2. an inscribed commemorative tablet, usually of metal placed on a building, monument, or the like.
Modern Plaques
Most modern plaques are commemorative of something, but this is not always the case, and there are purely religious plaques, and plaques that signifying ownership or affiliation.
ac·co·lade:
ˈa-kə-ˌlād, -ˌläd – an award or privilege granted as a special honor or as an acknowledgment of merit.
When we chose a name for our company, we weren’t thinking about the products we make; instead, we thought about the “WHY?” – the reason customers look for us and it we realized that this is why we’re in business.
As the definition of the word states that an award, trophy or even a special occasion gift is “a privilege granted” , our ability to be part of something special and memorable. And so our approach to being a part of unique moment is that we are privileged to make it last.
