Cinematic Excellence Crystal Award
is a masterpiece of light and form, designed to honor the visionaries of the silver screen. Created for the EVM Awards and incinema, this trophy embodies the clarity of vision and the sharp focus required to excel in the competitive world of cinematography and media production. For The Awards DXB, this piece represents our commitment to providing world-class recognition products that mirror the prestige of international award galas.
Design and Sculptural Elegance
The trophy is sculpted from high-grade optical crystal, chosen for its superior refractive index and flawless clarity. The design features a unique, elongated hexagonal silhouette that tapers towards the top and bottom, creating a sense of upward momentum and “rising stardom.” What sets this piece apart are the diamond-cut facets along the edges. These precision-engineered angles are designed to capture ambient light and break it into a spectrum of brilliance, ensuring that the award “shines” from every corner of the room.
The crystal body is mounted on a premium black glass pedestal with a wide, stable base. The dark, polished surface of the base provides a dramatic foundation, creating a stark visual contrast that draws the eye upward to the transparent body and the colorful branding elements.
Brand Integration and Visual Identity
At The Awards DXB, we specialize in seamless brand integration. This trophy features three distinct areas of customization:
The EVM Awards Shield: At the apex of the trophy sits a bold, yellow-and-black shield logo. The inclusion of a small film camera icon within the “EVM” branding immediately identifies the award’s cinematic purpose. The UV-printed logo is applied with such precision that it appears integrated into the crystal itself.
The incinema Logo: Centrally located, the “incinema” branding is rendered in a vibrant, multi-colored font (green, red, and yellow). This adds a splash of modern energy to the classic crystal design, reflecting the dynamic and colorful nature of the film industry.
Institutional Seal: Near the base, a circular seal featuring a family silhouette and the “Iglesia Ni Cristo” organization branding is placed, grounding the award in its community and cultural roots.
Symbolism and Artistic Intent
In the film industry, light is everything. This trophy uses its faceted crystal structure to act as a prism, symbolizing the way a filmmaker takes a single idea and refracts it through various lenses—acting, writing, and directing—to create a beautiful finished product. The transparency of the material represents the honesty of storytelling, while the sharp, defined points represent the “cutting edge” of technology and creativity.
This award is ideal for high-stakes categories such as:
Best Director or Cinematographer: Where precision and “vision” are paramount.
Lifetime Achievement: Where the solid, enduring nature of crystal reflects a lasting legacy.
Film Festival Winners: Providing a prestigious, heavy-weight memento that winners will cherish for decades.
Craftsmanship at The Awards DXB
Cinematic Excellence Crystal Award is a testament to our advanced fabrication capabilities. To achieve this level of finish, we utilize:
High-Pressure Waterjet Cutting: To establish the initial complex geometric shape of the crystal.
Hand-Polishing: Each facet is buffed to a mirror finish to ensure there are no distortions in the light refraction.
Sub-Surface and Surface UV Printing: Using specialized inks that bond permanently to the crystal surface, ensuring the vibrant colors of the EVM and incinema logos never fade or peel.
The weight of the trophy is substantial, providing a tactile sense of importance that recipients expect at high-level ceremonies. It is a piece that demands a prominent place on a mantelpiece or in a corporate display, telling a story of dedication, artistry, and triumphant success.
