Brown Metallic Award

The Brown Metallic Award is a wall-mounted recognition plaque built from a fused art glass center set on a finished wood board. It hangs on a wall rather than standing on a desk, so it suits lobbies, boardrooms, and hallway recognition walls. The glass carries the etched message, and the board frames it.

An art glass plaque hangs on a wall and carries its color inside the fused glass, while most crystal and acrylic awards are clear, freestanding desk pieces. The design here is cut into the glass surface with a deep etch, so the recognition text is physically carved rather than printed or laser-marked under a clear face. Wall plaques also stay on display longer in shared spaces, where a desk award is visible to one person.

The Brown Metallic Award comes in three sizes, with etching areas from 3.75 inches by 5.5 inches up to 5.5 inches by 7.75 inches. Choose the smallest size for a name, title, and date, and the largest when the citation runs several lines or the logo needs width. All three carry the same layered gold, brown marble glass, and ebony construction.

Yes. One colorfill is included, so a single ink color can be filled into the etched artwork instead of leaving a bare etch. Logos, recipient names, dates, and a citation line all etch into the same glass area. Send artwork in a vector file so fine lines in the logo hold detail at etch size.

Art glass recognition plaques are ordered most often for years of service milestones, retirement presentations, sales and top performer awards, safety record recognition, board member and donor thank you pieces, and partner or dealer of the year programs. They also work for annual meetings and grand openings, where the piece stays on a wall long after the event. Each plaque is etched individually, so a group of recipients can each receive their own name and date.

Wipe the glass and the board with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth, and use a slightly damp cloth only when needed. Keep ammonia-based glass cleaners, solvents, and abrasive pads off the piece, because they can dull the colorfill inside the etch and mark the piano finish. Dry the plaque right away instead of letting moisture sit at the edge where the glass meets the board.

The art glass component is made in America. That domestic sourcing applies to the glass itself, so it covers the etched center rather than the entire finished assembly. Ask us for sourcing details in writing if your recognition program has a domestic content requirement.

Per-unit pricing for the Brown Metallic Award depends on which of the three sizes you choose and how many pieces you order, with the cost per piece dropping as quantity rises. Extra colorfills beyond the one included, individual personalization for each recipient, and complex logo artwork also affect the final price.
