Custom Deal Toys & Financial Tombstones
Deal tombstones, also known as deal toys or financial tombstones, commemorate successful business transactions. These custom awards recognize mergers, acquisitions, initial public offerings (IPOs), and other significant financial achievements.
At Clear Image, Inc., we manufacture custom Lucite deal tombstones that turn important financial milestones into lasting keepsakes. Our products combine creative designs, quality materials, and professional craftsmanship.
Whether you need a traditional deal tombstone or a distinctive custom design, our Lucite products offer numerous possibilities.
What Are Deal Tombstones?
Deal tombstones are commemorative awards presented to individuals and organizations involved in major financial transactions. Originally, financial tombstones were simple newspaper advertisements announcing completed deals. Their straightforward appearance inspired the term tombstone.
Today, these announcements have evolved into decorative awards commonly called deal toys. Investment banks, corporations, financial institutions, and law firms use them to recognize successful transactions.
Custom Deal Toys
Modern deal toys offer more design flexibility than traditional financial tombstones. Some awards feature classic rectangular shapes, while others incorporate curves, custom profiles, and embedded graphics.
Custom designs may include:
- Company names and corporate logos
- Merger and acquisition details
- Transaction values and closing dates
- IPO information and stock ticker symbols
- Custom shapes and decorative elements
- Embedded graphics and printed information
- Personalized messages recognizing participants

More About Deal Toys and Financial Tombstones
Why Companies Use Deal Toys
Major financial transactions often involve months of planning, negotiations, and collaboration. Financial tombstones provide a tangible way to recognize the people and organizations behind these achievements.
Companies commonly present deal toys to investment bankers, financial advisors, executives, attorneys, investors, clients, and business partners. Over time, a collection of deal tombstones can represent years of professional accomplishments.
Custom Tombstone Designs
Every financial transaction is different. Therefore, the design of a deal tombstone should reflect the occasion it celebrates.
For example, a merger award may display both companies’ logos. An IPO deal toy might feature a stock ticker symbol, offering details, and the transaction date. Some organizations prefer a traditional design, while others choose creative shapes and colorful graphics.
Choosing a Deal Tombstone
First, consider the transaction and the information you want displayed. Next, choose the preferred size, shape, and overall appearance. A compact Lucite award works well on a desk, while a larger design can create an impressive corporate display.
Also consider the number of awards needed. Major transactions often involve multiple participants who may receive matching deal toys.
