ClientSusan G Komen For The Cure, Columbus Affiliate

ChallengeThe Columbus Ohio affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization needed a fresh new approach in creating recognition awards for event sponsors. The well-known Pink Ribbon that had become synonymous with fundraising initia-tives for breast cancer was necessary, but presenting it in a new and interesting way was the challenge.

By working with the organiza-tion’s logo and a budget guide-line, the design became one-of-a-kind Lucite® embedment that represented the fundraising run in an entirely new way. A Pink Ribbon printed on acetate was

embedded deep within Lucite®

which was custom cut to mimic the shape of the organization’s logo. The final piece was created in three sizes to denote Gold, Sil-ver and Bronze level sponsors.

From this, the creation has been started; a customized piece in maple with a dis-tinctive design that incorporated a single “8” as the only actual number on the face. On the reverse was the client’s engraved company logo. As an additional service, BCH handled all assembly, special pack-

aging and the insertion of a small bro-chure into each box. The box was labelled with a customized sticker matching the company’s colours, making it truly one-of-a kind. The dye colour of the wood has been carefully picked in function of the last trends in the interior decoration.

ClientThe Canadian Federation of Plastics And Composites

ChallengeThe federation wanted to develop its own distinctive award to give to members for achievements in a range of categories. The award would be handed out at the annual gala. The piece had to be fully customized and innovative, and one that could not be found anywhere else. It had to integrate the federation’s blue logo and be partially made of plastic in order to represent the industry sector the federation represented. The objective was to develop a heavy and prestigious piece that would become the federation’s equivalent of the “Oscar” one that every member would aspire to and feel proud to receive.

A Special Award Designed to TrulyReflect Corporate Image

To meet Hilton’s high standards for quality and appeal, the sign had to be attractive, durable and able to convey Hilton’s cor-porate image. As well, because it was to be used in over 82 countries worldwide, it need-ed to impart an international flair. The nished piece would need to be distributed to over 3,700 hotel locations around

the globe. The idea came to create a customized sign in a combination of Plexiglass and wood, with the greeting of Welcome in multiple lan-guages silkscreened into the background making it quickly identiable in any language. To enhance the HHonors brand, a metallic HHonors logo was custom cut, painted and at-

tached to the side of the sign, adding an extra dimension. All components were securely mounted to a painted wooden base. When completed, 3,700 individual signs were individu-ally boxed, custom-labelled and sent along to Hotel Managers with installation instructions and a personalized letter for each of the hotel’s individual ten brands.

The garden needed to feature each of its 200 different kinds of lilacs with individual signs that would carry both a photo-graphic image of each species and descriptive text. As well, each sign must be attractive, easily read by garden visitors and be able to withstand the rigours of a Quebec winter. BCH Unique created a stylish crystal

clear Lucite® piece and embed-ded it with a life-like image of the lilac and its descriptive text. By embedding the photos and text within the acrylic and treat-ing it to resist harmful UV rays it guaranteed the sign would remain air and water tight. Last but not least, the piece was combined with a long metal stake to allow the park owners

to insert it firmly into the earth. To add consistency and unifor-mity of the “look and feel” of the new signs, BCH created larger 12” x 18” Lucite® plaques which were placed at the entrance to the park and embedded with maps of walking paths which identified feature areas contain-ing new flowers.

SolutionBy utilising Lucite® and partnering it with metal, BCH was able to answer all the signage needs long life, weather resis-tance, high quality, at-tractive appearance and strength for the plea-sure of the visitors.

While the needles used in treatments were available in 5 sizes, ranging from 4 to 14mm, the company could only supply 1 size of needle for demonstration purposes. To create the 2,500 educational pieces required would mean working with over 12,000 small needles and manipulating them. BCH Unique had to be extremely precise with the handling and the embedment process to make sure that the sizes were respected.

BCH Unique produced a paperweight with the needles as an embedment. To create the differences in needle length, a printed strip was used to hide the lower portion of the needle, thereby creating the illusion that needles ranging in length from 4mm to 14mm were visible. The process was tedious and required exact mea-

surements in order to create the 5 different lengths of needles. To complete the piece, measurements were added for each needle and the corporate logo was positioned in the upper right corner.

As every car has pistons and all pistons are the same, this shape was chosen for the award. Our first step was to recreate a three-dimensional piston, utilizing our virtual proof software. The dis-tributor went the extra mile by going to an automotive scrap yard to find a piston and take pictures

from all angles so our team of de-signers could make accurate draw-ings. An additional challenge for our team was that no time could be allowed for a pre-production sample. Our virtual proofs needed to be very accurate to give our cli-ent peace of mind.

SolutionOnce the final design was approved, the piece was rushed into production in order to meet the client’s event date. Only three weeks were avail-able to produce fifteen custom awards. Great communication and teamwork was the key to make this project a success.

BCH created a replica of the pedes-trian bridge and mounted it on a base with an inscription to denote the special milestone. In honor of Earth Day and to recognize the company’s regard for the environment, four small interactive, moveable globes were added to the top, containing

To accommodate multiple im-ages, BCH Unique chose to deco-rate the piece on front and rear sides as well as with an embed-ment, thus creating visibility and depth. To provide the look of a laser-engraved map, yet deliver a highly cost effective piece, a one-
