At work recently we gave a small trophy to someone who came up with a new marketing slogan. It was a tiny replica of Rodin’s sculpture called ‘The Thinker’ with their name and slogan inscribed on the base. It only cost a few dollars but holds pride of place on the recipients desk. People like mementos and commemorative items – they are our memories and milestones.
There are a lot of fun things you can do with trophies. Present one to the Bachelorette at a Bachelorette party, give one to a friend who has achieved something special like running their first marathon or getting through chemo.
When you think of trophies, you probably think of your brother’s football trophies or your dad’s fishing trophies. My mechanic has a huge fish stuffed and mounted on the wall of his office! They really seem to be something linked with sport in most people’s minds and generally shaped like a giant cup with handles. That’s not always the case!
Trophies can be inscribed with any wording you like and topped with any statue or shape that you desire. . Trophies can be in the form of a column, the shape of a football or topped with a dancer.
Instead of the traditional trophy style, corporate awards can be tasteful items like desk sets and clocks. Corporate plaques are often made from Perspex or glass in order to blend in with any décor. So if you need to think of a unique gift to commemorate any special occasion, take a fresh look at trophies.
