How to Customize with a Plaque
A plaque is the perfect way to customize many items. This informational page will help you make your decisions when ordering a plaque. You will receive the plaque MAILED separately.
Yes, we are using AI to help you personalize.
Click on PERSONALIZE box when you order. Turns green.
#1 base. a box appears on the image where the personalization will be. Since products are different sizes, this box is approximate - not exact. It'll give you a good idea. If the base is circular, the box should be about 1/2 the width of the base. Some images are at an angle and the box goes off the base. Remember the box is to help you visualize the end result .... but it is approximate, not exact. If there are more than one piece, like bookends or the crystal gavel with base, more than one box appears. You can write text in ALL boxes, or select the location you want personalized and write text in that specific box. Make sure you also select how many boxes you wrote text inside.
#2 text. If you want one word of text, let's say AWESOME type that. You can have 2, 3 or 4 lines of text based upon size of text. For a second line of text, create the second line under AWESOME. Based on the size of the base, you can type in several lines of text. The image on line will fill as you type the text. Once you type your text, you can move it around inside the box. Yes, we can personalize in other languages. Ask and we'll tell you yes, or no, for a different language.
#3 font. Each plaque can only have ONE font. You have ten choices. You should select font AFTER you've written text. Select a font and your text changes. We offer TEN fonts. Arial or Times Roman font is like that of a newspaper. Copperplate is the boldest and works well with a name. A script font with limited text is available. You also have a calligraphy choice. You have a whimsical choice. Please select the font you prefer. We do have thousands of fonts, way too many to list here, so if you have a font that is your company's font - ask us in the TALK to US box to use that font. We will do so if possible.
You have an additional option with the font. Hope this isn't too confusing. But you can use Arial font BOLD for the name or first line. You have to use same font...but a 2nd line could use Arial Standard....a 3rd line could be Arial italics. Or make the 2nd line bold, etc. You will need to state these choices in TALK TO US which is at the bottom of the product page...under the price.
Result would look like this:

#4 size. You've written your text using the number of lines of text you prefer. You've selected font. Now you can change the size of the font. Let's use the example for your text of "2025 Champion". Our site allows you to change the size of the font. When you change the size, the text you have written changes. Select the size of font you want for the FIRST line. If you have additonal lines, you CAN change the size of those lines in the TALK TO US box. Or, keep it simple and use same size for all.
#5 Height of Plaque. The height of the plaque will be determined by the amount of text you enter and space available on base. You do nothing here...we do it.
#6 Color of Plate. For most products you have a choice of 5 colors of plaque. We recommend that you select the background color of plaque that blends with the color of the base. Thus, a black base would have a black plate. The reason that we make this recommendation is that we believe it is better to have the text "pop" versus having the entire plaque "pop". However, if the sculpture is silver, some like a silver plate with black text. Or, a copper plate with a copper statue. Others, will have the black plaque with silver text. It's your choice. Perhaps, you want the color of plate and text to be the same as last years.
Some of the sculptures have bases that are not flat and we need to use a FLEXIBLE plate. We only have FLEXIBLE plates in gold or black. If too long, the plate will "pop" off the base, and we don't want that.
If the text is complicated, please enter in TALK TO US box "Emailing customization request". Then do the text in Word exactly as you want it. Centered? Left justified? Line by line. Email your instructions to orders@wallstreetgifts.com. Once you place your order, you will receive an email with your order #. Use this order # in your subject line for the email. in the subject line of your email type : Text for Plaque - order # XXXXXXX only meed last 4 digits, not need for all of the zeros in the order #.
Logo
Yes, we can do a logo if there is enough room to do so on the plaque. It is best if the logo is in a vector file, although sometimes a jpg will work. Not all logos can be used....we'll let you know immediately if what you send us can be used. There is an additional $30 charge for a logo.
Approval of Plaque
If you want to approve the plaque before it is made, please say "send proof" in TALK TO US. Otherwise, if the text is simple, we'll approve it for you.
Adhering a Plaque
You will need to adhere this plaque to the statue base. You will receive two shipments #1 statue via UPS or FEDEX #2 plaque via USPS. The plaque is mailed from Florida.
How do you adhere a plaque? It's like putting on a band-aid - very simple. The most difficult part is to center the plaque - you measure it and it is quite easy to do. The plaque has strips along the back of the plaque. Once the plaque is adhered it is extremely difficult to remove.
