Gaudio’s in-house production facilities mean that an award is bespoke from top to bottom, including the size and shape. With no need to start with standard components, the unique profile of these awards is created by milling solid metal. Profiling defines that iconic interlocking arrow shape, and the cut out ‘1’ in the centre of the award.

The Official Charts Award are manufactured in both a gold and silver finish. Each have a textured brushed surface, which can be printed or engraved. The subsurface treatment that provides the rich gold colour alongside the in-house polishing means that each award is hard-wearing and less likely to tarnish over time unlike traditional plating methods. They’re a fantastic example of how a design can evolve with a new brief. Following the creation of their metal and acrylic Official Charts Awards, the Official Charts Company approached us to develop a new product that enabled music lovers to celebrate with their favourite artists.

The Official Number One Fan Award was designed in collaboration with the Official Charts Company as a collector’s item for fans with fond memories of their artists greatest hits. The silver award gets its signature profiled look from the charts’ logo, and the final design offers space for engraving of the chart-topping single and artists name, as well as a personal message. Whether it’s to immortalise a precious memory, or gift to a loved one, the Number 1 Fan Awards bring together the prestige of a Number 1 Celebration and the fans that helped make it happen.

The awards have been manufactured, personalised, and finished, and now it’s time for us to turn them around to artists and music fans across the world. For the Number 1 Fan Awards, personalised details are input online and arrive directly to Gaudio’s manufacturing space in Gloucestershire. Our team of expert craftspeople engrave each Number 1 Fan Award to order, providing quick turnaround and the convenience of online shopping for fans, without compromising on the beauty of bespoke manufacture.

From design to delivery, Gaudio have developed a global distribution system for the diverse requirements of the Official Charts Company. With plenty of room to grow, and the flexibility of bespoke product development, watch this space for more innovations from the Official Charts.
