NEW YORK, N.Y. – Pornhub, the premiere online destination for adult entertainment, today announced several creative additions to its 2nd Annual Awards Show. Famed British Art Director and Graphic Designer Peter Saville will design the award statues to be given to award winners and musicians Ian Isiah, Kali Uchis, Rico Nasty and Tommy Genesis will be performing. Popular American artist, producer and songwriter Benny Blanco will be joining the show and serving as Musical Director.

 

“We’re very excited to announce the additions of several creatives to the 2nd Annual Pornhub Awards Show. Peter Saville is absolutely legendary, having had some prolific output that has gone on to inspire entire generations of creatives,” said Corey Price, VP, Pornhub. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Ian Isiah, Kali Uchis, Rico Nasty and Tommy Genesis take the stage with Bad Bunny on October 11th. We are so lucky to have such complementary talents entertaining for us on our big night. ”

 

The 2nd Annual Pornhub Awards will honor the best in adult entertainment and celebrate the biggest and best in each of Pornhub’s unconventional categories, as well as the top channels and most popular networks. Taking place on October 11, 2019 at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, the star-studded event will be hosted by industry legend and Pornhub Brand Ambassador Asa Akira. The show will feature several musical performances headlined by chart-topping Puerto Rican singer, rapper and producer Bad Bunny. Willo Perron is returning as the show’s Creative Director.

 

“Pornhub approached me with an invitation to conceive an award design - the unexpected nature of the request was intriguing to me and I was excited to give it a try,” said Saville. “Following the inspiration of ‘chemistry’, I researched the hormones associated with sexual arousal. As I learnt on 'day one' working with the legendary Suze Randall - it’s all about chemistry!” 

 

Having made his name as a co-founder and art director of Factory Records, where he created seminal artwork for amongst others Joy Division and New Order, Peter Saville is deemed one of the most influential designers of all time, having inspired the likes of Jonathan Ive and Virgil Abloh, to name but a few. Saville’s iconic design for the cover of Joy Division’s 1979 debut album, “Unknown Pleasures” remains one of his most well-known works and this year celebrates its 40th anniversary as perhaps the most enduring image of the post-punk era. Through the years, collaborations and capsules featuring his innovative designs have been made by Raf Simons, Supreme, adidas, Paco Rabanne, Lacoste, Dr. Martens, Hennessy and others. Saville has also become an important figure in fashion, with recent work including the redesign of the Calvin Klein and Burberry logos.
