Description
A black crystal award built as a landscape slab of optical crystal, split corner to corner on the diagonal so the lower left is solid black and the upper right stays clear. It sits in a black block base, and an executive hands it over at a year end review.
Three sizes are made, 7 by 5 inches, 9.5 by 7 inches and 11.75 by 8.5 inches, which lets one program run a headline piece and a set of runners up in the same design. Deep etching goes on the back of the slab, from 3 by 5 inches on the smallest to 5 by 8 inches on the largest, and the etch reads through the clear half while the black half gives the text a solid backdrop. Colorfill and a second position etch are both optional, so a brand color can be carried into the artwork or a sponsor line added below. Banks, agencies, law firms and manufacturers use the landscape format because it fits a shelf beside books rather than above them.
Anyone comparing crystal awards for a mixed program often puts the Custom Sphere Globe next to this piece, since the two occupy different ends of the same shelf. The globe is compact and round, and it suits a gift that travels home in a bag. The split slab is wide and flat, and it suits a wall unit or a reception counter where it will be read rather than handled.
Pick a size, send the logo, and ask for the colorfill option on the proof, and you will see the finished layout against the dark half before the five working day build.

Frequently Asked Questions
What gives the black crystal award its two tone look?
The black crystal award is split corner to corner, with the lower half in solid black optical crystal and the upper half clear. The diagonal line is part of the material rather than a printed effect, so it will not wear off. A black block base carries the slab and keeps the dark side visually anchored.
How many sizes does the black crystal award come in?
The black crystal award is made at 7 by 5 inches, 9.5 by 7 inches and 11.75 by 8.5 inches. All three are landscape, so the piece reads as a plaque on a shelf rather than a column. The largest suits a lobby, and the smallest suits a desk beside a monitor.
Where does the etching sit on a black crystal award?
The black crystal award is deep etched on the back of the slab, in areas of 3 by 5, 4 by 6 or 5 by 8 inches according to size. Reading from the front, the artwork appears within the crystal, with the black half acting as a backdrop for the text. A second position etch can be added when a sponsor also needs a line.
Can a brand color be added to the engraved artwork?
The black crystal award takes an optional colorfill in the etched areas. Filling the etch with a brand color lifts a logo that would otherwise read as frosted white across two very different backgrounds. Supply the color reference with the artwork and we will match it on the proof.
What kind of recognition suits a landscape award like this?
The black crystal award suits annual results, deal closings, board service and supplier partnerships that ran for years. Banks, agencies, law firms and manufacturers pick the landscape format because it sits beside books on a shelf instead of towering over them. The dark half gives the piece a formal tone that fits a corporate setting.
How long is the lead time after proof approval?
The black crystal award is built in five working days from artwork approval. Colorfill does not change that schedule, though it does make the proof stage more important, since color choices are hard to judge from a description. A rush option can be quoted when a date is close.
Does the black crystal award need a separate base?
The black crystal award comes with its black block base as part of the piece. The slab seats into the block, so there is nothing to assemble or align on arrival. That base is also what keeps a wide landscape slab from tipping forward.
How much does a black crystal award cost for ten pieces?
The black crystal award is priced by size, quantity, the etch area used and whether colorfill or a second position is added. Ten identical pieces are quoted at a better unit rate than ten individually worded ones, because setup repeats. Send the size and the wording and we will put it in writing.
