Custom Awards & Event Collateral

This was a fun project created for the City of Ryde where we used a combination of Australian native timber and coloured acrylics, to make these awards.

We also created a custom timber plaque for a special commendation award.

These are some custom-designed trophies we did for Nautique and their Big Dawg World tour. 

We drew inspiration from the visual elements of the boats to create a look that maintained the branding of the company.

The tour kicks off in Florida and travels to Spain, North Carolina, California and back to West Palm Beach, Florida for the Finals. It’s kind of a big deal in the Water-skiing and Wakeboarding industry.

This piece is made from a custom shaped solid timber base, with a mix of laser cut, printed and laser etched ply and acrylics, mounted off the base.

We think you’ll agree that it’s an impressive award. Here’s a great action shot of one of the competitors followed by some of the recipients at the end of one of the rounds. 

The Komune Bali Pro project was great fun and we appreciate being able to work with the guys at The Mad Hueys.

The Mad Hueys wanted a trophy with a golden shoe on it that they could drink a beer out of for their Komune Bali Pro. We love crazy projects here at Potato Press, so we jumped on it.

We resin-coated the shoes and gave them a chrome gold finish, then mounted them to a solid block of New Guinea Rosewood. The timber base had a detailed laser etch incorporating the event branding.

It all went fantastically well and you can see the winner, Taj Burrow, drinking from the trophy in the Pool at Komune Bali.

We excel at the weird, the fun and the one-off.

This is a custom award we created for Union Wakeboards and the Riders Choice Awards Australia. It is a routered birch ply with a black laser cut type and laser etched logo. Such a nice clean finish with that style of wood, which gives the final award a a sleek and stylish look.

This custom layered trophy was created for the guys over at AMMA. This custom piece has a cool 3d effect by using different elements of the logo being broken up and on different layers of acrylic.

We have once again made the surf trophies for the Burleigh Pro. Made from layered and printed acrylic.

These are some custom corporate awards for CID Management from the USA. Constructed using a solid recycled timber base with a custom routered and laser cut logo made from acrylic and colour matched aluminium. Then finished with a mounted plate to the front.
