The Gemini was designed by award winning designer and artist Scott Thornley.

It was selected as the Academy's symbol of Canadian television excellence. Cut from solid brass, and mounted on a base of Belgian granite, the Gemini highlights graphically the individuals and disciplines behind the television camera while acknowledging the image on the screen.

Just as television is an optical illusion, so is the Gemini Award sculpture, with the leading profile's twin backing it.

This three-dimensional view, profiles the partners behind and in front of the camera, inseparable, and unable to exist without each other.
