Well done! I always look forward to what the awards look like. The past few years, I have noticed that we had similar thoughts for awards. This year, I did not think of this at all. It's very impressive and looks very elegant.

I'd love to see photos of some held up to the sunlight (hint, hint).

Beautiful.

WOW! That is just amazing. I would love to be riding home with one of those ;)

Re: pic: 2012 IRI Winner Trophy
 

Holy cow! That looks great!

Those look like they need a custom wooden protective travel case like the Delphi Golden Gear Award. :)

I presume one will be up for auction as well?

I don't think that picture is doing justice for how nice these must look in person.

Re: pic: 2012 IRI Winner Trophy
 

Thanks, Jane. You are very kind. Here are three pics with the sun behind the trophy. The first one reminds me of a big marble, with swirly colors.







Yep!

I agree. Here is a link to the webpage of Kokomo Opalescent Glass. Mark worked closely with them to get these made and sandblasted.

You coud glue all the distric trophies given out this season together and they probably wouldn't weigh as much as one of these. Now that's a trophy!

Re: pic: 2012 IRI Winner Trophy
 

You could probably drop this thing and it still wouldn't shatter as easily as those district trophies :rolleyes:

Very cool awards Mark and Andy!

Re: pic: 2012 IRI Winner Trophy
 

Thank you for taking those photos, Andy. They are worthy of a Billfred Stamp Of Approval. :)

The glass makes each one unique while honoring the uniformity of the award design. The top one does look like a marble and I think I see some purple in those swirls.

Drooling,

Jane

Zing!



And on that note, I was gonna say that just looking at this trophy makes me terrified that I'll drop it. And I'm not even gonna be at IRI! Awesome looking trophies.

Re: pic: 2012 IRI Winner Trophy
 

I don't think it would shatter, I think it would explode. Drop, pop, explode.

That could be like shatter but it would have a different sound. Or.. it could drop and roll.

But, hopefully, all it would do would be sit quietly in a place of prominence and awe.

The trophy looks amazing! Everyone did a great job on it. It's always fun to see what awesome designs the IRI trophy will be each year!

Thanks for the in the sun pictures!
