Differences Between Glass, Crystal And Acrylic Trophies

One of the most popular forms of rewards and prizes are trophies. There are many famous awards, which established a form that distinguishes different reward worthy persons from others. These awards include the Grammy awards, the Oscars, Music Television (MTV) awards, Screen actors Guild awards, the Golden Globe and many others. These awards are well known because they are mostly offered to celebrities and other renowned persons. It is very simple to distinguish these awards from each other. The Grammy's trophy for example has the gramophone and the Golden Globe has a globe figurine. MTV awards trophies are even more distinct. The MTV Movie Awards trophy has the popcorn while the MTV Europe Music award has the MTV logo on a metal coil a top a globe.

On the other hand, trophies that are given in business functions and academic ceremonies vary greatly from their famous counterparts. This is because many of the former awards are made from Glass, crystal or acrylic. Companies and organizations, which hold annual award giving ceremonies, have a good reason for using the latter awards. The reason is that many view these materials as being more formal and corporate looking. Hence are popular with annual conferences and University Graduations.

Many in the corporate world also consider medals, which are used mostly in sporting events as options. However, trophies are considered more as souvenirs than awards. This puts them on a higher scale on the popularity bar.

Glass trophies are usually used in corporate and business functions. Though they are mainly clear, they also come in other colors such as green, amber, and golden. Their crystal cousins because of them being more expensive are used in big mostly international events. In addition, their diamond like quality gives them a sophisticated and elegant edge over their glass cousins. However, glass ones are more popular because of their average prices. This means that they are neither too cheap nor too expensive. Of the three types of acrylic are the cheapest and most flexible. The material that manufactures them, which is also known as Plexiglas, resembles glass but is made from a clear plastic material. One of the qualities of acrylic that gives them an edge over the other two, is the fact that it is flexible and has a force resistant quality, which makes it very easy to form shape and engrave on.
