A Guide to Choosing an Awareness Ribbon Color for Your Custom Challenge Coins

Posted by Signature Coins | Wednesday April 18th, 2012 | Topic: Custom Challenge Coins

Awareness ribbons are a very popular way for people to express their involvement with an organization or cause.  They are a symbol that everyone recognizes and relates to.  That’s why we thought it would be fitting to give you a list of ribbon colors and the type of causes that they represent so that you can place the appropriate one on your custom challenge coins.

Here are some of the most popular colors and organizations or causes they have come to be associated with:

  • PINK – Breast Cancer Awareness
  • RED – AIDS Awareness, Heart Disease Awareness
  • ORANGE – Kidney Cancer Association, ADHD
  • BLACK – 9/11, Melanoma Awareness
  • PURPLE – General Cancer Awareness, Animal Cruelty/Animal Welfare
  • GREEN – Kidney Cancer, Environmental Protection
  • YELLOW – Soldier Support, Bone Cancer

You can choose to have your custom awareness ribbon challenge coins cut-to-shape or opt to include an image of the ribbon on the front or back of your coins.  The second option allows you to incorporate your group or organization’s logo as well as information about the cause you’re advocating.  You can also choose to have areas of the coin cut away or include a decorative edge in your design to make your challenge coins more interesting and noticeable.
