Ways to Make Custom Trophies More Special

Custom awards and trophies are some of the coolest types of awards you can present to someone. With the ability to design custom trophies in just about any size, shape, color, and material you could want, there are endless ways to create custom award trophies that will always be treasured.

Go beyond simply adding someone's name to an award to make it “custom.” Use these ideas to create custom trophies awards that become truly memorable keepsakes.

Design an Award in a Unique Shape

Don't limit yourself to creating an award trophy in a classic rectangular shape. Custom trophies can take any form you want, and they can even forgo a pedestal to become a sculptural trophy. You can tailor the award to:

· The accomplishment or purpose of the award

· The occasion or title of the awards ceremony

· The environment where the award is being presented

· The personality of the recipient

Another way to differentiate custom awards even more is by color. If you want to make custom trophies similar shapes, make each one a different hue so each recipient gets an award that is one-of-a-kind.

Incorporate an Image That Represents Your Brand

Crystal awards and other types of custom trophies enable brands to add imagery that relates to their business or organization. Make the image as standout or subtle as you want by adjusting the color. Add a brand logo to a corner of the award or make it the background for the entire award.

With custom awards, you can incorporate several types of designs into one award. For example, the top half of an award can be all about the brand, taking on the corporate persona with a formal logo to identify the giver of the award, while the bottom half of a custom award can be a completely different color or design aesthetic.

Add More Personal Details

Yes, you should engrave someone's name on a custom trophy you're giving them, but what about other details that will help them to remember the purpose of the award and the occasion? In addition to a name and title of the award recipient, considering adding:

· Full date or year

· Something that distinguishes the recipient, such as their tenure with a company or the role they played when they got the award

· Award title or reason the person is receiving the award

In the future, when the recipient looks back at the award, they'll remember the kindness of your organization, which is beneficial for your brand reputation.
