Types of Corporate Awards

There are many types of corporate awards used to recognize achievements by employees and to reward performance. Once upon a time an employee could expect to receive an award certificate or plague as a form of employee reward. Nowadays employees might receive many types of awards: crystal awards, clocks, leather goods, custom gift pens, obelisks for display on the desk, soaring eagle awards, art glass and many others. I would like to list the most popular and interesting corporate awards currently available.

The eagle award has become one of the most popular of contemporary awards today. It's eye-catching and artistic and it's symbolism is easy to understand. The craftsmanship of the eagle award is stunning and created by top artists in the field of trophy design. Sometimes referred to as a "soaring eagle trophy", it represents achievement, leadership and nobility.

Star awards are another type of recognition award with an easy to understand symbolic message: the recipient is a star of the company or team and you recognized their achievement. Often made of thick mitered and polished crystal, it is not only symbolic but it's physical weight conveys it's importance and value.

The classic standby of achievement awards is the corporate award plaque. One of their great features are their versatility. A wall plaque can be customized to recognize almost any achievement, milestone or event. They can be school awards, sports awards, military awards, civic awards, corporate awards, used as prizes or as recognition of events or milestones. The variations are almost limitless in size, style and design, with etched and layered images and background materials from wood to marble, acrylic, and stone.

The pyramid award, much like the Egyptian pyramids which inspire them, represent a striving for the sky and achievements that last the test of time. They're the result of hard work and overcoming the slippery slope to the top through skill, focus and relentless determination.Like crystal awards, they are heavy and substantial to hold and convey great value and strength.

The crystal award is an impressive recognition award available in an almost endless array of designs and styles. It can be shaped into many forms including star awards, eagle awards, obelisks, pyramids, golf balls, cubes, globes.... almost anything. The light refracting through a crystal awards when accented by the personalized etching of skilled artisans provides a perceived value to be appreciated by the presenter and the recipient. 

Award clocks make not only great corporate recognition awards, they are functional. Because of their functionality, they're more likely to be displayed and appreciated for years to come. Many styles and materials are available for display on desks and walls in the office or home.

Custom engraved pens are another corporate award appreciated for their recognition, quality and functionality. If you want to reward someone with a gift pen, there's nothing quite like an engraved cross pen personalized for the recipient. They can have customized finishes, colors, engraving and logs.
