At Laser Crystal, we’re always looking for new and exciting styles, designs and techniques to apply to your bespoke crystal awards and trophies. Keeping up with the high expectations of the ever-evolving corporate world has never been so important, with people working harder than ever to progress in their careers and achieve greatness.
When you’re looking to recognise, celebrate or reward somebody for their incredible work, you need to do so with quality. And nothing says quality like our flawless, optically pure crystal awards.
From powerful and contrasting colours to LED lights and metallic finishes, join us as we take a look at the eight most exciting crystal award design trends to keep an eye out for in 2023!
GEOMETRIC SHAPES
Gentle curves and smooth waves are making way for clean, contemporary lines joined at strikingly sharp angles. Nothing says value quite like diamond, so the hand-cut edges of multifaceted trophy designs such as our President Glass Award make it perfect for the most prestigious of achievements.
Other stylish shapes coming forward in 2023 include our Cube Slant Award with bevelled edges and our popular Arctic Crystal Award.

INTRICATE DESIGNS
We use a specialist 3D engraving technique which engraves designs within the glass, allowing them to appear as if suspended. Our lasers create tiny bubbles which come together to create incredibly detailed, intricate designs.
These designs are becoming more and more popular for the impressive effect they create, as shown here on our Grande Rectangle Award.

BOLD AND BRIGHT COLOURS
Also trending this year is the use of bold, contrasting colours, which truly make designs come alive by adding depth and intrigue to the beautiful crystal.
Combining a smooth gradient of colours with a hand-cut, multifaceted trophy such as our Roma Crystal Award creates a particularly stylish and eye-catching result. Alternatively, you can strengthen your award’s connection to your brand by colourising your logo or other imagery.
PRINTED BACKGROUNDS
Any and all colour added to your bespoke crystal trophy is done so using our specialist full-colour printing machinery, which means we’re able to produce printed backgrounds of stunning detail and vibrance. Use a printed background in tandem with bright and bold colours to create a colour printed crystal award that is truly unique.
As your laser design will be engraved within the glass, your printed background will appear behind it, adding a great deal of depth to your crystal award.
FROSTING EFFECT
The traditional effect of glass sandblasting creates a beautiful translucent, cloudy appearance, which is what we achieve here through the use of our specialist full-colour printers. This updated frosting technique provides a much sharper finish than sandblasting and can be combined with a bold background design to create something really mesmerising.
This effect takes our simple Disc Crystal Award to another level!
LED LIGHTS
Our handmade wooden bases can be created with built-in LED lights to illuminate your crystal trophy in a new and exciting way. The remote controlled light base can be added to most of our existing crystal shapes, and bring life to your 3D laser engraved design.
Add an LED light base to a powerful geometric crystal trophy like our Hexagon Glass Award and watch how the light refracts through the multiple faces of the glass.
AT LASER CRYSTAL, EVERYTHING WE CREATE IS BESPOKE
This means we can create something completely unique to your brand for any occasion. Each trophy can be individually personalised for their recipients, adding a wonderful personal touch to a gift that can last a lifetime. There’s no limit to how much you can customise our crystal awards, trophies and gifts – anything is possible, as there’s nothing we can’t engrave! Choose from a huge range of stylish shapes or think up something totally brand new – the world of 3D laser engraving is your oyster with Laser Crystal.
WE USE HIGH-QUALITY, SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
We understand how important it is for us to play our part in nurturing our environment, which is why our awards are made from flawless, optically pure glass which is 100% recyclable whilst our wooden bases are made-to-order by a local carpenter using high-quality timber.
AND WE’LL SUPPORT YOU WITH YOUR DESIGN
Once you let us know your requirements, we’ll provide you with a selection of different crystal shape ideas along with your quote. We only need a rough design idea for your 3D engraving along with your personalisation requirements, and then we can support you with creating a fully developed and unique design. Our creative design team will produce some 3D visuals for you to review from different angles, and for large orders, we can even provide a pre-production crystal piece for final approval.
