Polaris / Start a project
Tell us what you are commemorating.
You do not need a finished design.
A few practical details give us a strong starting point. Share what you know now; we can work through the rest together.
START A PROJECTThe most useful details.
The achievement
Transaction, milestone or occasion; who will receive the pieces; and anything distinctive about the story.
The practical brief
Approximate quantity, budget range, required in-hand date and shipping destination or destinations.
The starting materials
Draft deal text, logos, photographs, drawings or references. A rough idea is welcome; a complete concept is not required.
What happens after you send it?
An experienced creative professional reviews your brief and follows up on any open questions. Initial concepts are typically developed within 24–48 hours after we receive the basic project information.
We confirm the proposed design, specifications, pricing and schedule before moving into prototype verification and production.
Practical answers
Questions, answered.
Can we begin while the transaction is confidential?
Yes. Use a code name and limited information to begin. Final names, amounts and artwork can be settled as the project develops.
How long should we allow?
Initial concepts typically follow within 24–48 hours after we receive the basic brief. Many projects then need about 3–4 weeks for prototyping and production after artwork approval, with shipping additional. Revisions, client approvals and complex work can add time. We confirm a schedule for the actual 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, materials and complexity determine the custom quote, and elaborate work can exceed these ranges.
Tell us about your project.
