Unique and Professional Award Trophy Ideas for B2G Tech Companies

·Sep 01, 2026 12:17 PM·

Anyone done anything particularly unique or cool for their awards (as in the physical trophy)? We've always done the typical crystal/glass award, but I've always hated how it completely disappears in photos. Our CMO is interested in doing something different, but I'm also conscious of treading the line of unique (for example, a company we acquired used to do bobblheads!) while remaining professional. We're a B2G tech company, and we want our awards to be taken seriously as something that is an honor to win. While there's some sense of humor and fun in government, I'm not sure bobbleheads will be received that well by most government customers. Would love to see examples of what others have done!

At Blackbaud we did a crystal/glass award with color to make them stand out. You can see a partial picture of them at the top of this page: https://www.blackbaud.com/impact-awards/benefits

At Verint, we also did a crystal/glass award. We did it in the shape of a V and using a shade of Verint blue to help make it a bit more distinct than the typical crystal/glass award. You can see an example in this screenshot. This is from a few years ago. We did tweak it a few times but, overall, it always followed the same form.

Love these both! Thank you for sharing! I have a feeling I may need to explore different vendors for ours, if you're comfortable sharing where you've ordered from.

Eclipse Awards This is the design we specifically used but they have lots of options: https://www.eclipseawards.com/products/crystal-manhattan-award-cosmo-print We found them to be very reasonably priced and fantastic to work with.

Not sure of the vendor (maybe Elisia Carr or Liz Richardson know) but I liked this one from CAP and it's not clear glass.
