Award a 3D trophy at Your Next Special Event

Thanks to 21st century technology, the ability to create and present a hi-tech 3D trophy for any event is closer than you think.

The process is quite simple; you can retain control of the idea and the image that you want, and once complete it can be used for anything from a birthday to a wedding, and a business presentation to a sport-oriented event.

Specialised companies can offer a made-to-measure, customer-oriented response to bring your ideas to reality in awe-inspiring designs. The effect of a well-made 3D trophy is to leave people wowed by the design and the clarity of the portrait in the medium, which can be in either plastic or crystal. Due to the durability and flexibility of such a piece, it can be retained for many years and is likely to remain a talking point among business colleagues, friends or relatives. In any form, the 3D trophy is an enduring memory for a very special occasion.

A piece like this can be used either as an individual gift, such as a birthday or graduation, or as a group token - for example for a sales award or for inter-business related goals. Either way, it is almost certainly a poignant reminder for the receiver/s.

The bonus of the 3D trophy is that, irrespective of any industry, an image can be designed specifically to the theme of an event - ensuring it is truly personalised.

Ready Made Designs

If you are have difficulty deciding on the type of image that you require for your piece, companies often offer a specialist portfolio of designs already created. The designs can range over many themes and sectors from zodiac signs, animals and Christmas images, to more intricate flowers and religious themes. There is likely to be a design to suit every conceivable event, including birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and even a specific day, such as Valentine's Day, to make a unique gift for a loved one.

These pieces can also play an important in sports ceremonies: for the best player to the most improved, to fans' player of the season to more important regional and national league level awards - such as best player of the season, best team, or even an award for a winning finalist.

Bespoke Designs

Those contemplating a design from their own imagination will be able to work alongside specialist designers, who will be able to take the brief and create a bespoke piece. Once an image is created (from a photograph or illustration) the artist gets to work on getting the detail correct. When all are agreed the image is to the client's brief, it is set into a laser machine to create the real life image in to crystal. The piece is then polished and ready for presentation. The thrill of seeing a unique design come to fruition is as exciting for the creator as it is for the recipient.
