Laser Etching & Router Cutting

Over a period of 4 days, some of the worlds best surfers complete against local talent at Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast.

For the 2018 Burleigh Pro surf event we worked with the team at Surfing Queensland again to create some more unique trophies that embody the Burleigh headland vibe. The Burleigh headland is famous for its Norfolk pines and great views of the surf from up on the hill so it wasn’t even a question that these elements were to be included in the awards.

With a combination of timber that grows native to south-east Queensland and laser cut acrylic, the pieces were layered on top of each other and designed in a way where the award portrayed a 3D landscape. We were stoked with how these awards polished up and we look forward to working with Surfing QLD in the future.

Every year, Red Bull hosts and sponsors world-class athletes and events all over the world. On the 10^th of November in Sydney, Australia, Red Bull challenged people to design, build and then pilot their own creations off a 6 meter high flight deck in the event they call Flugtag (‘flying day’ in German).

We were approached by the guys at Havas Sports & Entertainment Australia to complete this job for the team at Red Bull and were challenged to create something inspired by the companies’ signature style. The quintessential red bull wings were a must for this design, we also featured the cartoon style drawings that are also sported across Red Bull’s marketing campaigns.

Combining timber, acrylic and solid aluminium powder coated pieces we created this set of awards to embody the larger than life event that Red Bull has curated. We added accents of Gold, Silver and Bronze as a point of difference across the three awards, which captures your attention at the large scale the awards are produced at.

Founded in 2003 in Sydney, Sumo Salad had a vision for creating fast healthy food for Australia and the rest of the world. Flash-forward to now, Sumo Salad has now grown to a international brand, serving 6 million meals each year across their stores.

Sumo Salad approached us to create their Franchisee Awards. Using solid hardwood timber to frame the shape of the award we added acrylic, laser etched details and silver name plates to create these perpetual trophies. By cutting into solid timber to expose the sumo salad logo, it has added another dimension to the award.

Taking place at the end of September is The Nautique USA Wakesurf National Championships. Held in Texas, USA, Nautique Boats and The World Wake Association (WWA) have partnered together to create a family-oriented wakesurfing event open to surfers of all ages and ability levels.

Nautique has been a long running client of ours so we were pleased to create some more custom trophies for the event with WWA in the unique style we have carried across all our Nautique jobs.

These awards feature timber etched title plates as well as an inlayed acrylic logo badge, Although the real design feature of this award is definitely the acrylic 3D wave in the base. The wave motif has been inspired directly from the wave featured in the Wakesurf logo.
