At MedalStudio, we\u2019ve spent years creating custom medals and awards that help commemorate all kinds of occasions. That\u2019s why, in this article, we\u2019ll share 5 creative medal ideas for the following types of events:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Running or cycling event<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fitness competition<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Team building<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sustainable events<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Charity event<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to get started? Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1 Running or Cycling Event <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Running and<a href=\"https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/award-collection\/cycling-awards\/\"> cycling event awards <\/a>are by far the most requested, which has given us the opportunity to work with a wide range of styles and visual elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, <strong>our favourite designs are those that symbolise the location of the race.<\/strong> For example, if the race takes place in a city like London, you might feature the skyline or one of its most iconic landmarks, such as Big Ben.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/run-medal-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"bespoke medal\n\" class=\"wp-image-602\" style=\"width:510px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/run-medal-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/run-medal-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/run-medal-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/run-medal-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/run-medal.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Custom medals don\u2019t need to follow the traditional round shape!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also essential to include the distance run on the medal. You can add the event logo and, if possible, the participant\u2019s name<strong>. Personalisation creates a strong emotional connection and helps make each runner feel that their effort has truly been recognised.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget, you can play with colour. So if you\u2019re organising a colour run or a children\u2019s race, we recommend using bright colours like yellow or green. And remember, the ribbon is part of the medal too, so choose colours that match the overall theme of your event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At MedalStudio we offer a free design service includes us putting together a visual representation based on the information and logos or images you provide us with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Looking for more inspiration? This quick guide is full of fresh <a href=\"https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/favourite-running-medal-designs\/\">medal design ideas for your next running event.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2 Fitness Competition <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re organising a fitness competition, we recommend going for medals with unconventional shapes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, for a squathon event, we designed a medal with a non-traditional shape that stood out far more than a standard circular medal. We also included the image of a person performing a deep squat to visually express the physical and emotional effort required to take part in this competition.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"674\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Squatathon_DoubleLayered-1-674x1024.jpg\" alt=\"custom medal competition\" class=\"wp-image-637\" style=\"width:484px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Squatathon_DoubleLayered-1-674x1024.jpg 674w, https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Squatathon_DoubleLayered-1-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Squatathon_DoubleLayered-1-768x1167.jpg 768w, https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Squatathon_DoubleLayered-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 674px) 100vw, 674px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Stepping outside the standard circle and using custom shapes can make your medal stand out.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>When designing your medals, don\u2019t forget to include key details such as the name of the event, the category, or the main exercise. <\/strong>If a gym is sponsoring the competition, you could also add their logo to the medal or the ribbon to strengthen the event\u2019s branding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For these types of competitions, we also like to incorporate storytelling elements. <strong>A motivational quote engraved on the front or back of the medal can make a big impact. <\/strong>The more personalised the medal, the more meaningful it becomes, it&#8217;s one of the best ways to honour the preparation and effort of each participant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3 Team Building<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Team-building activities at work don\u2019t just help reduce stress and strengthen collaboration, they also boost motivation. That\u2019s why, if you\u2019re organising a corporate event of this kind, we recommend giving personalised medals  to your team as a meaningful form of recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can personalise the medals to reflect the milestones reached. For example, add inscriptions such as \u201cTop Salesperson\u201d or \u201cEmployee of the Month\u201d. <\/strong> We recommend choosing inspiring messages that highlight the impact of their contributions. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/team-building-medal-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"team building medal\" class=\"wp-image-640\" style=\"width:570px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/team-building-medal-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/team-building-medal-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/team-building-medal-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/team-building-medal-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/team-building-medal-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Custom medals can motivate your team.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Consider using non-traditional shapes, such as octagons, to make your medals stand out visually.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We suggest choosing materials that reflect the tone of your event. <a href=\"https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/medal-collection\/metal-medals\/\">Metal<\/a> is perfect for formal occasions and high-level awards, while <a href=\"https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/medal-collection\/acrylic-medals\/\">acrylic<\/a> communicates creativity and modernity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, make sure the design reflects your company\u2019s culture. For example, if you work in a tech-focused organisation, consider using blue tones and sleek, innovative visual elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, <strong>don\u2019t underestimate how the medals are presented. <\/strong>Take a moment to deliver a heartfelt message that acknowledges your team\u2019s dedication and effort. This small gesture can make a lasting impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4 Sustainable Events<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When hosting an eco-friendly event, it\u2019s essential that every detail reflects your message and commitment to the environment.<\/strong> That\u2019s why we recommend using sustainable materials for your medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At MedalStudio, <strong>we offer medals made from European-sourced natural birch ply <\/strong>. This eco-friendly, renewable material stores carbon throughout its life cycle, helping to reduce the overall environmental impact of your event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wood is sourced from ethically managed forests, where more trees are planted each year than are harvested. What\u2019s more, the excess material generated during our UK-based manufacturing process is used to power a biomass burner on a local farm, meaning that we have ZERO waste from the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Beyond the material, the design is equally important.<\/strong> Consider using green tones and non-traditional shapes that align with your event\u2019s theme, such as a tree or a leaf.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"674\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/eco-friendly-medal-674x1024.png\" alt=\"different medal shapes\" class=\"wp-image-620\" style=\"width:414px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Aligning every element of your medal with the event\u2019s concept will turn it into a powerful and memorable keepsake for participants.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>And remember: with eco-conscious events, less is more. <strong>A simple, thoughtful design is often more consistent with a sustainable message than something overly complex.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5 Charity Event<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When our clients organise charity events, <strong>we always recommend designing participant medals with the cause at the heart of the concept.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if the event focuses on mental health, consider using symbols that reflect the theme, along with uplifting phrases like the one we\u2019ve included below. A short, thoughtful message can significantly enhance the emotional impact of the medal.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"794\" src=\"https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/metal-medal-1024x794.png\" alt=\"colourful medal\" class=\"wp-image-592\" style=\"width:642px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/metal-medal-1024x794.png 1024w, https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/metal-medal-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/metal-medal-768x595.png 768w, https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/metal-medal-1536x1190.png 1536w, https:\/\/medalstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/metal-medal.png 1666w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Consider the cause of the event when designing medals.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>It\u2019s also important to choose colours that align with the cause. <\/strong>For example, in events that support breast cancer awareness, we typically use shades of pink and complementary hues within that palette. Warm finishes and materials, such as pastels, soft earth tones or lavender, can help convey a sense of care, compassion and emotional connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Craft Memorable Medals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, the right medal design can help create an emotional connection with participants. Choosing thoughtful shapes, high-quality materials, and personal details, you can create medals that don&#8217;t just reward effort, but also reflect the story behind your event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for more inspiration?
