For the first time this year, any club member could nominate a Creative Hall of Fame candidate by providing a through case for induction. Nominations were previously provided only by The One Club Board members. Candidates were then voted on by the organizations’ National and International Board, as well as past Hall of Fame inductees.

A shortlist was determined by the selection committee, and nominators/appointed advocates did a presentation to the Board in support of their candidate. A final vote was cast by the Board to select the inductees.

“This distinguished group of 2024 inductees has blazed a trail of innovation, transformed their industries, uplifted underrepresented groups, and continues to inspire the next generation of creative talent. They each made a profound impact but did it in profoundly different ways,” said Glenn Cole, cofounder, 72andSunny, and chairman of The One Club Board of Directors. “As the creative class grows exponentially, and as the creator economy reshapes the world, the Creative Hall of Fame is more relevant than ever. I’m thrilled that The One Club is expanding the scope of disciplines, doubling-down on creative education, and committing to making this an annual iconic moment.”

In addition, Margaret Calvert, OBE RDI, celebrated typographer, type designer, graphic designer, and educator who designed iconic road and rail signs throughout the UK, was named the recipient of the prestigious TDC Medal, presented by the Type Director Club. Calvert will also be honored during the Creative Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
This year’s Creative Hall of Fame black-tie gala induction ceremony will take place on September 5 at Gotham Hall in New York.
