Fallon Melts Industry Treasures, Produces Golden Idol

Apparently Fallon is so bad-ass it would melt down One Show Pencils, Clios, Cannes Lions and even an Emmy — all those paperweights you slave so hard for — just to celebrate its staying power.

The You Are Fallon project represents 30 years of creative work and also commemorates the agency’s move to a new space. Existing and former employees donated awards they won while at Fallon, then sat back while the gold, silver and bronze bits were melted into a 175-pound plaque that simply proclaims, “We are Fallon.”

Kinda cool that people unloaded enough trinkets to produce 175 pounds’ worth of Fallon love. Provided the plaque isn’t one day lifted by a disgruntled (and extremely strong) ex-creative, it’s like being immortalized into the fabric of your second home. See making-of.
