A method of cold forming a glass laminate structure. The method includes assembling a multi-layer structure having two buffer plates and a glass laminate structure intermediate the two buffer plates, wherein one or both of the two buffer plates includes a pattern formed thereon or therein or the multi-layer structure includes non-deformable materials forming a pattern. The method further includes cold forming the glass laminate structure in the autoclave by heating the assembled structure to a temperature about 5 to 10 degrees above the softening point of the polymer interlayer for a predetermined period of time at a predetermined pressure. After processing the glass laminate structure can be removed from between the buffer plates wherein the pattern formed in or on the one or both buffer plates or non-deformable materials has been transferred to the glass laminate structure as a function of variances of thicknesses in the glass laminate structure.
