Accordion wrap wins Digital Output Application of the year. Iconography Studios congratulates our lead graphic designer Jan-Michael Mislang on yet another prestigious award in the digital graphics industry.
Jan took on one of our most interesting projects to date, with the design, production and installation of a graphic wrap on an accordion. Iconography Studios was nominated for this award for Jan’s work by Roland DGA Corporation, and received first place in Digital Output’s Application of the Year Award.
This challenging project drew on a range of Jan’s unique skills as both an accomplished graphic designer and a talented vinyl installer. Jan also learned some new skills along the way, such as how to disassemble and reassemble an accordion!
Accordion Wrap & Accordion Player Wins Multiple Awards
This custom wrapped accordion belongs to Cory Pesaturo, an American multi-instrumentalist from Cumberland, Rhode Island, who plays the accordion, piano, clarinet, and saxophone. In 2002, Pesaturo became the youngest person to win the National Accordion Championship.
In 2009, Pesaturo won the Coupe Mondiale World Digital Accordion Championship in Auckland, New Zealand, and became the first American to win a World Accordion Championship since Peter Soave 25 years earlier. In 2011, Pesaturo won the Primus Ikaalinen World Acoustic Accordion Championship, as its first American contestant. In 2017, he broke the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous playing of the accordion, which was sponsored by Red Bull from his relationship with the Red Bull F1 Team. In 2009, Pesaturo won the Leavenworth International Championship and International Jazz Championship.
