Top tips for designing Service Awards
- Simple and bold design. Remember less is better!
- Choose contrasting colours. Dark enamel colours look best with bright gold or silver (nickel) plating. If your colours are predominantly light then you may consider black nickel plating for the raised metal areas.
- Choose any reasonable size and shape. Action Badges will create a die to produce your design. Don’t restrict your imagination - almost anything is possible!
