Color Accented Glass Awards
Clear glass is elegant, but a little color makes an award yours. Ours come in blue, green, amber, red, and deep purple, with the color set into the piece so it shows from any angle. Engraving is free, you'll approve a proof before production, and you can order just one.
How Color Gets Into the Glass
There are two ways the color shows up. Some pieces are colored all the way through. That color comes from adding small amounts of metal oxides while the glass is molten: cobalt for blue, iron for green, gold or selenium for red, and other minerals for amber and purple. Because the color is in the glass itself, it reads the same from any angle and will not fade.
Others are color-accented, where a clear glass award is paired with a colored base, a colored panel, or a band of color along an etched edge. The clear glass keeps the engraving crisp while the accent frames it and picks up a brand color. Either way, the engraving stays free and you approve a proof before we make anything.
Choosing a Color-Accented Glass Award
When moments call for more than plain glass, like a winning team or a milestone retirement, colored glass awards balance style and cost. Most sit in a friendly price range, so you can recognize a whole group without blowing the budget. Add a name, a date, and a short line of thanks, and the color does the rest.
The color carries meaning, so pick it on purpose. Blue is a popular choice for corporate and sales awards, other colors can highlight your brand or theme while enhancing the engraving.
What the Color Says and Where It Fits
Color carries meaning, so it is worth picking on purpose. Match it to your brand or to the moment:
- Blue reads as trust and stability, which is why it shows up on so many corporate and sales awards.
- Green fits growth and achievement, a natural pick for sales and results.
- Red brings energy and stands out, good for a top performer.
- Amber or gold feels warm and prestigious, a fit for a milestone or an anniversary.
- Purple reads as distinction and creativity.
- Black or silver accents give a sleek, modern, executive look.
These suit the moments that call for more than plain glass, like a winning team, a fire or police department honor, or a milestone retirement. Most sit in a friendly price range, so you can recognize a whole group without stretching the budget. Add a name, a date, and a short line of thanks, and the color does the rest.
