Just a heads-up for our design friends: ArtVersion popped up in Awesomic’s blog list “Top 30 Branding Agencies for Startups in 2025”! Rather than being a formal ranking, it’s more of a curated spotlight for startups looking for branding partners as they scale. Awesomic went through numerous agencies to curate their Top 30 list for Series A and B startups, focusing on those that can help branding feel strategic rather than just aesthetic
Why It Matters (In a ’Let’s Talk’ Way)
We love that Awesomic’s list is all about helping early-stage brands discover agencies that understand startup vibes. Seeing ourselves in that mix isn’t about being the “best”—it’s about solidarity, shared values, and being part of a broader design conversation.
Art Director Petra Campbell summed it up:
“It’s cool when our work gets noticed by the startup world. This mention reminds us that our approach resonates—and that we’re part of a network moving design forward, one project at a time.”
Continuing the Conversation
Mentions like this aren’t just about visibility. For us, they’re reminders that design is a shared practice—built on conversation, critique, and constant learning. At ArtVersion, we see every recognition as a nudge to keep contributing to the design community in ways that matter.
That’s exactly why we made VERSIONS® (versions.com)—a platform dedicated to publishing insights, documenting discoveries, and opening up the processes that shape modern design. It’s our way of moving the industry forward, not just by delivering projects, but by sharing knowledge and creating space for dialogue among designers, strategists, and brands.
Our commitment runs deep: design isn’t a side discipline for us—it’s the foundation of everything we do. From branding startups to guiding Fortune 500 teams, we approach each project as a chance to experiment, refine, and ultimately contribute back to the field.
This mention isn’t about trophies—it’s about community. It’s a reminder that when agencies highlight each other’s work, we all stay inspired and elevate what’s possible in design.
