SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - April 8, 2009) - Recognizing the company's exceptional product and transportation design capabilities, TEAGUE recently received two Red Dot Design awards and three Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) Northwest Design Invitational (NWDI) awards.

"Winning is always such a pleasant surprise," stated John Barratt, TEAGUE president and CEO. "It's a testament to our team's talent as well as the relevance of our work."

TEAGUE's award-winning designs include: 

--  Rockwell Collins Venue High-Definition Cabin Management System, Winner
    of the 2009 IDSA NWDI Gold (Transportation Design) and Red Dot Product
    Design Award: Representing the future of cabin management for private and
    business jets, Venue incorporates the latest in-flight technologies and
    user-friendly solutions. Because its software is configurable, it can be
    customized for the needs of any jet cabin. The system's design, cost and
    easy-to-use features make it the ideal solution.
    
--  Hewlett-Packard MediaSmart Connect, Winner of a Red Dot Product Design
    Award: The compact DVM is the perfect combination of performance,
    functionality, expandability, efficiency and beauty with the power to turn
    any HDTV into a next-generation connected TV.
    
--  Emirates Airline G6 777, Winner of the 2009 IDSA NWDI Gold
    (Transportation Design) Award: The G6 is a revolutionary architecture for
    the Door 1 Entry and First Class Cabin. The first architecture of its kind
    in aviation history, the design features vaulted ceilings with LED star
    lighting to replicate the sky.
    
--  Microsoft Shell Laptop Concept, Winner of the 2009 IDSA NWDI Silver
    (Concept Design) Award: Intended to harmonize with the home environment,
    the design concept avoids aesthetics traditionally associated with laptop
    computers, opting instead for a visually reduced design that focuses on
    experience and engagement.
