Kathy Jacobs Design and Marketing is proud to announce that our creative work for the Mississippi State University SMART Bus wraps and brochure has been recognized with a 2025 GDUSA Design Award, one of the most respected honors in the graphic design industry.


Now in its 62nd year, the GDUSA Design Awards celebrate outstanding creative work across all media and are open to designers nationwide. From more than 6,000 entries, only the top 10% are selected as winners, placing our SMART Bus project among the best design work produced this year.
The award recognizes the strategic design and visual storytelling behind the Mississippi State University SMART Bus, created to increase awareness, engagement, and accessibility through bold, effective transit branding and supporting print materials.
Winning projects will be featured in the GDUSA annual print and online showcase, complete with full creative credits and national exposure. We are honored to see our work recognized on this level and grateful to our clients and collaborators who trusted us with these meaningful projects.
