wilson glove stands - industrial/pos design
These custom designed and handcrafted glove stands were created to match the Major League Baseball awards we just finished for Wilson Sporting Goods. As a part of the players recognition, the players receive a custom sporting trophy as well as a limited edition glove. It was important to Wilson Sporting Goods to have a matching stand to compliment trophy.
bcit 50 year anniversary awards
We were commissioned to create the awards for the 2014 BCIT 50th year anniversary awards ceremony. The above is the final product, a modern award that reflects the clients branding and event theme.
As designers, we do not create our products to simply 'look pretty'. Yes the end result may be pretty but, our role as your award designer is to respond to a brief. And that brief is what we use to design your awards. The design is usually a reflection of a brand, event theme and/or specific communication goals.
Our approach in the creation of your awards is unlike anyone else's in the trophy/awards industry; we are designers (not trophy shop operators) and have a deep understanding of branding and 'physical branding'. This allows us to create unique, meaningful and beautiful awards and trophies for our clients.
new eco awards: two-tone bamboo
We have just finished designing a new award for our 'eco' range; the two-tone eco bamboo award! We can make these with a full colour plaque (as pictured) or with the front laser engraved directly into the bamboo. These awards are quick to produce making them ideal for last minute events.
modern business awards
We just finished these beautiful modern business awards. We used a single sheet of aluminium to fold these into shape, a very complex custom build. The result is a fantastic award that is more visually stunning that the usual old and boring crystal / glass awards.
our new star awards - eco materials
Take a look at our new STAR awards. We receive so many requests for awards that incorporate a star, we decided to design our very own! The star in these awards has been cut all the way through the Cedar block. Then the logo and text was laser engraved.

why are our recognition products, awards and trophies the best on the market?
Simply because we are vastly different from our competitors as we are not like regular trophy shop. We are passionate designers with a deep understanding of our corporate clients branding and communication goals. Our competitors do not generally employ designers and their products are not truly custom. We offer 100% unique custom designed products that are all made from locally sourced materials. Our competitors do not do this; they order from wholesalers who import their products from China (mass produced). This is how we differ from our competitors and this has greatly contributed to our success to date.
Our unique design style is our competitive advantage and has enabled us to work with some of the worlds largest organisations. These include: the United Nations, Verizon Wireless, LG, West Jet, Fuji Xerox, Ericsson (formally Sony Ericsson), Absolute Vodka, John Deere, Volkswagen, Indian Motorcycle, Alberta Government, Wilson Sporting Goods and many more .
Andrew Watson Design specialises in the creation of unique, handcrafted custom designed trophies, awards and gifts. We offer creative services with a three dimensional outcome. We work across multiple disciplines to deliver a vast range of highly creative design and manufacturing possibilities.

the gathering awards - cult
We custom designed and handcrafted these unique custom pyramid trophies / awards specifically for The Gathering Awards ceremony. We designed the awards to be a modern interpretation of the classic pyramid shape. Typically pyramid trophies / awards are fairly plain and conservative but, we wanted these trophies / awards to be unique, modern and special.
The custom pyramid shape of the trophy / award was folded out of one piece of 2mm aluminium and finished with matte anodising. We then mixed up a custom silver metallic ink and silk screened the text and logos onto the pyramid sections.
The base was made of a heavy 6.35mm aluminium and anodised in a vibrant red colour. When looking into the pyramid trophy / award from above you can see the year cut from the pyramid to reveal the red base below. A hidden detail. The base was then finished with a laser engraved plaque with the event and organisers details.
The end result is a truly unique, modern and conceptual pyramid trophy / award that can be appreciated for many years to come.
y2 awards
We have just completed these beautiful awards for the Y2 Junior Rider event in Calgary.
Every step in the creation of these awards was done by hand. From the welding and sanding to the many layers of paint and the precise application of individually cut vinyl decals. These unique handcrafted awards are simple yet stunning.
See more information on the project page.
2014 - new york international olive oil competition (nyiooc)
Congratulations to all the winners of the 2014 New York International Olive Oil Competition.
We were commissioned by the event organisers to create a new, modern and contemporary custom trophy / award design for this years event. Since the event had such strong branding, it was only logical to create a custom trophy / award to reflect this. The result is a typographic custom trophy / award that is on-brand and is simple and stunning.
