THE TROPHY
The DIELINE Awards Trophy, designed by Jones Knowles Ritchie, found inspiration in the humble, cut lines of a simple folding box—but reimagined in impressive sculptural form.
Using DIELINE’s bespoke typeface inspired by packaging, DIELINE Sans, the trophy represents a timeless strength and beauty to honor winners of DIELINE Awards. Depending on placement, winners will receive a trophy that is clear acrylic, translucent blue acrylic, matte black metal, bronze, silver, gold, or wood.
To make each DIELINE Awards trophy, it involves a combination of industrial machinery and hand craftsmanship. Each one is cast with technical precision using automotive quality steel dies, and then lovingly hand-finished and polished to mirror perfection. The awards in different categories get electroplated with a combination of charcoal chrome, a rhodium-nickel alloy, and genuine 24 karat gold.
All winners have the opportunity to purchase a DIELINE Awards trophy.
