Elevating Deal Toys with 3D Illusion

One of the biggest challenges an Investment Banker faces when designing deal toys is understanding how to incorporate their clients’ key products, services, or logo into a bespoke piece. This not only builds a personal connection for their client but also creates a lasting impression. While many professionals in the investment banking industry understand the value of creating meaningful deal toys that resonate with their most important stakeholders. However, they often rely on experts to guide them through the intricate design process to ensure the final product achieves the desired impact.

Our client, leaders in the guardrail industry, presented us with a fascinating brief, which is  to come up with a deal toy design that highlights their core business elements—guardrails and their application on mountainous roads. This challenge required innovation, creativity and attention to detail.

Our creative solution

The Altrum creative team crafted a bespoke deal toy that showcases a stunning 3D optical illusion. The top piece is meticulously made from one piece of PMMA Acrylic, custom cut and printed to depict a winding road and mountain range. This design also highlights the guardrail, a key feature of the client’s industry. For the finishing touch, a black base was selected to seamlessly blend with the road, creating a cohesive and striking design.
