Abstract
A plaque for trophies making use of an athletic ball or replica as a base provides a convex outer surface mimicking that of the base itself. The convex plaque may be formed using conventional button-making techniques which laminate a printed sheet between a convex form and a clear overlay. The button assembly allows a wide variety of different printed materials to be incorporated into the plaque itself including paper printed on computer-type printers and/or photographs.
