Plaques are cast according to your specifications................... There are no pre-cast ready-to-ship plaques offered. However, we represent a number of foundries who've been in business for many decades.......................... If it's castable, they perhaps have even made at least one copy, and have your design on file......................Plaques can be done in either bronze or aluminum flat relief or bas relief or fully painted...............Each item contributes to the total price of your project......................

Plaques are cast according to your specifications. There are no pre-cast ready-to-ship plaques offered. Available seals are NOT limited to the ones depicted below. If a new seal design was created tomorrow, it could still be cast. These are simply examples.

There is a molding charge for bas reliefs. Please see price charts linked below for available sizes and prices for single-color flat relief. Contact if your image is not depicted. Click all images for enlargements.

We understand those seeking an image identical or similar to their needs. This page assists those searching for "Government Plaques" and "Government Agencies Plaques". Given that "the government" is the largest U.S. employer, that could include: Federal state and local governing bodies; museums and libraries; consumer action, employment & career training agencies; lower, middle and higher education; scientific and military institutions; immigration and lending authorities; weather, medical, insurance, engineering, space innovation, communications and human services facilities. Seen here is a sampling. Click images for enlargements.

An oft-asked question: "What is the difference between "Flat Relief" vs Bas Relief?" Bas is sculptural. Flat isn't; it's either upper level A or lower level B; no dimensions in between. Think of bas reliefs = "rolling hills", flat reliefs = "plateaus". Click Here for an audio/visual explanation. Click Here for another graphic representation.

Please see images at right. The one on the left is Flat Relief; the one on the right Bas relief. Click on them to enlarge in new windows. Have windows open side-by-side to compare even better.

Brazos County Project: Most flat relief cast plaques can be size scaled. E.g., if you want your plaque as 16.669" in diameter, consider it done. Bas relief plaques are "a whole 'nother animal". An artist with a spouse, 2.2 kids, a mortgage and a car note sat down with clay and made the mold. Working molds are tossed after the plaque is cast... unless a metal mold is made beforehand. It's not possible to scale working or metal molds to any size mechanically; another mold must be hand-made.

Metal molds do exist of some great plaque designs for projects done for customers across the U.S.. Neither we nor any competitor have a list (except for Branch of Service seals, Historic Register, Veterans Features, etc.). A prospect inquired if we had a mold of the State of Texas seal with prismatic star and bas relief aspect of laurel leaves as 36". Turned out we did. The text ring indicating "County of Brazos" was easily incorporated. 

The 2010 cast bronze replication of the TX state seal is depicted upper left. Inquire about your specific bas relief design, regardless of state or county. Who knows, it might even exist, avoiding modeling charges.
