This month, we’re looking at what gives a challenge coin lasting value. Two very different projects show how a clear identity can shape the design. Our newest articles then explore how the occasion a coin honors and the traditions around it shape its meaning.

NA SDI Engineering Practice Coin

Created for Motorola Solutions’ North America Solutions Deployment and Integration division, this coin translates an internal engineering identity into a contemporary design. The front keeps the division’s logo and established palette at the center of the design. On the reverse, embossed symbols set against individual color fields give the coin a structured, modern finish.

South Central Volleyball Challenge Coin

This project shows how a straightforward design can carry a strong team identity. A matte gold-colored finish gives the coin a warm foundation, while the South Central Volleyball logo and enamel colors keep the organization immediately recognizable. Careful spacing lets that familiar mark lead the design without unnecessary decoration.
