We designed these custom ‘financial tombstone’ awards for our client Milliken & Company in South Carolina, USA. The awards were created to acknowledge a recent acquisition. The design of the ‘financial tombstone’ was created to reflect an abstract paint can as Milliken & Company acquired a paint based business. For these awards, we brushed the metal by hand and inserted a thick back printed acrylic panel to both sides of the award. We added a heavy weight inside the award so it would stand level and return to a horizontal plane when placed on a surface. A very modern and clean design that was well received by the recipients.
