As a fountain pen user, I wish the award looked more like its namesake.

Hi Ed,
The namesake is an inkwell, not an ink pen (or quill), the container that holds the ink that we dip into. We couldn’t find trophies shaped like inkwells. So while there were shapes that could be considered quill tips we felt that the ‘brush’ head would be, in relationship to the awards, more recognizable than the quill shape. Sorry.
Best,
Bob Almond

Thanks, Bob. I skipped right to your introductory letter, since I found the homepage a little busy, so I overlooked that. I appreciate the update.
