details
We custom designed and handcrafted these unique custom pyramid awards specifically for The Gathering Awards ceremony. We designed the awards to be a modern interpretation of the classic pyramid shape. Typically pyramid awards are fairly plain and conservative but we wanted these awards to be unique, modern and cutting edge.
The custom pyramid shape of the award was folded out of 2mm (0.0800”) aluminium and finished with matte anodising. We then UV flatbed printed PMS matched text and logos onto the pyramid sections.
In our 3d modeling software, we created a tessellated pyramid and 3d printed it. This centerpiece was placed inside the pyramid and finished several different ways including matte black, metallic silver and a vibrant pink/red to match the client's brand and Pantone colours.
The base was made of a heavy 12mm (½”) aluminium and anodised in matte black. The base was then finished with a laser engraved plaque with the event and organizers details.
The end result is a truly unique, modern and conceptual pyramid award that can be appreciated for many years to come.
