While Tom Brady and Eli Manning were gearing up to play in what became the most-watched program in the history of United States television, our entire city worked diligently planning and transforming our downtown and surrounding areas to ensure the most successful and safe Super Bowl in history!
As you may have heard Indianapolis recently hosted Super Bowl XLVI … #46 for those fellow Roman Numerically Challenged readers out there. And being that Recognition Services is located in Indianapolis, we were lucky enough to get in on the action by producing some unique pieces!
All kinds of Super Bowl merchandise was being produced and sold; hats, t-shirts, patches, luggage tags, keychains, and of course challenge coins!
So after …
600,000 people in the city
24,574 air port passengers
8,000 official volunteers
66 much anticipated commercials
And 1 censored halftime show
Indianapolis is now being dubbed “the perfect Super Bowl city”. So as our dedicated men and women are still catching their breath from the wonderful event, they are celebrating that success and hard work with commemorative pieces.
We were asked to create custom challenge coins for Indianapolis Police, Fire, Airport Communications Center, Airport Police, Sherriff’s Dept., EMS and Indiana State Police. Take a moment to Ooo and Aww with us over these spectacular mementos of history!
Throughout this post are the photos of the various coins we produced.

Enthusiastic, good humored, life of the meeting, full of laughs, stunts, and of course “fines”. It’s likely this describes your club’s Tail Twister. The Tail Twister is one of the most important roles in the Lions Club. 
(scan the attached sample with your mobile device to see the results in action). Conveniently printed on the packaging with a link directly back to your campaign website. This is a great tool to get immediate voter interaction and registration. 
I try as much as possible to give shout outs to our customers that do great things and put on great events. That is why I wanted to take a minute and talk about the Choir Boys L.E.M.C. group. We recently created this custom motorcycle pin for an upcomming ride in November, and I like to think it's one of the nicer lapel pins we've created all year. 
The Naval Special Warfare Group has been in the news a lot lately for their heroic deeds and sacrifices seen around the world. On May 2, 2011 a group of the elite Navy Seals, a division of under Naval Special Warfare Command, eliminated Osama Bin Laden which thrust the NSWC into the spotlight as the upper echelon of the armed forces. The world also watched the tragedy of August 6, 2011 when a helicopter crash killed 17 Navy Seals, as well as 8 American and 8 Afghan operatives. In between these events we were called upon to create a custom challenge coin for the families of the NSWC members stationed in Virginia Beach. The Virginia Beach outpost of the Naval Special Warfare Command just so happened to be where the families of many fallen soldiers of the August incident lived.
Upon returning from an extremely successful Lions Club International Convention in Seattle (by the way a quick thank you to all who stopped by the booth, it was great to meet you!) we received a great bit of news that we are very proud to share. For the second consecutive year the MD25 Lions Trading Pin we had the pleasure of producing has won the Lions International Trading Pin Club (LITPC) MD pin of the year award. This was a great surprise and honor coming off the heels of winning the same award last year (as well as winning Lions Club International MD lapel pin of the year). A big congratulations to our fellow Hoosier Lions in MD25 as they are the real recipients of this honor for the last two years. A special thank you to Indiana Lion Mike Gutyan and his better half Helen. They have conceptualized the lapel pin art for the last several years and we have helped them turn their concept into a tangible piece.
Around the world these fans will unite and form their own 
Every month we produce dozens of styles of custom challenge coins, and while each has their own unique story and design, there are a few challenge coins that stand out above the rest. We recently had the opportunity to work with a police officer out in Albuquerque who was also retired Navy. Dave wanted a custom coin that would symbolize his Navy pride and tell a story of Navy tradition. He wanted to make sure this coin stood above the rest in terms of size and uniqueness, and his idea of going above and beyond the conventional round coin idea ended up paying off great. By shaping the mold of the coin to mimic the seal for the United States Navy Recruiting Command logo we were able to create something truly unique and collectible. 
The 2012 primaries and elections will be coming upon us soon, and that means we all need to brace for the relentless campaign tours, TV ads, and debates from our favorite hopefuls. It also means we're bound to see more than one lapel adorned with the American Flag lapel pin. The Stars and Stripes has been a staple in our country's accessory drawer for many decades now, especially in the political circuit. However some would say
