Military Plaques for Awards and Recognition

Six Designs for Military Wall Plaques that Allow Personalization (Text, Photos) for Individuals or Organizations

This figure shows six different designs of military wall plaques that enable text to be added for personalization (either for an organization, a unit, an individual, or a team of individuals). Any seal, logo, emblem, ,insignia etc can be carved and put on a wood plaque as an applique. Photos can also be added onto the plaques. The plaques themselves can be made of a variety of natural or stained woods (cedar, redwood, mahogany, oak, walnut, cherry) or of HDU, if painted.

The photos on this page show many examples of organizational identity, commemorative, recognition, memorial, and award wall plaques and seals for both organizations and individuals.Are you searching for (A) a custom carved wood sign or plaque that is suitable for an organizational seal, insignia or logo (e.g., a sign in the front of a base entrance or building, on the wall of a lobby, a hallway, a conference room, auditorium, office, or on the front of a podium),,which are represented by most of the photos in the Gallery below, or (B) an award, a gift or present to be given at a special event such as a military assignment or unit accomplishment/citation, a promotion, retirement party, memorial, graduation, honors or recognition meeting, or other special occasion?

Traditionally, for (B), these accomplishments have been recognized with a small trophy or an engraved brass plate on a wood plaque.,or a paper certificate, but these are small and hard to read,and they all look the same. We offer a better solution, which often costs less than a "cookie-cutter" brass plaque. Every one of our carved wood (mahogany, cherry, maple or oak) or HDU signs and plaques is custom designed and can be personalized, and we will work with you to modify an existing design or create a new design for you.Six of our popular designs are shown in the figure to the right, and there are several other examples of personalized plaques distributed in the gallery photos below.

We will design you a custom and personalized sign or plaque for free if you purchase the sign or plaque. Refer to ID numbers (e.g. V31235) if you want your sign to be similar to one or more signs shown in the galleries. A variety of existing 3D carved art icons are shown at the bottom of the page; of course, we will design and make any custom or personalized (e.g., name, rank, dates, citation) design in addition to these. For carved seals or emblems, our custom "2.5D " designs generally have multiple layers , each of which has a flat top surface but are elevated at different levels. These are about 10-30% less expensive that true 3D custom designs, which have rounded bas-relief front surfaces (continuous curvature like a sculpture) .The 3D carved design appliques at the bottom of the page are "off-the-shelf" designs and are not considered custom; any of these plus many others can be added onto a sign or plaque, any size, for $25 to $75, depending on size. We also make engraved plaques, where we carve letters and art into a wood or HDU substrate with either a CNC router or a laser engraver (for small plaques).
