3 Beautiful Crystal Awards for Corporate Leaders
3 Beautiful Crystal Awards for Corporate Leaders

What are 3 beautiful crystal awards for corporate leaders that excel in your office? Read on and we’ll give you our picks for the most stunning crystal awards for corporate leaders.

You should always put thought and effort into picking the right kind of employee recognition trophies, especially for those that will be awarded to corporate leaders. This includes people in executive positions like chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief information officer, chief marketing officer, chief financial officer, and vice president.

Your organization may have slightly different names for these positions, or might have the same person fulfilling multiple of these roles. Regardless, it’s crucial to extend the breadth of your employee recognition programs to the people in these important positions because they do so much for your company.

Why Corporate Leaders Love Crystal Awards

Because your corporate leaders do so much important work, you need to give them a special kind of award that truly symbolizes how appreciative you are. A simple plaque or plastic trophy won’t do. No, your corporate leaders should get the best kind of employee recognition trophies available – crystal awards.

Some may argue that glass is the superior material, but when you compare the two, it’s clearly crystal. What makes crystal awards so great? Compared to glass, crystal awards are more transparent and far stronger. This is because crystal contains as much as 30% more minerals like lead which makes it more durable and able to reflect light beautifully. This also means crystal is denser, and because the molecules are packed together more tightly, the material is heavier than glass. This will give the award more weight, both literally and metaphorically.

The higher concentration of minerals also allows for more creativity in the shaping of awards because crystal is a lot more malleable than glass. Lastly, crystal also has better reflecting properties and is more transparent than glass.

High-Quality Crystal Leadership Awards

Crystal awards are more majestic and opulent than glass, can be created in a variety of different shapes, and don’t come with the same high risk of breaking if dropped. This makes them the best way to express gratitude and recognize top performance among your corporate leaders. Now, let’s discuss the 3 most beautiful crystal awards we have to offer!

Leadership Eagle Award

Crystal eagle award for leaders

In our culture, eagles are synonymous with many of the things you’d look for in a corporate leader like respect, honesty, truth, integrity, victory, and resilience. Eagles are also known to symbolize determination and represent the drive within us to push further and reach higher. Therefore, they make perfect sense, and this crystal leadership eagle award brings the bird of prey to life with wings outstretched, ready to take flight, in stunning crystal. The award can symbolize how the recipient soars above and beyond expectations.

Empire Crystal Globe

Crystal globe award for corporate leaders

This award features a dynamic design with a crystal globe award model of the Earth propped up by three curved pillars, all of which reflect light beautifully. The globe is 4 inches in diameter, and the award itself is 12 inches tall, large enough to stand out but not too big that it’s distracting. The globe design makes this award perfect for your corporate leaders that manage international branches of your business or make global sales.

Apex Obelisk Crystal Award

The Apex Obelisk crystal award isn’t just one of our best-selling crystal awards; it’s one of our best-selling corporate awards – period. Its popularity is likely due to the impeccable design and craftsmanship on the obelisk that stands at 10 inches tall with bevels that reflect light beautifully. The towering nature of the obelisk can represent how the award’s recipient has risen above their peers.

Plaque or Trophy? We Can Help You Decide!
Plaque or Trophy? We Can Help You Decide!

It’s a good sign when you’re having a tough time narrowing down the list of employees who are up for an award – every company would love to have multiple employees who are highly motivated, hardworking problem solvers that can always be counted on – and they should be recognized, but it can be hard to figure out what kind of award is best. Do you get a plaque or a trophy? Not to worry, because as the nation’s premier supplier of recognition EDCO is here to help you figure out the best way to show staff, team, or customers that you recognize their excellence, commitment, and passion.

Employee recognition awards can largely be split into two groups: plaques and trophies. However, prior to deciding which of these options to go with, you’ll want to determine what exactly corporate awards mean to your business. You want awards to speak to the services you provide, as well as company values or a company mission, so it’s important to walk the right line when it comes to recognizing employee achievement. You don’t want these awards to lose their meaning or have their purpose lost.

Considering the many benefits of a good employee recognition program such as increased motivation and employee morale, it’s paramount to get things like this so it can be a win-win for the business and the people who make it successful. Whether you choose a plaque or trophy may seem like an insignificant decision, but it’s important and there are several things to consider.

Plaques make excellent award displays

Award Plaques vs. Trophies

So, should you get a plaque or a trophy? Each has their own pros and cons. Trophies obviously don’t take up any wall space and while they do take up desk space they can be passed around among employees. For example, an employee of the month award can be transferred from recipients on a monthly basis. This doesn’t just save space but it will save the company money as well because it’s one less thing that needs to be purchased every month. If you won’t have wall space to spare or are particular about the things that go up in the workplace, trophies are they way to go.

 There are also more unique designs and materials to pick from with trophies, giving you the ability to bestow an award that’s truly different and exclusive. With plaques the materials and designs are far more limiting while employee of the month trophies can be made out of glass, crystal, or acrylic and shaped into a wide variety of different designs. At EDCO, we have a wide selection of gorgeous crystal awards shaped into diamond, flame, stars, globes, and more alongside pristine glass awards in black, red, green, blue colors and artistic shapes.

On the other hand, award plaques take up no desk space. If your office space has limited space, or is already quite cluttered, employee recognition plaques would be the smart choice and won’t get in the way of things. However, there are some plaques that can be both freestanding and hung on a wall which give you far more versatility than a trophy. Additionally, this gives the recipient far more freedom to either use their desk or wall space as they see fit.

While the design options are a little more limiting, EDCO carries glass and acrylic plaques in addition to the typical wooden and metallic variants. There are also typically more customization options with plaques, as most have space for more than just an employee name and year to be added while not all trophies have much space for engraving.
