How to make a Customize Trophy
Making a Customized Trophy
When a trophy idea comes to mind, meetings after meetings will take place to discuss about the design, the height, the weight, the box, the trophy categories and the budget of the trophy.
What are the common factors discussed when creating a customized Trophy?
Design of the trophy
When it comes to the design of the trophy, normally the closer it is to the theme of the event or Company corporate logo, the better the trophy will be perceived as because a trophy is a representation of success and achievement. A trophy that represents the Corporate profile or the event will become a great memory to the recipient in the months to come. Then practicality comes into play, is the trophy design practical? For example, is there a hallow hole in the middle of the trophy or is the design floating in the air. If both are yes, it will not be easy for the trophy supplier to create the trophy because there is a need to hold the trophy in place.
The height of the trophy
Generally, the taller the trophy, the more unstable a trophy will be but the trophy will be perceived as more grand and it will definitely add on to the weight of the trophy. Generally, it is better for the body to cover more area than the base and the top. This will ensure the trophy look great.
The weight of the trophy
The weight of the trophy is very important as the heavier a trophy is, the more value it is perceived. If you are creating a customized trophy using acrylics, it will be light weight, try to use crystals base or a heavy base to give the trophy more weight. This will allow you to fully customize the trophy without losing the weight on the trophy.
The Box
Most customized trophies does not come with box because when you customize a trophy, the size will no longer fit the original box of the trophy. Be sure to customize a box for your trophy if a box is needed. Velvet box gives a very nice smooth and premium surface feel, glass and other materials are great too just be sure not to over customize a fancy box so that it matches your trophy. Box can come with satin cloth or without, ribbon or without, just make sure to specify the specifications so that your supplier will be able to produce a proper personalized box for your trophy.
The Trophy Categories
The Trophy categories can be the most complicating thing when preparing customized trophies for a tournament, event and etc. The categories must be properly planned, suit the event and there must be enough trophy sizes and color to fit all the different categories. If you are customizing for 3 categories for example, you might want to pick gold, silver and bronze. If you have a 4th category, u might want to distinguish out another category with rose gold or shinning gold.
The budget of the trophy
The budget of your trophy can vary affecting the trophy size, the trophy quantity and etc. If you have a big budget, be sure to get heavy trophies like crystals and metal but these can be very expensive materials to customize. The best is if you can make it a fusion with several elements combined together so that you can customize freely and affordably in acrylic and at the same time have a great expensive material infused into the trophy.
