Challenge Coins 101 - Starting with Concept and Design

When it comes to custom challenge coins, there are no restrictions on design. However, if coming up with a good custom coin concept is becoming a challenge, here are some suggestions from our team at RespondersPro Inc..

1. Who will be receiving the challenge coin?

2. What is the purpose and function of your custom coin?  Is it for honor and recognizing outstanding achievements & efforts?  Is it to commemorate a significant occasion or milestone event? 


3. What statement do you want your custom challenge coins to make about your department, unit, organization? Challenge coins serve to remind us that we are all part of something bigger than our selves.

4. What are the unit, department or organizations colors, insignia, logo, motto?


5. What type of artwork, details, images, text are you hoping to include?  Some challenge coins may have very intricate designs, and even some photographs.  Keep in mind that often simpler designs are more impactful than complex ones, and design with the priority content first.

Challenge coins are more than just a token of metal; they are a representation of who we are and what we believe in: camaraderie, collaboration, dedication and service.  When designing a challenge coin that is both meaningful and memorable, keep the above factors in mind during your creative process.

Design Elements To Make Your Custom Coin Outstanding

When it comes to custom made challenge coins, there are no restrictions on design. However, if coming up with a good custom coin concept is becoming a challenge, here are some suggestions from our team at RespondersPro.

SIZE & SHAPE

Challenge Coins typically range in size from 1.5'' to 2.5'', but you can choose whatever size you prefer. And yes, although typically round, challenge coins can be whatever shape your creative vision prefers. â€‹

WEIGHT & TEXTURE, LOOK & FEEL

Part of the design process to get the weight just right in order to produce a beautiful and outstanding challenge coin. Take a moment to think about adding some textured finishes like sandblasting, or any other textured design to contrast against the design elements chosen.

ADDING 3D TO YOUR COIN DESIGN

3D challenge coin's design is carved into the metal surface of the coin giving it depth and dimension.  3D packs a powerful punch in designing your challenge coin making it stand out form the crowd.

METAL PLATING / FINISHING

Challenge coins come in a variety of metals, including gold, silver, bronze, and copper / antique finish in gold, silver, bronze / dual plating / black metal - we have them all! Dual plating is a powerful option for those extra special challenge coins, memorial and commemorative coins.

DESIGNING WITH COLOR IN MIND

RespondersPro works with the Pantone Color Match System, so feel free to add your choice of pops of color that match your organizations color palette, insignia colors or the colors that best fit your own unique personalization and style

ADDING TEXT TO YOUR CHALLENGE COIN

When adding text to you custom challenge coin, take a moment to consider the size of the challenge coin. A larger challenge coin allows for more text. Consider the size of the text as would be seen on the actual challenge coin size.
