With just 8 days remaining until the opening of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, the final countdown has begun! When the Olympic flame is lit for the first time in two cities—at Milan's Arco della Pace and Cortina's Piazza Dibona—this grand winter spectacle will officially commence. This is not only a competition for top athletes but also a global showcase of culture, design, and innovation. For brands, companies, and organizations seeking unique ways to engage with this monumental event, now is the perfect time to transform Olympic passion into "lasting, tangible memorabilia".
Before the Games begin, understanding these core highlights can help you better capture their essential spirit for your commemorative projects:
1."Twin-City Torches, A Historic First" These Games will feature the first dual-city main torch design. Inspired by Da Vinci’s knot and crafted from aerospace-grade aluminum, it symbolizes connection and harmony between venues—offering unique thematic directions like "unity" and "twin cities" for custom items.
2."A Premier Fusion of Art and Sport" The opening ceremony, produced by Balich Wonder Studio, will feature international stars like Andrea Bocelli, Lang Lang, and Mariah Carey. This promises an event rich in "artistic influence and premium quality", a tone that should be reflected in commemorative designs.
3."Digital-First Experience & Youth Engagement" With digital-only tickets and the "Promo26" youth program, the Games emphasize "innovation, accessibility, and a future-forward vision". Commemorative designs could consider incorporating digital interactive elements (like QR codes on custom medals) or launching trendy collections that appeal to younger audiences.
4. "The Cultural Code of the Official Soundtrack" The official soundtrack, "Fantasia Italiana" by Dardust, blends traditional and electronic music—an auditory interpretation of "modern Italian spirit" . This inspires us to see commemoratives as a **fusion of materials**, where the solemnity of metal, the vibrance of enamel, and the modernity of acrylic collide.
While the grand event will eventually conclude, a meticulously designed custom medal or keepsake can "physically and permanently preserve" the frozen glory, team effort, or brand participation.
As professional manufacturers, we suggest transforming the Winter Games theme into moving custom pieces from the following dimensions:
"Theme Distillation, Storytelling Through Detail"
"Core Symbols" Translate unique elements like the "twin torches", "Da Vinci's knot", Alpine silhouettes, and official colors into "embossed, cut-out, or printed patterns" on medals.
"Games Spirit" Convey concepts like "Harmony", "Sustainability" and "Passion" through fluid lines and the choice of eco-friendly materials
"Cultural Fusion" Subtly incorporate iconic Italian artistic patterns or Milan's fashionable geometric lines to add design depth.
Use zinc alloy, copper, or stainless steel to express metallic texture and weight, paired with ice-snow-like plating (matte silver, ice blue or enamel filling in the Italian flag's three colors. Employ 3D relief, special-shaped cutting, double-sided design , or even combine with partial epoxy dome to create more layered and unique keepsakes.
