact and business impact.
