今年是 Good Design 设计奖的第五十周年庆。Good Design设计奖 的前身是由国际贸易和工业部在1957年建立的Good Design Selection System。“设计”的理念和方法论是日本二战后经济和社会全面飞速发展的一个重要因素，设计在促进了经济与社会文化发展做出巨大贡献的同时，自身也得到了很明显的提高。它从一个设计概念的形成，到设计作品的完成再到设计产品的生产，使创意得以实现。我们也可以预计，创意设计将成为21世纪推动工业和社会发展的强大动力。

　 On this 50th anniversary of the G-Mark, they are launching activities to rebuild the role played by the system by returning to its roots. Unlike 50 years ago, Japanese industry and design have achieved high status in the international community. They believe that the Good Design Awards will play an important role in benefiting international society by presenting in a concrete fashion how some things can only be achieved through design. As they take a new step forward on this 50th anniversary occasion, they look forward to the participation of very many corporations and designers in the Good Design Awards, and invite your support and cooperation on an ever wider scale.
