Why don’t we charge for our designs?

We often hear great things from our clients impressed by the quality of our designs - and they're completely free of charge. So what’s the catch? Well, in this case, there really is such a thing as a free lunch. Free designs, within 48 hours, no obligation.

Trophy design: Behind the scenes of a trophy maker

Case Study | Coca Cola Icon Awards

When clients come to visit us they are always amazed to see the inner workings of award design and manufacture. To us that work at Gaudio, it’s easy to forget that what we do can be a mystery to the client – they give us a brief, receive the designs and ultimately the finished award – everything in-between is unknown. Using the recently produced Coca Cola Icon Awards as an example we can look at the journey from brief to delivery.

Introducing the all new Gaudio Awards

We are so excited to share the new Gaudio Awards branding with you and we hope you like it as much as we do. It has been an epic journey that started nearly a year ago and involved a lot of soul searching, going back to our roots and finding our voice. This is not just a new logo, it’s Gaudio reborn. This is a new identity, a sign of our aspirations and the beginning of the next phase in our adventure that has already brought us further than we could have ever imagined.

Gaudio Awards: A Trip Down Memory Lane

The Gaudio rebrand is currently well underway and lots is being done ready to launch in the next couple of months.

Redesigning an Iconic Award: The MasterChef Trophy

Most of our clients come to us looking for an original idea produced by our in-house design team, but sometimes we are asked to reproduce an existing trophy. We are more than happy to do this (provided the client owns the copyright), but we do like to put our own spin on it! This will often be quality improvements, manufacturing enhancements or subtle design changes to improve the award. We were approached by Shine TV in 2012 to give the MasterChef trophy the Gaudio treatment, so let’s have a look at how we went about it.
