Simple Desk Trophies

Every year for the last seven years, I've been involved in a charity called Movember. If you have never heard of it - for shame - http://www.movember.com.

For the last four years I've been working at Amazon, which is awesome and I love it. At Amazon, I unofficially started doing the Movember thing and encouraging people to get involved. This year, I want to reward a select few outstanding MoBros and MoSistas with some desk trophies.

These desk trophies where constructed from laser-cut acrylic and have a clear stand imprinted with our (entirely unofficial) internal logo. They are easily dismantled to a more easily transported size, and have a front layer that adds depth (and class - because Movember is classy). The clear base is etched on the upper surface, and reflects the logo from every angle - which looks more awesome than the pictures would suggest.

That's cool - where did the icon come from?

[j-o-n]

The unofficial icon (to be specific, the orange Mo guy) came from a designer friend of mine.

I predict its wider use...

I didn't include the design files intentionally to avoid just that. But what can you do? I'd prefer to share than not.

Oh... I meant that as a good thing - it's a cool logo.

Thanks! I agree! :D
