The American Graphic Design Awards are open to everyone: design firms and studios, ad and creative agencies, in-house departments, freelancers, students, and more. It honors the best work of the year in two dozen categories across all print, digital, and interactive media. This year, the competition saw 8,000+ entries and only the top 10% were selected as winners.
CTtransit was recognized in the Surface + Vehicle Graphics category for their campaign, Then & Now: 50 Years of CTtransit, honoring the organization’s upcoming 50th anniversary in 2025. The unique bus wrap design honors the past while creating a bridge to the future, fusing history with modern innovation. Taking inspiration from a scrapbook aesthetic, this design blends newspaper clippings, vintage advertisements, slogans, logos, buttons, and other iconic symbols throughout CTtransit’s history.
“This award is a tribute to five decades of service and innovation. We are proud to mark this milestone with a design that resonates with our community and is recognized by our peers. It is an honor to receive this designation,” said Thomas E. Stringer Jr, CTtransit General Manager.

A key highlight in the award-winning bus wrap design is the inclusion of black-and-white and color photos honoring the professional operators, administrative staff, and more who have helped shape the organization over five decades. At CTtransit, it is often said that the people are heartbeat of the organization, and this bus wrap is a celebration of that spirit. If this bus wrap is any indication, the next 50 years of CTtransit are looking bright.
