From our friends at NACCU, press release: 
Phoenix, AZ – April 24, 2017 – The University of Notre Dame’s Irish1Card received the 2017 NACCU Best Card Design Award during the 24th Annual NACCU Conference in Orlando on April 5, 2017. Daniel Tormey accepted the award from ColorID’s Danny Smith.

The NACCU Best Card Design Award, sponsored by ColorID, is presented to the institution who is first selected as one of five finalists by the Awards Committee based on a grading matrix, then receives the most votes from NACCU members prior to and during the NACCU Annual Conference.  The ID card re-design was part of the initial phase of the Irish1Card project, through which the ID card program will be transitioned over to contactless technology. It had been many years since the design was updated and because space was being gained by removing the barcode, therefore it was a good time to move forward with a new look.
 
The Irish1Card staff worked with the University Communications team to develop design options and project sponsors to narrow it down to three designs.  They then held a voting initiative that would allow campus cardholders to vote for their favorite design, which resulted in over 4,600 votes. Announcement of the winning design was used as an opportunity to kick-off the larger communication effort around the Irish1card project.  The card will include the academic mark in gold foil, along with a tactile impression of the university seal.  NACCU congratulates the University of Notre Dame for being the recipient of the 2017 NACCU Best Card Design Award.

This year at the annual NACCU (National Association of Campus Card Users) in Orlando, ColorID was honored to sponsor the 2017 Best Card Design Award.  There were a number of amazing submissions but in the end the voters picked: University of Notre Dame.  Congratulations guys, we are very pleased you won this years award and even more excited that we have been able to work hand in hand on growing their identification program.

Be sure to stop by the ColorID booth at this years IAHSS annual conference in Vancouver, BC April 23-25. We will be present to answer all identification questions.  Safe travels and see you all soon in Vancouver!
