EFX Brings Alive the World of Animal Awards

  • Design
  • 26th February 2021

It appears to be the season for commissioning animal awards and trophies and the EFX factory can sometimes resemble a menagerie.

We have had a herd of spotted horses prancing through, an energetic bunny bouncing around, the engaging Stanley from the BBC 1’s show Pooch Perfect, whilst the Animal Hero Awards featuring some adorable pets have made everyone smile.

The EFX factory and design studio is rurally located and many of the staff here have an affinity with animals.  When it comes to capturing a particular likeness, the team are the first to offer their opinion when they see the animal award commissions emerging from the factory. We all have our favourites.

Animal awards created in a wide choice of materials

Using sophisticated Cad or 3D scanning tools, the EFX studio creates the original award designs, from real-life, three-dimensional portraits to cartoon characters and stylised silhouettes. Absolutely anything is possible. Likewise, the options are extensive in terms of materials. Cast acrylic and bronze, precision-cut plated metals, 3d printed resin, acrylic laminates, glass, sustainable options including FSC sourced wood and recycled plastics…the dynamics of each project are infinite.

Don’t miss the finale of Pooch Perfect is next Thursday 4th March 8pm.  Which one of the 3 finalists will take away the Pooch Perfect Golden Trophy?

One of our most unique commissions to date features four leaping fish out of a cheesecake, like salmon jumping up stream… wait, what? We hear you say! 🐟🍰🧀 Well this particular commission was created to celebrate a founder’s retirement, after 50 years in business. When he started out in the food business, the company was the top seller of surplus cheesecakes and fish between factory shops and went on to head up a multimillion pound business! 👏🏻 So of course we had to combine the two for this one-of-a-kind award. Do you have a quirky idea that you’d love to see imagined in an award, then get in touch today... No request is too much of an ask for EFX & our design team!! What’s next, a chicken and a pavlova? #bespokedesign #uniquedesign #bespokeawards #designideas #oneofakinddesigns #fish #cheesecake

The inaugural Master & Chef competition for Peach Pubs celebrates the front and back of house working harmoniously to create the perfect pub visit! Peach Food Operations Manager Trevor Blake explained why they created this event. “We know we have some fantastic young chefs and managers-to-be in our business and wanted to do something that would encourage them to use their flair and knowledge of their pub and then shine a light on their talents.
