About Rimi Riga Marathon 2020 Löparmedaljer

30-årsjubileumsmedaljen för Riga International Marathon Course har en symbolisk form som förbinder de två broarna. Den oändligt kontinuerliga bilden som representeras av den böjda 3D-ytan är designad i fem storlekar enligt medaljens körsträcka, som helmaraton och halvmaraton. Finishen är matt brons, och baksidan av medaljen är graverad med turneringens namn och körsträcka. Bandet är sammansatt av färgerna i staden Riga, med graderingar och traditionella lettiska mönster i samtida mönster.

Designed a 30th anniversary medal for all participants on Kids Day or 5 distances marathon, half marathon, 10 km, 5.5 km, 4.2 km Family run.The world is 1 through a sport and also shows the eternal friendship which also connects with an Olympic stage.The runner who had a medal in his hand piles up the landscape of river with a hollow part, and I think when you'd leave a wonderful memory of 2020 Riga marathon.A ribbon made the color of the landscape of Riga a gradation, and the surface arranged for the traditional pattern, the mileage and the back.Such as changing the color respectively according to the participation distance, I think the design which makes beautiful history in Riga.

Design Challenge: Instead of the traditional medal design, we wanted an innovative, conceptual and symbolic shape. Therefore, it is a difficult technology to make metal into 3D, but those problems have been technically solved. As you can see in the photo of the document, we made three types of finishes. We compared matte finishes and glossy finishes, and chose the most subdued finish.
The joint between the medal and the ribbon is embedded so that the metal fittings cannot be seen from the outside.
Research: The Riga Marathon medal to commemorate the 30th anniversary is a 3D model of the two bridges that connect between generations. As for the finish, I made various samples and chose a matte bronze finish.
Inspiration: 2 bridges where the history of the place name called Riga is born from the meaning as circle and connects Riga marathon course, an old town and a new town.It's regarded as the symbol which connects a heart and a heart in today and all generations with history.People of all over the world gathered through Riga marathon in the medal design, and I thought it was notional and I'd like to express the image connecting endlessly abstractly.And the course the track where a runner runs produces was made the form like the flower which celebrates an end of the 30th time of meet.I compose the surface of the medal by the curved surface, draw a three-dimensional turn and assume brilliant completion.
Project Duration: Designed in Japan between December 2019 and January 2020
Operation Flow: The world is always discriminatory and full of disparities. The world we aim for is to have everyone talk from the same perspective and remember the spirit of compassion. What people get through design will surely be a hint of a wonderful future.
