How To Design Your Custom Medals?

When you want to create your customized medals, are you confused as to where I should start and what elements to use?

That’s okay. PeaKeen will give you some ideas on custom medals that can be applied to almost all medals.

Maybe you'd like the following medal designs

We can consider this in four parts:

Part I Determine what types of competition mine

Normally, when we sell our products, we need to define our customer base and learn from them. So we need to define our customer base characteristics and their purpose.

For example, for marathon competitions, the customer groups will be:

  1. weight loss
  2. exercise
  3. exercise willpower
  4. professional and amateur marathon runners
  5. eating snacks (hhhh, in recent years, the Chinese marathon will provide some local food, part some of the runners aim to eat the local specialties)
 

For example, for marathon competitions, the customer groups will be:

  1. weight loss
  2. exercise
  3. exercise willpower
  4. professional and amateur marathon runners
  5. eating snacks (hhhh, in recent years, the Chinese marathon will provide some local food, part some of the runners aim to eat the local specialties)

When we are clear about the goals of these customers, we can make targeted responses. And these responses can be reflected in medals.

For example:

For the 1st and 2nd aims, we could add runways to the medals, with the start for overweight runners and the finish set for healthy weight runners (more suitable for marathons that do limitations in weight classes);

For the Purpose 4 crowd, we could add a scene during a sprint and then add a sprint time to provide a unique medal for those who are PB (Person Best);

For Purpose 5 runners, we can add elements of local culinary specialties to the medal design, and these can be used directly as finisher’s medals for all.

With this setup, the medals for participants will be different, and these medal distinctions can make your marathon more unique.

Part II Determining the shape of the medal

Custom medals can be made in almost any shape you need, but the overall shape of the medal will be different.

Medals are most commonly round and square, and these shapes are usually the most commonly used by competition organizers.

Already choose custom medals, so why not make your medals more specifical?

Now, a large number of competitions have begun to choose to cut out and glitter these processes, and to break through the circular limit of some elements, instead of only inside the circle. Look at the picture below, The surrounding mountains and clouds break out of the circle, It’s going to be fun, isn’t it?

Part III Determination of medal elements

The elements of the medal you can implement by the specific features of the competition, for example, for BJJ competitions, we can add the ring elements into the medal, for an urban marathon, we can add the featured buildings into the medal.

If I were to make a suggestion for the medals of the Asian Winter Games to be held in Saudi Arabia in 2029, I think it would be possible to add a desert element and then use a glitter craft that would be able to make the medals sparkle in the sunlight, as well as emphasize the miracle of desert skiing, and reproduce the snow in the desert in the medals – isn’t that pretty and unique enough?

Part IV Determine the competition logo and name

I’m sure your race has its own logo and name. Blending the logo and name into the medal makes your competition more recognized, which is believed to be what every competition organizer wants, through some special process, such as clear lacquer or glow-in-the-dark process, to make your logo and the name of the competition more distinctive.

For the competition, attracting more registrations means more registration funds, for registered players, the most attractive competition must be MEDALS, special MEDALS are often more able to attract players to participate in the competition. So, that’s why more and more event organizers are opting for custom MEDALS.
