Ammunition Designed Teemo Nominated for a Webby


Ammunition is honored to be nominated for a Webby Award, in the Social Gaming (Handhold Devices) category, at the 17th Annual Webby Awards for our work with fitness adventure game, Teemo.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by The Webby Awards,” says Matt Rolandson, partner at Ammunition. “We wanted to create a health application that places game play and social interaction in the foreground, while keeping tracking and quantification in the background. Most fitness games are based on competition, but Teemo focuses on teamwork instead, letting you work toward a common goal even when you’re apart.”

Winners will be announced on Tuesday, April 30, 2013.

We are very proud to announce that Ammunition partner Brett Wickens has been nominated for the 13th Annual National Design Awards in the category of communication design. The Communication Design Award is given to an individual or firm for exceptional and exemplary work in graphic or multimedia design.

The Awards are bestowed in recognition of excellence, innovation, and enhancement of the quality of life.

Nominations were solicited from a committee of more than 2,500 designers, educators, journalists, cultural figures and corporate leaders from across the country. Nominees must have at least seven years of experience in order to be nominated, and winners are selected based on the caliber of their overall body of work.
