Custom sports medals are one of the elements that influence the image of organized competitions. A suitable design will not only attract additional competitors who would like to win it but also draw attention of the media and the public. How to design a sports medal which, apart from being a prize for the participants, will also be a signature of the event?
The most important elements of sports medals for competitions
The first thing you have to start with when preparing a design of sports medals for competitions will be two basic information that should appear on every single medal: the date of the event and its name. By placing these elements on your project, you will make sure that the name of the event and the date on which it takes place will be remembered by the participants. This is especially important for cyclical events, which always take place on the same day of a given month. When preparing your design of a sports medal for competitions remember to include the name and date of the event.
A good project consists not only of a name and a date
The name and date of the event are just the basic information that must be included on your medal. However, they do not affect its attractiveness, so apart from them, your medal should contain other distinctive elements
The first one is the logo of your event, which will also help you to strengthen the image of the event.
Another element that will influence the attractive appearance of your medal is a theme referring to the theme of your event.
Additional elements of medal design projects
If there is enough space on the medal, you can also try to add additional information about the event to the design, like running distance, age category, edition, etc.
What distinguishes sports medals for events from other medals, such as commemorative medals is a sash, thanks to which the medals can be proudly hung on participants’ necks. When creating a medal design for your event remember to include a sash.
