Incorporate Your Branding
Ensure your ribbons feature your logo, brand colors, and fonts. This helps in reinforcing your brand identity throughout the event. By incorporating these elements, you create a cohesive look that aligns with your organization’s image. Brand consistency is key to making a memorable impact.
Choose the Right Material
Select the ribbon material that best suits your event type and audience. Satin for elegance, grosgrain for durability, cotton for sustainability. The choice of material can affect the overall feel and perception of the ribbon. For instance, satin ribbons add a touch of luxury, making them ideal for high-end events, while grosgrain ribbons and cotton ribbons are perfect for events that require more durability and resilience.
Use Clear and Readable Fonts
Opt for fonts that are easy to read from a distance. This ensures that your message is clear to all attendees. When choosing fonts, consider the size and style. Avoid overly decorative fonts that might be difficult to read. Legibility is crucial, especially if the ribbons are meant to convey important information or names.
Consider the Length
Make sure the length of the ribbon is appropriate for its use, whether it’s for badges, gifts, or decorations. The length of the ribbon can affect its functionality. For example, shorter ribbons may be suitable for badges and name tags, while longer ribbons might be better for wrapping gifts or creating decorative bows. Proper sizing ensures that the ribbons serve their intended purpose effectively.

The truth is, there is no one-size-fits-all checklist to creating “the perfect'' custom medal. However, there are a handful of commonalities that -when used properly- have proven time and time again to result in some of the best, most unique running medals ever. These relate to details like medal size, thickness, finish, neck ribbon, etc. Most importantly, a great running medal has a well-thought-out design that exudes harmony and balance in every aspect.
Below is a list of the most common things that make a great running medal:
It is safe to say that most people love a (high-quality) big medal. Whether it’s a classic circle or a custom shape that fits the theme of your event...generally, bigger is better. Over the many years of supplying custom running medals to event directors, the best feedback and excitement revolves around 2.5” and up medals. The most common are 3”- 5”.
Yes, small medals can be stunning too, but keep in mind a smaller medal can present design limitations; you’ll have less space to work with overall, and the size (width) of your neck ribbon will need to be customized accordingly. For example, a neck ribbon with a 1.5” width paired with a medal the size of a silver dollar would look ridiculous!
Since thickness is a component of “size,” you should also consider this essential detail when deciding on the size of your custom running medal. Of the thousands of custom medals we've created for running events, the ones that get raved about the most are 5-millimeters thick (and up).
By utilizing these particular elements of size, you can be sure to impress participants with the look, feel, heft, and overall significance of the unique token of achievement dedicated to your event. To put it simply, the bigger the size of the medal, the greater the perceived value associated with it. This makes your participants feel special and elevates the status of your event.
While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a 1-sided medal, having a 2-sided medal opens up all kinds of exciting possibilities for design. You’ve now got twice the room to play with, which means more room for design elements, sponsor logos, and more. You can really “wow” participants by simply using a design feature they haven’t seen before.
For example, this highly 3D sculpted Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon medal features the face/front of the flying pig on the front side of the medal. When you flip to the back-side of the medal, it features the pig's round, plump “back-side” and the back of his detailed wings as if he is flying away...it’s such a classic yet unique and fun running medal.
