The Financial tombstone
design brief

The advisor sought to showcase their client’s unique capabilities in a special and memorable way through a custom-designed deal toy. The objective was to capture the essence of the company’s expertise in a tangible and visually striking form.

Altrum Design
Solution

Our expert creative team developed a unique concept leveraging the power of 3D printing technology. We crafted a bespoke deal toy composed of two exclusive 3D prints:

  • Custom-Colored Pipe Cross-Section: A vibrant, custom-colored 3D print of a pipe cross-section, representing the core product of the company. This element served as the foundation of the design, symbolizing the company’s strong presence in the industry.
  • Intricate 3D Printed Welder: An intricately detailed 3D print of a welder in action, complete with tools and a chair, meticulously airbrushed in silver. This dynamic element captured the essence of the company’s emergency repair services and skilled workforce.

To complement the industrial aesthetic, we mounted these 3D elements on a sleek black crystal base with a silver metal plate for the deal details. This added a touch of sophistication while maintaining the overall industrial theme.

The Result
A unique deal toy design

The final M&A tombstone was well received by the client, exceeding their expectations. It served as a unique and lasting reminder of the successful transaction, effectively showcasing the company’s core strengths and capabilities in a visually compelling manner.

This project highlights the importance of close collaboration and communication with our clients. By understanding their specific needs and desired messaging, we were able to design a truly bespoke deal toy that resonated with the client and effectively conveyed the value of their company. This personalized approach ensures that each Altrum design creation serves as a powerful symbol of achievement and a lasting tribute to the dedication and expertise of all parties involved in the transaction.
