Polaris / Energy
Energy Deal Toys & Custom Commemoratives
For the assets, transactions and teams that keep the world moving.
Polaris designs custom energy deal toys, financial tombstones and recognition pieces for oil and gas, power, utilities, renewables and energy infrastructure. We turn the defining details of a project into an object that belongs to its story.
START YOUR PROJECT
Make the work recognizable.
An energy milestone can carry years of engineering, investment and execution. The best starting point may be a piece of equipment, the shape of a facility, a map of the project or a material connected to the asset. A clear idea can be expressed in a restrained printed piece, a layered construction or a dimensional model.
You do not need a finished design. Bring us the story and the practical requirements; we will help determine the right direction.
What we commemorate
- Asset acquisitions and divestitures
- Project and infrastructure financings
- Power and renewable energy developments
- Facility openings and operating milestones
- Joint ventures and strategic partnerships
- Team and partner recognition
Design direction
Different stories. Different approaches.
01
The physical asset
A pump jack, turbine, pipeline or facility can provide a recognizable form. We simplify detail thoughtfully so it reads well at the finished size.
02
A sense of place
Field maps, project geography and site imagery can connect the piece to the work without requiring a complex model.
03
The material itself
An appropriate sample or component may become an embedment. Compatibility with the casting process needs to be checked before the design is settled.
Selected work
Ideas made physical.
Portfolio examples show different ways to represent assets and materials; they are starting points for a custom design.
Designed with the making in mind.
You work directly with experienced creative professionals. We consider the concept, materials, construction, quantity and budget together, then coordinate production with specialized manufacturing partners.
Lucite and acrylic offer custom shapes, layered graphics and suitable embedments. Crystal brings clarity, weight and etched detail. Resin, metal, wood and mixed construction make other forms and finishes possible.
The right material serves the idea. A more complicated piece is not automatically a more meaningful one.
Explore materials and methods →A physical checkpoint before production.
Every factory-produced custom project is prototyped and reviewed internally before the full run. We check proportions, materials, color, decoration, finish, assembly and stability against the approved artwork.
Client review can use photographs, video or an in-hand sample when appropriate. Completed production is also reviewed before shipment.
Planning your project
Work backward from the presentation date.
Share the quantity, budget, destination and required in-hand date early. We will recommend a feasible design and schedule, including approvals, production and delivery.

Allow for delivery, extra development and any physical sample review.
Practical answers
Questions before you begin.
Can you incorporate oil, rock or a project sample?
Some materials can be incorporated into a Lucite design. Send photographs, dimensions and a description before shipping anything. We assess stability, preparation and compatibility with casting; a replica or visual treatment may be the better solution.
Can one design work for investors and the operating team?
Yes. A shared core design can be adapted with recipient names, roles or presentation text. Discuss the recipient groups and quantities at the start so the variations remain practical to produce.
How long does a custom project take?
Initial concepts typically follow within 24–48 hours after we have the basic information. After artwork approval, many projects need approximately 3–4 weeks for prototyping and production, with shipping additional. Complex work and extra review can add time. Share the required in-hand date so we can confirm a project-specific schedule.
Is a prototype part of the process?
Every factory-produced custom project goes through prototype verification before the full run. Polaris reviews the physical piece internally. Separate client review may be by photograph, video or an in-hand sample, depending on the project.
What should we budget?
As planning ranges, classic pieces are often $80–$150 each, dimensional / constructed pieces $150–$225, and fully dimensional / sculptural pieces $200–$300+. Setup starts around $300 per order; shipping is separate. Quantity, size, detail and manufacturing method affect the custom quote, and unusually complex work can exceed these ranges.
Start with what you have
Tell us what you are commemorating.
Send the milestone, approximate quantity, target date and budget, along with draft text, logos and any reference images. We will help turn that information into a clear design direction.
