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.

Herron Todd White Annual Awards

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.

Brolga Awards Stainless Steel and Timber Sculpture

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.
