new - abstract art awards!

Introducing our new custom abstract art awards! These abstract art awards are individually crafted and each one is completely unique. Made to a standard height of 11" (280mm), the rest of the form is crafted at random to create a unique and beautiful shape. 

We specialise in creating unique and meaningful awards, trophies and gifts. We know the recipients of our products appreciate the quality and design more than other standard awards (the ones that are mass produced my machines from materials such as plastic, glass, acrylic and crystal).    

wilson - major league baseball trophies

wilson sporting goods defensive player of the year

We were honoured this year to create a series of custom trophies for Wilson Sporting Goods. The trophies were being awarded to Major League Baseball players for the Defensive Player of the Year awards. We created 12 of these in different colours and also custom designed a glove stand to match the trophies. 

The Wilson Defensive Player of the Year trophies stand 2' (605mm) tall and 4" (101mm) square. Created from aluminium, a embossed leather winners swatch was inset into the trophy. Silk screened with white and metallic inks, these trophies are big and impressive! 

gap clothing - custom awards

GAP clothing awards trophies custom not glass or crystal corporate

We were given a short timeline (2 weeks) to design and create some awards for GAP Clothing. The brief was to create something less corporate and more 'crafty'. The result was these amazing string art awards that were custom designed and handcrafted to represent the textile industry. 

We used embroidery string for the centre feature and finished the inside and outside of the award in denim fabric. A tactile textile finish was contrasted against a minimal anodised aluminium finish to create a modern look. 

eco perpetual awards/trophies

eco sustainable perpetual awards and trophies Pine Beetle Wood denim pine

We can customise all of our award designs to suit any event. The design above is our 'Classic' design but, we created it in three different sizes for the clients particular needs; perpetual award ceremonies. With the largest award measuring almost 4" square (101mm), we made the other awards proportionally smaller. This particular design was created from recovered Pine Beetle Wood (denim pine) for an eco event. 

This is a great example of our flexibility and ability to fulfil any client request. Most standard trophy / award shops will buy product from a catalogue with set designs and sizes. We custom design and handcraft every award ourselves so, we have the capacity to create anything our clients desire.

When it comes to corporate recognition we are able to deliver the best products on the market. With original, modern and meaningful designs, our designers are able to create custom awards and trophies that make an impression and deliver on our clients specific communication goals. 

nyiooc - 2015

We are only a few weeks away from the 2015 New York International Olive Oil Competition (NYIOOC). This is the third time we have been commissioned to custom design and handcraft the awards for the NYIOOC. The awards are given to producers from all over the world including America and Europe.  

The New York International Olive Oil Competition is the largest, and most publicized olive oil quality competition in the world.

More than 700 entries from 25 countries are judged by an international panel of experts. The winning olive oils are coveted by chefs, food buyers and discerning consumers everywhere who value extra virgin olive oils of the very highest quality.

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. 

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. 

We are a design studio with extensive experience in custom trophy, award and plaque creation. We specialise in the creation of unique, handcrafted, custom designed trophies, awards, plaques and offer complimentary engraving services for all of our products. We use can sustainable materials such as new/recovered wood and timber or traditional materials such as glass, acrylic and aluminium. 

We work globally providing high quality custom handcrafted corporate recognition awards trophies and plaques to our clients in Canada, USA, Australia and New Zealand. We ship to all major cities and regional destinations including New York, LA, California, Texas, Calgary, Toronto, Edmonton, San Diego and Washington.
