Half Marathon & 5K Anniversary Wine Cork Medal
When examining its craftsmanship, it becomes evident that careful attention was given to every detail of production. Manufactured from premium-grade zinc alloy, the medal offers both durability and weight, qualities that contribute to its premium feel. The antique gold plating enhances the design by providing a sophisticated finish, while soft enamel infill brings vivid color contrast and depth to the artwork.
Equally important, the wine cork element is not merely decorative. Precision machining allows the medal to function as a genuine wine stopper, offering participants a practical accessory they can use well beyond the event. This dual functionality exemplifies the manufacturer’s commitment to innovation and utility in medal design.
It is worth noting that this medal was created specifically for a combined Half Marathon and 5K Anniversary event, an occasion that not only tested athletic endurance but also celebrated regional culture. By incorporating wine symbolism into the medal’s design, organizers succeeded in weaving together the themes of sport, festivity, and local heritage. As a result, the medal becomes more than a prize—it transforms into a storytelling piece that participants proudly display or repurpose in everyday life.

How to Design Anniversary Medals
1. Define the Theme and Purpose
Begin by identifying the core message of the anniversary. Whether it is a 10th, 50th, or 100th anniversary, the medal design should symbolize heritage, achievement, and celebration. Align the visual elements with the values of the organization or event.
2. Highlight Milestone Numbers
Incorporate the anniversary year or milestone number (e.g., “50,” “75,” “100”) prominently. Using cut-outs, raised numbers, or bold fonts ensures the milestone remains the centerpiece of the design.
3. Use Meaningful Symbols
Add icons, mascots, or emblems that represent the organization or event history. For example, dolphins, stars, or torches can convey vitality, progress, or unity. Symbols provide immediate recognition and emotional connection.
4. Choose Premium Materials
Select durable materials such as zinc alloy, brass, or iron for casting. Consider finishes like matte plating, antique effects, or dual-tone electroplating to elevate the visual appeal while ensuring longevity.
5. Incorporate 3D Relief and Textures
Enhance the medal with layered 3D reliefs, sandblasted surfaces, or polished highlights. This combination of textures creates visual depth and makes details like logos, mascots, or lettering more striking.
6. Apply Custom Coloring
Use soft enamel, hard enamel, or translucent coloring to emphasize brand identity and event details. Carefully chosen colors highlight important elements such as the anniversary year or organization initials.
7. Design a Unique Shape
Move beyond traditional round medals by experimenting with custom outlines. Shaping the medal around numbers, mascots, or symbols makes the design instantly distinctive and more memorable.
8. Add Functional Features
Consider incorporating spinning centers, cut-out sections, glow-in-the-dark effects, or dual plating. These innovative features add interactivity and increase the perceived value of the medal.
9. Pair with a Custom Ribbon
A well-designed ribbon is essential to complete the medal. Use sublimated ribbons with the organization’s colors, name, or anniversary logo. Ensure the ribbon matches the medal’s tone for a cohesive presentation.
10. Focus on Event Storytelling
Finally, ensure the medal tells a story. Each design element—from the plating finish to the emblem placement—should connect back to the anniversary celebration. The goal is to create not just an award but a lasting keepsake that participants will treasure.
