An International Sporting Platform
DP World ILT20 is one of the UAE’s most prominent international sporting platforms, bringing together global cricket talent, regional leadership, and world-class organisation. Operating on a highly visible international stage, the league represents excellence in sport, partnership, and global engagement.
Crystal Arc partnered with ILT20 to create bespoke commemorative pieces that reflected the league’s stature, precision, and international presence
Designing a Partnership Memento
Across two key projects, Crystal Arc developed custom mementos and presentation pieces for ILT20, each aligned with the league’s identity and ceremonial requirements. Each project was approached with a focus on clarity, balance, and authority, ensuring the final objects felt appropriate for senior leadership, international stakeholders, and formal presentation contexts.
All projects were designed and produced fully in-house at Crystal Arc, allowing complete control over form, materials, finish, and timelines.
The Piece in Focus
The primary project focused on a high-level commemorative memento created to mark the DP World ILT20–SACF partnership, designed for official presentation during a formal ceremony in Riyadh.
The piece combines crystal and metal elements in a balanced architectural composition, with a suspended circular emblem symbolising global participation and the universality of sport. A refined arc structure introduced movement and continuity, while the engraved base carried the league’s positioning statement, reinforcing brand presence without overpowering the form.
Materials and Craft
Material selection and craftsmanship were central to the execution. Polished metal accents were paired with clear crystal to create contrast, depth, and visual clarity under stage lighting.
Proportion and weight were carefully calibrated to ensure the piece felt substantial and authoritative when presented, appropriate for a moment involving senior leadership and international stakeholders. Precision engraving and clean transitions between materials ensured the memento maintained a refined, ceremonial presence.
In-House Production and Presentation
Both projects were designed and produced fully in-house at Crystal Arc, including design development, fabrication, finishing, engraving, and custom presentation. This end-to-end control ensured consistency, discretion, and flawless execution.
Presented at the Tournament
A defining moment came when the commemorative piece was presented by His Royal Highness Prince Saud bin Mishal Al Saud to Khalid Al Zarooni, during the DP World ILT20–SACF partnership celebration in Riyadh. This presentation marked a milestone moment for the league and reinforced Crystal Arc’s role as a trusted partner for high-[rpgile international sporting platforms.
