4 Chains of Office Symbols of Leadership San Diego Mesa College repeated its seal image on smaller custom-shaped components. Be recognized as your institution s highest authority at academic ceremonies and other prestigious events by having Medallic Art Company handcraft a chain of office for you. Medallic Art Company has been creating chains of office exclusively in the United States since Call us today to learn how we can help you customize this lasting symbol of esteem for you and your institution. B Cairn University repeated the symbol in its seal medal on smaller components on this silver-plated chain. C A Extra chain link between banners and a custom shape for the medal makes The King s University chain unique. The medallions turned out beautiful! Thank you again for doing such a wonderful job and making our short deadline. It was a joy to work with you. D E A Medallic Art Company artist hand- illustrated the men in the Eastern Kentucky University seal to help transform a twodimensional image into a high-relief three-dimensional work of art. Michelle Glush, The King s University Southern Crescent Technical College included a silver-plated leaf surround on the medal to add a sense of sweeping drama to the entire piece. 4 Call or us at academic@medallic.com

5 Anne Arundel Community College included a variety of the colors from its seal in this beautifully interpreted medal. F You can update your chain at any time. Add new names, additional images, or custom components. Just call us for a new quote and send your item back for revision. G Carroll College added selective gold plating to the silverplated custom-shaped medal to highlight the detail in its seal. Photo courtesy of Robert Whitehead at CSUSB California State University San Bernardino blue surrounds the school seal in this silver-plated chain. H I Arizona Christian University used a triangle component to reflect the symbolism in its seal. The Beacon College flame is a significant part of the institution s heritage and Medallic Art Company helped make it a significant part of the chain and mace as well. See the mace on page 13.

6 Chains of Office Capilano University used symbols from its existing, traditional hand carved ceremonial mace to provide intricate designs for its chain components. J Comfortably Wear Your Chain of Office The most comfortable way to wear a chain of office is by balancing the length of the chain on the shoulders to offset the weight of the chain s front. You can do this by sewing Velcro, buttons or hooks onto the shoulders of your garment to secure the chain in position. Ask about our optional stabilizing chain link, which attaches to the upper part of the inside of the chain, and when worn behind the neck, helps to position the chain properly. L Edison Community College commemorated its 40-year anniversary with a banner hung below the medal signifying the special occasion. K Adirondack Community College added a ribbon and our tulip surround to create a unique look. McMurry University highlights its uniquely shaped seal by incorporating the oval shape into a custom medal and woven chain. M 6 Call or us at academic@medallic.com

7 O N Gordon State College s unique seal called for the addition of vividly colored enamel on the top of the medal. Azusa Pacific University incorporated a custom cross shape for the medal to reflect the university s God First mission. Temple University added symbolic engravings to the chain to show its history and areas of education. A Classic Look That Spans the Ages Styled after a traditional livery collar, Medallic Art Company will create a magnificent European style chain of office for your institution or organization. Masterful use of negative space creates a bold and memorable component. Custom shapes and traditional coloring create classically distinctive masterpieces that harken back to honor, integrity, and royalty. Traditional, European style additions, such as a velvet collar underneath your chain, are available as well. Order now to ensure delivery for your event 7

8 How to Build Your Chain Fully Customizable The chain of office artfully encompasses an institution s heritage and identity, which is why we provide you numerous ways to customize your chain to represent your unique legacy. Choose Your Components Your chain may contain traditional elements such as the ornamental components below or you may also wish to add customized elements using our shapes (at left) including words or images that are significant to your institution, such as a university symbol, a mascot, the institution s motto, names or previous presidents, or any other item unique to you. Ornamental Components These components can be added to enhance the symbolism of your chain.

9 Choose Your Metal The metal you choose makes a significant statement. You may choose copper or silver because it s the state mineral or gold because your institution is celebrating a centennial. Your metal choice will reflect your school s mission and heritage just as your seal does. Antiqued bronze Antiqued silver or silver-plated A smaller die-struck, or three-dimensional, version of your seal medal can be added to your chain, reinforcing your commitment to heritage.

10 Ceremonial Maces B Carry forward the traditions of your institution A The ceremonial mace is the symbolic extension of a leader s authority. Medallic Art Company combines the finest materials and quality workmanship to create an original work of art that establishes an enduring legacy of leadership for your institution. I enjoyed working with you on this project. Please thank everyone at Medallic Art involved with the project. The mace turned out beautifully and arrived on time for the spring graduation ceremonies. Tom Matthews, South Texas College South Texas College designed its own mace for a truly exceptional look. Distinctive medals and engraved platforms on this 48 cherrywood mace honor the institution s history and values. Your team has been exceptional to work with; thank you for all you ve done, do, and have yet to do! Jennifer Suchan, University of Northern Iowa The University of Northern Iowa required three distinct maces: a 54 institutional mace and two 33 maces for faculty and students. Each represents the University of Northern Iowa s rich heritage by incorporating the institution s shield, wreath and lamp of knowledge. The use of dark walnut with gold and silver accents helps to maintain a consistent look throughout. KaLeigh White, candidate for Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration: Human Resources, gives the student address during spring commencement for the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The 54 institutional mace stands proudly in front of the podium. 10 Call or us at academic@medallic.com

11 E C F D Colorado College sought a traditional look in this 44 dark walnut mace topped with a brass flame. The head of this 36 tall cherrywood mace designed by Bishop Ireton High School features a gold-plated surround that elevates the medals (reverse shown below) and elaborately engraved wood disk. Hamline University s 39 tall dark walnut mace adds a multidimensional twist by combining traditional design and elements with the university s character and values. Goucher College selected a time-honored look for its 42 tall mahogany mace with brass accents. Order now to ensure delivery for your event 11

12 Ceremonial Maces K I J H G California State University Los Angeles, at left, and Louisiana State University, at right, started with a similar classic design and created maces unique to their institutions. The 42 tall dark walnut mace for California State University Los Angeles is topped with a gold-plated Bird of Paradise, official flower of the City of Los Angeles. The University of Utah added striking copper accents to their 48 tall dark walnut mace for a piece that is not only stunning but honors Utah s state mineral. Union Institute and University chose a classic design for this 42 tall mahogany mace but included an elegant platform engraved with the school s values. Sacred Heart University adapted an existing design to craft this magnificent 54 tall rosewood mace with brass accents and silverplated medals. Louisiana State University supplied oak from its campus to be used in its 42 tall cherrywood mace. 12 Call or us at academic@medallic.com

13 L The highlight of the Beacon College mace is a recreation of the flame in the institution s seal. The complete seal was created in great detail as the main medal of the college s chain of office (seen on page 5) and in smaller medals on the chain and mace (shown below). A custom-designed head piece reinforces the history and symbolism that sets your institution apart. Dr. Terri Ross, Beacon College s longest serving faculty member, holds the newly crafted 36 tall customdesigned walnut and brass mace (shown larger at left) before presenting it to Dr. George J. Hagerty during his inauguration ceremony. Perfectly Capture Your Tradition The Medical College of Georgia Foundation came to us with a unique design in mind to honor the history of the college. Using professional photographs and the plans for the original medical college building, Medallic Art Company was able to recreate this icon in beautiful detail, a symbol of the rich and vibrant history of the college as well as the bright future ahead. With our entire creative staff at your disposal, Medallic Art Company can perfectly capture your institution s history and traditions in breathtaking fashion. President of the Faculty Senate, Dr. Jatinder Bhatia, carries the Medical College of Georgia mace at a hooding ceremony where graduating medical students receive their hoods for commencement. Excellent photos of the building and the original plans helped us see the details we needed to incorporate into the design. Order now to ensure delivery for your event 13

14 Macettes & Batons When Smaller is Better Macettes and batons are perfect when a more personal size is needed. The smaller size makes them lighter and easier to carry for longer periods of time. If some of your institution s ceremonies make it difficult to use your larger mace, a smaller duplicate will help you maintain the pomp and circumstance of important events. Macettes and batons will also be cherished as gifts to donors and departing leadership. C This 20.5 cherrywood baton tapers for a sleek look. The top can be engraved or have a medal attached. D A Faculty and leaders of The University of Southern California use this 17 dark walnut macette during convocation ceremonies. B This 20 cherrywood macette is a miniature of a larger mace for Eastern Virginia Medical School (shown on page 18). This 22 oak baton makes a simple-yet-bold statement with its elegant metal topper and finial. E Though Medallic Art Company did not craft the original, we were able to recreate this 19 oak baton for Prince George s Community College. 14 Call or us at academic@medallic.com

15 How to Build Your Mace Create a Flawless Representation of Your Institution Every aspect of your ceremonial mace or macette can be customized to fit your school s needs, style, and budget. You can choose from one of our popular styles, customizing with your school s seal, logos, and mottos, or you can use some existing styles as a starting point to create something a little different by changing the head, staff or foot. You can also create a completely new mace or macette to better represent your institution. You choose the materials, the size, any additional custom elements, and the stand that best displays your mace when it s not in use. You can even add engravable metal bands, called banners, or other elements to make your ceremonial mace or macette wholly unique to your institution. Create Your Medallions Traditionally designed after a school s seal, the medallions could also showcase important themes, buildings, leaders, or other elements of significance to your institution. Choose a Head Style The head of the mace can showcase a single medallion or several medallions honoring a long history. Additions like a wreath or flame provide a traditional academic look if desired. An engravable metal platform can be added to some styles to include mottos or values to the mace. Custom mace heads are also a powerful way to express your school s history and values. Choose a Staff Style The staff of your mace or macette can be very modest or as ornate as you can imagine. Engravable metal sections or banners (shown here) can be added to honor your institution s beliefs, leaders, donors, academic programs, or separate campuses. Choose Your Materials Your choice of materials makes a powerful statement about how you honor your institution s heritage and values. For example, the University of Utah chose to include distinct copper accents on the mace staff, venerating Utah s state mineral. Louisiana State University supplied Medallic Art with wood from their campus, paying homage to the beautiful oaks that cover the grounds. The beauty of your mace is limited only by your imagination and sense of propriety, never by the materials available for its creation. Choose a Mace Stand A mace stand displays and protects your mace while it is not in use. The mace stand is made to order to fit your custom mace. See page 17 to see the options available. Choose a Foot Style The final touch on your custom mace or macette should reflect the overall style. The foot can be made of metal or wood to carry out the look and function you need. Get Started Early An exceptionally high level of customization and attention to detail is required to craft your mace or macette. It is best to begin working on the design at least two months in advance If time is an issue, please ask about our impressive stock selections. Order now to ensure delivery for your event 15

16 Stock Maces Pressed for Time? The traditional look of our stock maces and macettes complement any medal or seal design and can be made available more quickly if you have an approaching event. If we have already made a die for you, we can mint a new medal for the head of the mace. Or you can choose to engrave one of our stock medals (see the selection on pages 28-31) with your seal, other imagery or wording. With just enough time, Medallic Art was able to create a new Central Catholic High School seal medal to place on a stock mace. The 42 style stock mace allows for two medals to be mounted onto the wood disk on top. The 24 style stock mace has a medal mounted on top and brass foot that can be silver- or gold-plated. Reverse The U.S. Sports Academy had two of our stock medals placed on a stock mace in order to meet a fast-approaching deadline for a ceremony. The 14 style stock macette allows for a smaller medal mounted on top and brass foot that can be silver- or gold-plated. Stock maces and macettes are available in cherrywood or dark walnut. Changes or additions may be available if time permits. Cherrywood Dark Walnut If time permits, a stand can be made for your stock macette. 16 Call or us at academic@medallic.com

17 Display and Protect Chain Display Case The locking cherrywood chain display case is made to protect and show off your beautiful investment. Mace Stands Mace stands are a simple, yet elegant way to safely store your mace or macette. Stands can be masterpieces in their own right, custom-made to match the style and size of your mace or macette. Horizontal Mace Stand The horizontal stand is often used when the mace will be displayed on a shelf. Chain Travel Case Safeguard your treasured chain of office during transit with a specially designed travel case. Vertical Mace Stand The vertical stand is used when the mace is displayed at floor level. This stand is useful on a stage when ceremonies are being performed after a procession. George Mason University added a brass back to its vertical stand. Mace Travel Case Our durable mace travel case protects your investment when you need to travel. It is airlineapproved and lockable, with handles and builtin wheels for easy transport. Base Mace Stand The 9 x 12 base stand is another floor-level display option that gives your mace a free-standing look. Your seal medal can be mounted to the front if desired. Order now to ensure delivery for your event 17

18 Honoring Heritage Design Versatility and Consistency Once you have created one necessary item, such as a mace or chain, your medal design makes it possible to build other items essential to displaying your institution s heritage. A seal design can be used for everything from chain components, to cuff links, to lapel pins, to awards and especially graduation medals. All of your Medallic Art Company articles can share the same art designs, which reinforces the values of your institution. Brooklyn Technical High School reflects its passion for the school s history by repeating its exquisite seal on its chain of office and mace. Maria College saved time and money by using the same medal for both its mace and chain of office. 18 Eastern Virginia Medical School maintains a consistent look even while making the modest addition of enamel on the chain of office medal.

19 Celebrate Leadership Recognize the Dedication of Departing Leaders How do you reward a leader s faithful and tireless service to your institution? Give them an enduring symbol of the institution they love and of their term in office. These gifts are perfect for honoring the sacrifice and dedication of outgoing Presidents, Chancellors, Trustees, Regents, or Provosts. You can recognize them with a unique custom piece or you can use an existing piece to create a memorable gift. Arkansas Tech University presented its outgoing president, Dr. Robert Charles Brown, left, with this ceremonial macette in honor of his 20 years of service to the institution. The University of Georgia gifted this chain of office to its retiring president, adding his ending tenure date onto a banner component on the chain. The university had a new chain made for its incoming president. Bethune-Cookman University used an existing medal design to create this gift for its retiring president. Thanks so much for the beautiful work you have created for our outgoing president! It looks marvelous and everyone has exclaimed how elegant and appropriate it is to honor her years in office.
