“Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Apple’s head of industrial design Jonathan Ive were in London last night to collect coveted design awards from Design and Art Direction (D&AD),” Jonny Evans reports for Macworld UK. “Ive took perhaps his biggest professional recognition yet, a special award in recognition of his world-class achievements in design. He was awarded the D&AD President’s Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Industry. This award is chosen by D&AD president Dick Powell… Thrilled, Ive accepted the award. Jobs then climbed the stage, hugged Jonathan Ive and took the microphone to deliver an upbeat speech praising Apple’s legendary designer.”
Apple took home Silver Awards for both the fourth-generation iPod and iPod mini in the ‘Products for the Home’ category (Yellow Pencil) and a Silver Award (Yellow Pencil) for the Cinema Display in the ‘Product for Work and Industry’ category.
Macworld UK has images from last night’s event available and the full article here.
MacDailyNews Take: It’s nice to see Apple’s current CEO and the future CEO get along so well. That bodes very well for Apple. Congrats all around!

You go, girl! Um… boy!
Jobs asks Ives not to speak! Who was awarded the President’s award? Let Ives shine.
Very gracious of you.
Not clever.
Every consider that Ive did not wish to speak? If not, consider it, because that’s why Jobs spoke.
Actually, if you read the article, it says that winners do not give acceptance speaches. Jobs asked if he could say something because it was the President’s Award and they agreed.
Well done guys!
UK Designers are the best in the world!
MacWorld article UPDATED;
“Though no acceptance speeches were given by other awards recipients, Jobs had previously told the D&AD; that he would like to say something about Ive. Given that Ive was receiving a President’s Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Industry, the D&AD; agreed to this.”
The above paragraph did not appear in the original report.
MDN Magic Word: “past”, as in in 25 years in the past, when I was in high school, I used to play AD&D.
does anyone else wish that Jobs would bring back the big ass red bow tie?
that thing was awesome
