Our longstanding client, Magic Millions, recently approached us to design a custom trophy for their newest race, the Magic Millions Sunlight. Held annually at the Gold Coast Racecourse in Queensland, the Sunlight is a prestigious 1100m sprint with a total prize pool of $3,000,000 — a major highlight of the racing calendar.

Our in-house design team drew inspiration from the race’s name to create a piece that radiates energy and elegance. We combined laser-cut acrylic, UV-printed in warm, sun-soaked tones, with a circular form to subtly evoke the sun. A gold mirror horse stands proudly at the centre — the hero element — complemented by other reflective gold details throughout.

To add depth and a refined sense of craftsmanship, our in-house production team hand-veneered the edges using A-grade Australian timber, giving the piece a natural warmth and elegant touch. Laser-etched text adds the final detail, ensuring the trophy captures both the spirit of the event and the prestige of the win.

As 2024 came to a close, the team at SX Global reached out to us with an exciting project: creating distinctive awards for the World Supercross Championship, with events held in both Perth and Abu Dhabi. They envisioned awards that were unique to each location while maintaining a cohesive design that incorporated their branding and motocross elements.

Drawing inspiration from the event’s branding and marketing collateral, our design team crafted three innovative concepts that brought these elements to life. A blend of black-stained timber and natural light wood provided contrast, ensuring each award had its own identity while remaining part of a unified collection. To elevate the design further, we incorporated printed acrylics, gold accents, and precision laser etching, resulting in awards that truly reflected the spirit of the championship.

The Magic Millions National 2YO Classic, a prestigious event held each January at the Gold Coast Racecourse, is a highlight of the Magic Millions Racing Carnival. Featuring a 1000m sprint and boasting a prize pool of $1 million, it’s a showcase of excellence in racing.

For this event, our design team drew inspiration from a unique hexagonal base shape, which became the centrepiece of the award’s design. Manufactured by our in-house joinery team, each element was crafted to exude luxury. Topping it all off was a circular motif, embellished with a laser-etched floral pattern and gold horse detailing, bringing a touch of elegance to the finished piece.

Surf Life Saving South Australia approached us with the exciting opportunity to reimagine their annual awards, seeking a design that embodies a quintessential Australian beach theme, reminiscent of our past collaborations with the organization. Inspired by the iconic red and yellow flags that grace Australian beaches, our design team opted to integrate these vibrant colours into the awards using opaque coloured acrylic. This thoughtful choice allowed the natural beauty of the timber block beneath to shine through, adding a touch of organic charm.

Each layer of colour was strategically offset to enhance depth and visual intrigue around the block. For a final touch of elegance, the Surf Life Saving SA logo was intricately laser-etched onto the block, enriching the award with a tactile element.

We thoroughly enjoyed crafting this distinctive, Australian-themed award and would be delighted to discuss how we can bring your next project to life. Contact us today to begin your creative journey with us!

Each year, our team eagerly anticipates the opportunity to craft distinctive awards for the prestigious Magic Millions events. This year presented a fresh challenge as we were tasked with creating a new design for the 2023-2024 awards suite.

After careful consideration, our design team embarked on a creative journey, selecting an intricate half-tone etching of a racehorse as the centrepiece for the awards. This bold choice ultimately captured the attention and admiration of the Magic Millions team. After considerable time in the preliminary production stages, our design team were able to bring out the most intricate details of the horse image into the halftone etch.

To further elevate the design, each award was sculptured using two pieces of timber skilfully crafted to create eye-catching curved edges. The addition of a gold mirror detail infused an element of elegance, perfectly complementing the prestigious nature of the event. To finish the awards, the race details and logos were laser etched onto the award.

The Pho3nix Sports Awards celebrate athletes who exemplify excellence in sports and embody the values of the Pho3nix Foundation, a global non-profit dedicated to engaging children in physical activities and nurturing their journey to elite sport.

We were approached to design the awards for their 2023 event, with a focus on incorporating the brand logo as a central element. After careful consideration, we designed the centrepiece of the trophy around a clear acrylic window, showcasing a the Pho3nix logo. This created a visually captivating focal point to house the brushed silver letters of the logo. The top hero piece of the award was crafted from the Pho3nix brand icon. The award details were delicately laser-etched onto the base, we opted for native Australian timber as the primary material, enhancing the elegance of this award.

The Magic Millions QTIS Open is a prestigious $1 million dollar race held annually on ‘The Star Gold Coast Magic Millions Raceday’ at the enchanting Gold Coast turf club. Each race within the Magic Millions series boasts a one-of-a-kind trophy design and we were honoured again to embark on a creative journey for the design and production of the QTIS Open trophies.

Our design team worked with Native Australian timbers and opted to design the base of the award with an octagonal shape that was simple yet elegant. The base was accentuated with a black inset, adding depth and achieving a visually balanced composition with the trophy’s top. Atop the trophy, a striking black horse took centre stage. Working with the amazing team at the Magic Millions, we ensured the horse on top of the award corresponded with the direction the racehorses run around the Gold Coast track. To add the final touches to this masterpiece, our team employed laser etching techniques to seamlessly incorporate logos and text onto the trophy’s body.
