Instead of settling for the boring old traditional trophy in the form of a cup, why not consider having a custom made trophy manufactured. You can choose any design to represent what the trophy is being awarded for or you can have a specialised artist or graphic designer create the perfect design for you. There are also a wide range of materials from which the trophy can be made. You can choose traditional bronze or other metals or you can opt for a more modern glass or acrylic trophy. Find out more about sand blasting, etching and engraving which can add to the distinctive design of your custom made trophy.

Historical background
Pendants have always been seen as works of art even in the Greek and Roman times. The Roman pendants introduced realistic portraits of the sports or events for which the medals were awarded. Sculptors in the 19th century crafted elaborate pendants and thereby re-introduced the artistic element to medal-making.

Custom made medals are not modern inventions. The Victorian Cross, a British medal was introduced during the Crimean War in 1856 as an award to soldiers who showed extreme bravery during the course of a battle. The achievement awards were crafted from bronze that came from captured armour. Other medals of the time were that of the Distinguished Service Cross, and later the Star awarded for participation in the First World War.
Heroism has always been associated with the military awards, just as top achievement is today associated with custom made medals whether in sports, academics, cultural activities, and the arts. More affordable than trophies the custom made medals can be awarded to all the team members or participants of events such as marathons.

When should you award custom sports medals and which types are available? These two questions are frequently asked by managers at event organizing companies, sport clubs, schools, and universities alike.
Generic awards are well suited for handing out at the end-of-year prize giving to award participants in particular sports for their commitment to the sport. You will also award the athletes with general medals when they form part of a team and have won the particular league. The team will get the custom trophy to be displayed while all the members each get a generic award. Custom sports medals on the other hand can be awarded for the top performers in particular areas, the winners at sports events, and for special occasions. In such instances generic awards will hardly serve the purpose and we will recommend custom sports medals.
Types available
The sky is the limit when it comes to customization. In general special metals and alloys are used with gold plating where required. The design will be imbedded and the item polished. You can select between matt and gloss finishes and the appropriate ribbons to go along with the pendant. In addition we can also ensure that embossing is done or that your corporate, school or club logo is prominently displayed. Whether you require awards for karate, soccer, tennis, chess, dancing or athletics we have the design capability to ensure unique end-products that can be worn with pride.
We are located in Garsfontein in the east of Pretoria, but with our online facility and contact office it is possible to design and deliver products anywhere in South Africa. Companies from Cape Town and Durban right through to places such as Welcome, Nelspruit, and Johannesburg are no problem.

Long gone are the days of using medals only in the military, academic, and sport fields to reward outstanding performance. The same pride that is associated with being properly recognized in any of the above fields is present in the corporate world when medals are received for outstanding work. Most companies simply rely on certificates and a cash bonus to reward employees. What about medals as rewards? Just think about it – everyone gives a watch after five or ten year’s service, but what about a medal that can be hanged on someone’s wall showing that their loyalty and hard work do count?
What about the sales person of the year or the person rewarded for outstanding customer service? Give unique medals which are available right here and which can be customized to include your company logo or the specific department together with the achievement.
