These are the biggest 2022 design trends to take note of for your custom awards.
There has been a noticeable trend among clients using AI-generated mockups for their custom awards. These mockups can jump-start the custom design process, with the hope of improved convenience, speed and cost-effectiveness. Oftentimes these images can be a conversation-starter as award inspiration.

The process required to create our achievement awards is different for each type of award: bronze sculpture awards, pewter sculpture awards, crystal awards, glass awards, custom-cut metal awards, etc. Each of these processes is unique and fascinating, and requires the work of highly skilled artisans with many years of experience. Here are some behind-the-scenes images and video of how a custom bronze sculpture award is finished.
To help our clients get an idea of the types of awards created in their industries, we’ve launched industry-focused landing pages. We intend for these curated pages to illuminate the scope of projects currently being worked on in each industry, along with our capabilities for creativity in terms of material, design and technology. Listed below are the industries we’ve curated collections for currently.
Custom machined sculptures are among our most requested recognition awards. In this blog post, we’ll overview machined awards and show examples of custom awards we’ve created for clients. Machining is a production method where blocks or sheets of material are cut into custom shapes. These pieces are then finished and hand assembled. Instead of pouring liquid material into a mold, as with our alternative, cast sculpture award process, our creative machining process starts with solid blocks or sheets of material like aluminum and acrylic.
With extra care to ensure that your custom award design captures the true essence of your brand and/or event positioning, and delivers a “wow” factor that your award recipients and other stakeholders will never forget, we hope your awards will leave a lasting impact for years to come. With that in mind, here are the following guidelines to care for your custom acrylic award:
