Dubai Taxi 2D Crystal with Black Base
is a masterclass in clean, modern design and corporate storytelling. As a premier offering from The Awards DXB, this trophy is specifically engineered to celebrate the backbone of Dubai’s infrastructure: the transportation sector. Designed for the Dubai Taxi Corporation (DTC), this piece moves away from traditional abstract shapes to provide a literal, yet highly artistic, representation of the service it honors.
Design and Materiality
The award is crafted from high-grade, optical-quality acrylic, chosen for its crystal-clear transparency and ability to catch the light. The most striking feature is its custom-cut contour, which follows the iconic outline of a modern sedan—the universal symbol of the Dubai Taxi fleet. This precision-cut silhouette includes subtle details such as the roof light and stylized wheel arches, giving the award a sense of movement and “motion” even while stationary.
The acrylic body is securely mounted onto a weighted, black obsidian-style base. The contrast between the clear upper section and the solid dark base provides a sophisticated anchor for the piece, ensuring it commands attention on a desk, in a lobby, or within a trophy cabinet. The base is tapered with beveled edges, adding a touch of geometric elegance that complements the organic curves of the car silhouette.
Branding and Customization
This award serves as a powerful branding tool. The center of the acrylic silhouette features the official Dubai Taxi Corporation logo and name in both Arabic and English, rendered in sharp, high-contrast black. Flanking the text are the vibrant logos of the RTA (Roads and Transport Authority) and the distinctive DTC swoosh in red and maroon.
At The Awards DXB, we utilize advanced UV LED printing technology to ensure these colors are saturated, durable, and perfectly aligned. The “floating” effect of the logos within the clear Crystal creates a multi-dimensional look that changes as the viewer moves around the award. The wheels are etched with minimalist spoke patterns, further grounding the design in the world of automotive excellence.
Symbolism and Purpose
In a city that never stops moving, this award symbolizes reliability, service, and the journey forward. It is an ideal recognition piece for several key categories:
Driver Excellence: Honoring those who maintain the highest standards of safety and customer service on Dubai’s roads.
Operational Milestones: Celebrating years of service or the successful launch of new fleet technologies.
Corporate Partnerships: A meaningful gift for stakeholders and partners who contribute to the RTA’s vision of seamless transport.
The transparent nature of the award reflects the transparency and honesty required in public service, while the car shape represents the physical vehicle of progress in the UAE.
Craftsmanship at The Awards DXB
This product highlights the versatility of acrylic when handled by experts. Our process involves:
Laser Contour Cutting: Achieving smooth, polished edges that are safe to touch and brilliant to look at.
Diamond Polishing: Every edge is buffed to a mirror finish to ensure the award glows from every angle.
High-Definition Branding: Using scratch-resistant inks that won’t fade under the bright lights of an office or exhibition hall.
The Urban Motion trophy is a testament to the fact that corporate awards can be both functional and beautiful. It captures a specific piece of Dubai’s identity and transforms it into a prestigious mark of achievement. Whether it’s for a “Safe Driver” award or a corporate anniversary, this piece stands as a clear reflection of a job well done in the heart of the city.
