Cristaux was asked to design and manufacture an award that could be used on an ongoing basis to award employees of the month, all while focusing on DMA’s brand standards. With the monthly addition of a new recipient to the growing program, the names of each recipient needed to be interchangeable and removable so, when updated monthly, the award could seamlessly be customized.
Ensuring a “fashionable” and “functional” object of recognition, the Cristaux team imagined a form using a CNC machine to machine brush aluminum, complemented by DMA brand-centric maroon acrylic. Allowing for personalization, the acrylic bar, situated at the right panel of the award is removable, with the ability to update names with ease. With added flexibility, the award can be leveraged for a variety of occasions outside the scope of the featured employee of the month honor.
