When the Brisbane Lions asked us to help them out with some huge signage for their home ground, we jumped at the opportunity!
The idea is that you can be the “I” in their team. A great concept that we were happy to help out with.

We were asked by Surfing Queensland to create a set of trophies for the Alley Classic, Burleigh Pro, MP Classic & Sunshine Pro competitions that ran late last year. The end result is a sleek wooden etched block of hardwood with a lighter wood laser etched and cut to compliment the dark base accompanied with a laser cut acrylic splash of colour.

We were approached by Hurley to do this years Australian Open of Surfing Trophies. They were quite a detailed and intricate concept to put together, but they turned out great.
The trophy consisted of laser cut Stainless Steel layered and mounted to a high gloss black base. The base had a matt black Hurley logo on the top and a Stainless Steel logo inserted on the bottom of the base.
Congratulations to Adriano de Souza from Brazil who took out Julian Wilson to win the Open Mens comp and Hawaiian Carissa Moore for winning the Open Womens comp.

We were asked to create the annual company awards for Herron Todd White. We sat down with them and came up with some different material and construction options and the final product was an interactive piece made from a timber veneered block with laser etched logos and a 2 pak painted insert. Each colour represents the 4 different areas of the company. We also put together some LED lanterns for a table centrepiece used for the awards night. The final result turned out great.

This is one of those projects that we love here at Potato Press. We were approached by a Brisbane company to produce a large perpetual sculpture for there internal staff awards. The brief was to create a striking scupltural piece based off the awards brolga logo to sit in the foyer of their Brisbane office. Something that was more artistic and interpretive. So what we ended up with was a layered laser cut stainless steel brolga which sat on a custom built timber plinth. Our Joiner Rex almost killed our designer when he got the specs for the timber plinth, but the final result was worth all the effort that went into it. The final result looked amazing sitting in the foyer of their newly refurbished office.
