Statuette
The original GLAAD Media Award stood approximately 6-inches tall, consisting of a flat, 5-inch square shaped crystal sculpture with a design of five concentric circles on a "newsprint" background. The sculpture was traditionally etched with the year it was presented followed by the words "GLAAD Media Award" and was mounted perpendicular to its flat, quadrant shaped base.
The award remained unchanged until 2009, when an all new statuette designed by David Moritz of Society Awards was unveiled for the 20th annual GLAAD Media Awards ceremonies. The current statuette stands 12-inches tall, consisting of a 9-inch die-cast zinc sculpture resembling a pair of wings, hand finished with a satin texture, plated with a nickel and rhodium finish, and mounted on a 3-inch tall, black-stained ash, trapezoidal shaped base.
