Interesting details that you will love to know about the 3D NEVER QUIT Finisher Medallion, which makes this the most unique of any finisher medal or medallion ever made.

This 3D medallion took 3 months of just drawing and computer design.

Twenty-eight dedicated people in three countries were involved in the process.

It took flights that totaled 4 times around the world, through 6 countries for Leanne, myself and the Z-Brush artist (who’s incredible work has been featured on Call Of Duty, Transformers, Angry Birds, Narnia) to work together to make just this NEVER QUIT medallion design complete.

All metal molds had to be remade three times, so all pieces fit together and looked perfect. This more than doubled the mold time and doubled the mold cost, with total mold costs over $18,000.

This NEVER QUIT medallion has 8 individual 3D medals.

A total of 46 molds were made to make all 8 finished 3D medal pieces. Typical medals would have two molds.

All eight metal pieces were carefully poured, sanded, buffed, electroplated in 3 shades of gold & silver and clear coated. Then individual silver pieces were re-sanded and buffed and clear coated again to give it a brushed silver look. Then select areas were filled with translucent red and blue paint and silver liquid flake poured around the U.S. flag stars. Finally, all 8 pieces were connected and screwed together to make one complete final 3D medallion. Total production time will be 7 months.

Gold and silver coatings were carefully dipped onto the NEVER QUIT medallions in the same factory that dips gold and silver coatings onto the U.S. Military insignia pins of all 5 branches worn by U.S. Service members.

Five full size 3D printed plastic molds of all 8 pieces were made for detailed accuracy throughout this process. Each 3D print took 17 hours.

The total “design process” cost roughly 100x over what any other medal design would cost.

Just at the factory alone, Erik meticulously worked for 48 days, every day, until each design element, each mold and each piece was perfect in every way. Only then would he approve the final sample that you would be honorably presented with on event day.

This is the most complex finisher medal ever made in history.

This is the most detailed finisher medal ever made in history.

This is the most expensive finisher medal ever made in history, costing roughly 20x the cost of other finisher medals.

This is the largest finisher medal ever made in history. The width is 7 -1/4″, making it fall into a medallion class, more than 2x over.

At roughly 3 pounds, it is the heaviest finisher medal ever made in history for any running race, by far.

Total weight of this NEVER QUIT medallion is 3+lbs. (over 2x the weight of the 2017 NEVER QUIT eagle head medal.)

The weight of this medallion is equal to the weight of 16-20 typical running finisher medals.

To put this into perspective, approximately 50,000 finisher medals were given out at all various running races in greater Jacksonville in 2016. The weight of 9,000 of these NEVER QUIT medallions is equal to the weight of roughly 110,000 finisher medals, more than double the weight of all the medals given out in two years of all running races in Jacksonville. (The combined totals of 2016 & 2017 !)

Total weight of all 3D NEVER QUIT medallions is over 15 Tons. One entire shipping container full.
