Judo Medal Custom | Cartoon Mascot Enamel Martial Arts Awards
This custom Judo medal features a mascot character crafted with the soft enamel process. The distinct black, red, and white enamel sections, combined with the high color saturation of the red beak and feet, breathe life into the character. The use of a cute (“moe”) cartoon image perfectly aligns with the branding of youth sports events. The Chinese characters for “Judo” (柔道) and the event name below are rendered in 3D relief, with the recessed lettering filled with black enamel to ensure long-lasting clarity of the event information.
Custom Judo medals are a vital medium for promoting the sport and showcasing a club’s strength. We have extensive experience in customizing medals for various sports events and tournaments.
Short Intro
We create this custom judo medal for youth championships, dojo tournaments, international cup events, and martial arts recognition programmes that need a medal with both strong sport identity and a more approachable visual style for younger athletes. Instead of using a rigid and overly serious martial arts emblem, we build this design around a charming cartoon bird mascot wearing a judogi and belt, which makes the medal feel more engaging and more suitable for youth competition settings. With high-density zinc alloy die-casting, antique gold plating, brushed metal texture, and precise soft enamel work, this medal feels playful, premium, and highly memorable for young judoka and event organisers alike.

Why This Medal Fits Youth Judo Events So Well
- We design this medal especially for youth judo events because younger athletes often respond more positively to a medal that feels welcoming and exciting, rather than one that looks overly formal or intimidating. The cartoon bird mascot gives the medal a friendlier personality while still keeping the key visual cues of martial arts discipline through the judogi, belt, and bold “Judo” lettering. This makes the medal especially effective for junior tournaments and youth cup events where encouragement and belonging are just as important as competition.
- The combination of Eastern martial arts calligraphy and Croatian event wording also gives this medal a strong international identity. We use this design language to show that the medal belongs to a real tournament environment while also respecting the cultural roots of judo. That helps the award feel both authentic and event-specific, which is important for clubs and organisers that want stronger branding through their medals.
- The balanced composition is another key strength. By placing the mascot in the centre and surrounding it with clean brushed metal space, we make the medal easier to read and more visually elegant. That gives the award a more premium look without making it too heavy or too serious for younger participants.
Production Details
- We produce this judo medal in high-density zinc alloy through precision die-casting so the mascot contour, judogi folds, calligraphy strokes, and event text remain clean and sharply defined. This process gives the medal a stronger weighted feel and helps preserve the finer details that make the mascot and lettering more expressive.
- We finish the surface in antique gold plating and apply a fine brushed texture across the metal base. This creates a more mature championship look while also reducing fingerprints and minor scratches during handling. The brushed finish gives the medal a more refined background and helps the soft enamel colours stand out more clearly.
- We use hand-filled soft enamel for the black, red, and white sections of the mascot. The enamel gives the bird character stronger colour saturation and helps the red beak and feet become immediate visual focal points. We also form the “Judo” calligraphy and the lower event text in 3D relief, then fill the recessed areas with black so the wording stays clear and durable over time. At the top, we use an integrated heavy-duty loop cast as one piece with the medal body for stronger structural stability during award presentation.
What Can Be Customised for This Medal
We can customise this judo medal in multiple ways according to your tournament identity and branding needs, including:
- medal size and thickness
- mascot character and pose
- event name, year, and language version
- large sport calligraphy or category wording
- antique gold, antique silver, matte nickel, or other plated finishes
- soft enamel colour combinations
- ribbon colour, width, and printed branding
- back-side engraving or commemorative message
- packaging for event distribution or premium presentation
This flexibility makes the design suitable not only for one international youth cup, but also for annual dojo tournaments, school martial arts festivals, club championships, and broader youth judo recognition programmes.
MOQ & Bulk Order Guidance
We recommend this judo medal for both medium and large event orders, especially for organisers running youth cups, school martial arts events, and recurring international invitational tournaments. In most cases, 100 pieces is a practical starting quantity, while larger quantities improve average unit cost and make event-wide customisation more efficient.
For dojos, sports organisers, clubs, and wholesale buyers, bulk production also makes it easier to keep the same mascot-based structure while updating the year, wording, or ribbon branding from one edition to the next. This helps maintain a stronger event identity while keeping production stable and practical.
