Laser Etching & Router Cutting

We were approached by the Australian Surf Retailers Federation to Design and Manufacture the Awards for the very first Australian Surf Retailers Awards.

This was one of our favorite projects to date. It was great to be given a brief and then let loose to come up with something really amazing. All the Design and Production was done in-house so that we had control over every step that went into making the awards.

It looks like the event was a great night and the awards were received extremely well. Special mention to Hurley for taking out “Mens Brand of the Year” and “Boardshort of the Year”, Billabong for winning both Mens and Ladies “Marketing Campaign of the Year” and to Rusty for taking out “Ladies Brand of the Year”. To see more photos and the full rundown of the night, head over to the Surf Retailers Federation website HERE.

Here are some images of the process right through to the event.

We were approached by Billabong to come up with a Trophy idea for thier upcoming internal staff “Gordie Awards’ The awards aknowledge individuals success throughout the Billabong brands.

So the final concept we came up with was a recycled timber block, sliced on an angle with a raised frosted printed plexi-glass plaque sitting on the face. We then laser etched the winners name and category on the front of the timber block. The recycled australian hardwood timber came from old an farm tank stand that had been lying in a paddock in northern new south wales for years. Once our joiner Rex trimmed it down and treated the wood, it revealed the stunning grain and amazing weathered exterior. We were very happy with the finished product and so were the winners!
