Beyond the Glass Cube:
The Power of a Well-Crafted Deal Toy
Why Generic Awards Miss the Mark
Generic Awards End Up in the Trash
Executives often tell us the same story. After years of receiving identical glass blocks, they eventually throw them away.
Not because the work lacked value, but because the awards lacked meaning.
They didn’t represent the strategy, the teamwork, or the significance of the achievement.
The Solution: Bespoke Commemoratives
It Tells the Story of the Deal
A custom deal toy is more than an object. It’s a crafted symbol that honors the process behind the transaction. A well-designed piece captures the strategy, creative thinking, and collaboration that made the deal possible.
We design and produce deal toys for a wide range of sectors, including:
Finance: M&A, IPOs, fund closings, structured finance, recapitalizations.
Technology: Funding rounds, product launches, patent achievements.
A Lost Opportunity for Connection
When a deal toy doesn’t tell the story of the transaction, it becomes forgettable. A generic award fails to capture:
the unique narrative of the deal
the shared effort behind closing it
the pride teams feel in accomplishing something difficult
A missed opportunity for storytelling is a missed opportunity for recognition.
It’s a Powerful Branding Tool
Custom awards become subtle but consistent reminders of who worked on the transaction. They build identity, strengthen culture, and reinforce client relationships. A meaningful piece stays on a desk, in a conference room, or on a shelf for years.
The Polaris Approach:
Direct Creative Collaboration
Most companies separate clients from the people who actually design the awards.
At Polaris, clients work directly with our artists and designers. No sales layers, no intermediaries, no lost details.
This approach ensures:
higher creativity
better storytelling
more precise execution
a final piece that reflects the full significance of the deal
If you’re marking an upcoming deal, celebrating a milestone, or building an internal recognition program, we’re here to help.
Direct Access to Experts
Our team combines creative design experience with hands-on knowledge of Lucite, crystal, resin, and mixed materials, allowing us to create pieces that are visually striking and technically sound.
When you work with Polaris, you work directly with industry-leading experts who not only know every element of production from start to finish, they understand how hard you work on the deals we commemorate.
You work with people who care as much about the deal toy as you care about the deal itself.
Broad Expertise Across Industries
Real Estate: Acquisitions, development milestones, portfolio expansions.
Pharmaceutical: FDA approvals, clinical trials, key research breakthroughs.
Whatever the transaction, we design commemoratives that reflect the heart of the story.
