When one thinks of the most famous awards, they may overlook the award bases. Often overshadowed by more ornate or detailed elements, award bases are nonetheless important. What good is a house without a sturdy foundation? How can a tree grow without strong roots?
The Cristaux International team is passionate about creating meaningful recognition pieces. Our work includes tying together all components of a trophy or gift’s design. For us, it’s important to make the base fit the client’s budget and vision. Award bases are another opportunity for us to make trophies shine.
IMPORTANCE OF AWARD BASES
A trophy base is the literal foundation for a recognition piece. With a supportive base, one can achieve so much for a design. There are countless benefits and possibilities for award bases.
- They add weight and substance. Everyone finds a light trophy to be underwhelming, but some materials can’t help but weigh little. With an added base, awards can achieve a new weight and feel more significant.
- Bases balance intricate design elements. A plain base can act like the blank walls of an art gallery, by highlighting the masterpiece. Beyond aesthetics, bases also provide physical balance for designs that need it. In some cases, bases are there to keep awards from falling over.
- They provide space for personalization. To add recipient details or company branding, one needs space, and trophy bases do a great job of acting like a canvas.
- While some materials add simplicity, others add complexity. By using different textures or finishes, a base can make a design more intriguing.
