Academy Awards Envelopes Designer Announced

It seems at once as both the most trivial and most important part of the entire Academy Awards, so while your eyes might not be entirely honed on the envelope as a winner is announce, you’ll undoubtedly be eager to have it opened. Because the Oscar envelope holds such importance the organization has released information on the design of the folded paper. This year, designer Marc Friedland, of the firm Creative Intelligence has been retained to design them, creating perhaps the most high-profile, finest-to-touch envelopes of the year. Here are the details:

Friedland’s custom-designed envelope will be handcrafted from a high-gloss, iridescent metallic gold paper stock, with a red-lacquered lining featuring the Oscar statuette hand-stamped in satin gold leaf.

The winner’s name will be printed in charcoal ink and mounted onto a matching, red lacquer hand-wrapped frame. The back of the card will be printed with the award category.

After final tabulation of the ballots PricewaterhouseCoopers will insert the appropriate announcement cards and fasten the envelope with a red double-faced satin ribbon and a red-lacquered and gold-embossed seal featuring the PwC logo.
