Yes, this year's MEDALS get rid of the traditional shape, with the Lanzhou water wheel as the prototype, inner ring and outer ring Mosaic. The outer ring pattern of the medal is derived from the elements of Lanzhou Majiayao painted pottery. The inner ring is a rotating water wheel style with spray at the bottom, symbolizing the endless Yellow River culture. While showing the long cultural history of Lanzhou, it also cleverly integrates the surging momentum of the Yellow River.

  As the name suggests, before the marathon medal is customized, it needs to be drawn by the designer through the way of drawings, every component should be dissected out, including his size, size and so on. With this information, the next step is to open the mold.


  The 2019 Blue Horse Medal is made up of four modules, which are abbreviated as: outer frame, rear cover, water wheel and buttons.


  The second step, engraving mold; Then the drawing of the medal components is transferred to the engraving machine for mold engraving. The key point is also here, the appearance of the medal depends on the precision of the mold, high precision engraving machine can carve the ideal mold.

  The fifth step, surface polishing; Can the carved ones be painted directly? Of course not, die-cast engraved MEDALS need to be polished on the surface, otherwise there will be a lot of flaws, the medal will naturally not look good. After the fine carving of the Lanma medal, the surface treatment of many processes is carried out to make its appearance rounded and smooth.


  The sixth step is electroplating. Each component is electroplated to achieve the color we want. For example, the shining blue Horse medal is the gold color of electroplating, and the appearance is better.


  Step seven: Color. The coloring of this part is different from electroplating. We can see the blue title "Lanzhou Bank Cup" 2019 Lanzhou International Marathon on the water wheel of Lanma, as well as the English translation of red. This part needs to be colored.
