Organizations looking for special, unique awards often wonder how they can personalize their awards to be special and unique to their organization or presentation. Many organizations have grown tired of run-of-the-mill awards that don’t reflect any of the unique attributes of their organization, or speak to the unique nature of their event or presentation.

Virtually all of the customers purchasing our unique awards choose to personalize their recognition awards by incorporating a customized engraving on the marble bases of their awards. These engravings can incorporate a virtually unlimited number of text and graphic options. For example, the engraving might contain the name of the recipient, the name of the award, the name of the presenting organization, and/or a special phrase or saying. In the case of corporate awards, the text may contain the company tag-line, motto or logo.

There are two ways to incorporate a personalized engraving on these unique awards. The first, and most common, is to have the engraving etched into the black marble base of the awards. The etching can be filled with either gold or silver fill. Generally, it is a good idea for the fill cover to match the finish of the unique awards - silver fill for pewter or silver-plated pewter sculpture awards, and gold fill for gold-plated pewter and bronze sculpture awards.

The second option is to have a laser-engraved plate attached to the base of the unique awards. This plate can be either silver- or gold-plated. The advantage of the laser plate is that it is able to hold more text characters, and can contain color images (a color corporate logo, for example).

Customers of our unique awards have been thrilled with both of these options - either choice can make for a great presentation. Our consultants work closely with our customers to ensure that their award engraving adds to the beauty and impact of their awards and award presentation.

Another way that customers can choose to personalize our unique awards is by customizing a component of our award. Many of our recognition awards support elements on the award that can be changed to reflect some unique attribute of the company. Our sculpture award “Appreciation”, for example, is a figure holding an object. The standard objects that can be selected include a star, a heart and a child. Like the marble bases described above, each of these objects can be engraved with a personalized message of the customer’s choosing. In addition, we can create a custom designed object that can be used to replace one of these standard objects. A real estate company, for example, might choose to develop a home or building as the object being held in the arms of the figure. This, too, can be engraved.

Hopefully, this gives you some idea of the different options for personalizing and customizing your unique awards, and making them truly unique for your purposes. We work closely with our customers to make sure this personalization adds to the uniqueness of their event or presentation, enhancing its overall impact.
