This binder was archived at Icons as reference for Director of Product Development (Rob Klein) to archive, in the event plaque art was needed. Whether for reference use for another plaque, a variation on an existing plaque or in the event that the plaque manufacturer lost the plaque art, or Icons possibly switched plaque manufacturing companies (which never occurred).
These were used to produce sheets of plaques to test when they are shown together. Was cost effective. And Icons might have needed a few if there was a problem during the proto process.
The art plaque was the master. It would be taken to an engraving company. They would load it into their computer and print out large embossed sheets of plaques. Then Icons would cut them.
There is a section for each Studio. Much more than shown.
Really interesting to see some artwork for replicas that were never made (Jaws "Bruce", ROTLA "Chachapoyan" Warrior Idol...).
Here is a picture of some Icons Skywalker Lightsaber plaques at the stamping unit !!! Not a common thing to see...
