Designing our custom awards is not a simple process. It’s a process that takes time. It takes patience. It’s a process of trial and error, discussion, debate and detailed consideration.
It’s a process that involves numerous concepts before achieving a result that our design team and our clients are happy with. It’s a process that we dedicate great time and attention to — so when we eventually get to that ‘bingo’ moment and the final concept is decided on, it’s a process that ends in jubilation.
When Yamaha commissioned us to design their elite dealer employee recognition awards, our team tweaked, edited, swapped and changed a whole variety of concepts before achieving the perfect design.
Below is an example of the concepts we initially developed and above is the design that was taken forward for production. From modernized classic trophy shapes, to extravagant designs including a 3D printed tire, you can see the lengths our designers go to when developing concepts to ensure our awards and trophies are distinctly unique, contemporary and compelling.
Working from Yamaha’s brand style guide, each concept meets strict corporate branding requirements and features the organization’s trademark brand logo, font type and brand colors. With a personalized touch for each recipient, the awards are ideal employee appreciation and staff recognition gifts.
We pride ourselves on our ability to create awards with a clean aesthetic – without any visible fixings that detract from the overall design. With this in mind, we decided on a concept that hit the requirements of the Yamaha client brief - and worked practically when it came to production - to achieve an award that combined solidity with a sleek finish.
