The International Council of Design (ICoD;[1] formerly known as ico-D,[2] International Council of Communication Design or Icograda, which was formerly an initialism for International Council of Graphic Design Associations)[3] is an international organisation representing the professions of design. The Council was founded in London in 1963 and celebrated its 50th anniversary on 27 April 2013.[4][5] It is a non-profit, non-partisan, "member-based network of independent organisations and stakeholders working within the multidisciplinary scope of design."[4]

The membership of the Council is composed of national entities including professional design associations, design promotion bodies and design education institutions. Design media are affiliated through the International Design Media Network (IDMN).[4]
