MAKING THE YAY TROPHIES

Commissioned by BlueZoo and ScreenSkills UK, we had the pleasure of designing and making twelve trophies for ‘The Young Animator of the Year’ Awards. These YAY trophies were the first of their kind, and were presented to the winning animators aged 11 - 18, in their respective categories at Manchester Animation Festival.

DESIGN

Our design captures the fun, energy and craft of animation. It includes a bespoke, cold cast version of the YAY lettering, which embody three beloved forms - 2D, 3D and Stop-Motion. Our custom made metal plates have been aged and scratched and feature a laser marked illustration made in-house, taking inspiration from a classic “cartoon brawl” - paying homage to the graft and passion that goes into the animation process.A classic bevelled base was cut in house from wild mango wood and upfront, of course, are the name plates for each of the winners.
