Leverage Your Logo

The medallions used to create these custom gifts using the Omni Bedford Springs logo was created using a high resolution jpg image. The silver frame with the Omni Bedford Springs logo is a wonderful gift to add a photo and remember good times.

The Classic Legacy double wall insulated wine cooler chills one bottle of wine. It is embellished with a vintage reproduction medallion and the log of the Omni Bedford Springs. Each logo is reproduced, set in a silver setting, and then enameled.


CHAPTER 3: Art Attracts Attention

Classic Legacy uses YOUR art. When you provide us with a high resolution jpg image of your art we then create medallions with this art. Our Christmas ornaments are a favorite custom gift.

Classic Legacy also has the ability to print images on metal. Our custom purse mirrors made an extraordinary gift and highlight YOUR art.


This is the art of Marjorie Cranston. She is a Colorado artist know for her wonderful colors and the Colorado scenery. Classic Legacy can print images on marble. The marble bottle stopper with custom art is an extraordinary gift. It all begins with YOUR jpg image.

Our coasters are the perfect surface to print artistic images. This coaster is made of imported tumbled natural marble. The artist is Marjorie Cranston. Her business is Jackstraw Mountain Gallery in Grand Lake CO.

Art Attracts Attention


Historical Crests are great reminders of our heritage. We created marble coasters with these images and a custom notepad. Custom gifts are a good way to showcase history!

These custom gifts were designed by Classic Legacy for the Anderson County History Museum. The acrylic tray features the historical South Caroline logo.

Chapter 4: Showcase History


The Classic Legacy marble bottle stopper features the historical image of the Empire State Building. This bottle stopper comes individually boxed and makes an extraordinary gift!

Historic Places such as the Empire State Building know that showcasing their history is of interest to many. This vintage image is printed on the silver box and the text was added on the sides. Classic Legacy prints in sepia, black-white, or color.

Showcase History


This purse mirror has the color photograph of the American Queen Steamboat printed on the metal. This custom gift will always bring back memories of a wonderful trip.

The American Queen recently went back into service on the great Mississippi. Photographs of this mighty steamship are perfect for this business card holder. It is a gift appropriate for a man or woman.

Chapter 5: Highlight Photographs


The Classic Legacy acrylic tray features a printed photograph on a waterproof canvas. The interior of the Brown Hotel is a well known historic place. It is the perfect thing to highlight for Classic Legacy custom gifts.

The Brown Hotel in Louisville is an historic hotel. Their lobby is lovely! What a perfect way to create custom gifts by highlighting this photograph. This image is printed on the Classic Legacy marble coaster.

Highlight Photographs


Classic Legacy wine bottle stoppers are our best sellers. Bottle stoppers with custom logos that celebrate special events are a great way to create extraordinary gifts! This bottle stopper celebrated Keeneland’s 75th Anniversary.

Anniversaries and Birthdays are cause to celebrate! When Keeneland celebrated their 75th birthday Classic Legacy created a collection of gifts.

Chapter 6: Remember Special Events


I designed this Christmas ornament for our family reunion. I wanted something to give to all the Aunts, Uncles, and cousins to remember our special event.

The Texas Rose Festival is celebrated every year. Gifts are need for men and women. The money clip with a custom Classic Legacy medallion is a great way to remember special events.

Remember Special Events

Wharton University held a special event for women in business. They gave each of them a business card holder. I thought this was a very useful and extraordinary gift!


The colors of Louisiana might be purple green and gold! At least that is the way it seems during Mardi Gras. We designed this custom wine stopper and wine cooler to create extraordinary gifts.

Mardi Gras is celebrated in so many towns and cities in Louisiana. Classic Legacy was given the jpg image of the Krewe and we created this silver box with their logo. Celebrating regional events by creating extraordinary gifts is our specialty.

Chapter 7: Emphasize Your Region


This charmed bottle stopper emphasizes the region of Martha’s vineyard. It is just fun! The charms include a lighthouse, flip flops and the custom charm for the region.

Whether your region is the beach or mountains there is something special to emphasize. Classic Legacy created this wonderful tray for Ponte Vedra Country Club. Emphasize your region to create extraordinary gifts.

Emphasize Your Region

The silver classic wine bottle stopper has an image of the region. This is the Ponte Vedra Country Club. Each bottle stopper comes individually boxed with a grosgrain ribbon and silver seal….an extraordinary gift!


Humor is a wonderful way to connect, to make people feel at ease, and to be remembered. This custom Classic Legacy gift was created for Berkshire Hathaway and features Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger as railroad engineers! BRK had just bought Burlington Northern Railroad and they wanted to celebrate this during their yearly shareholder’s meeting.

Chapter 8: Use Humor to Connect


The team at Berkshire Hathaway does have a sense of humor! Each year the shareholder’s meeting has a theme and this year it was planes, trains, and automobiles. Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger were changed into air plane pilots! With our Photoshop magic we were able to create this fun charm for these custom Classic Legacy bottle stoppers. Humor is a great way to connect and create extraordinary gifts!

Use Humor to Connect


Chapter 9: Spotlight People

It is the people in business that make everything work! The Luigi family celebrated their centennial by putting the spotlight on the people that made their business work!

The Classic Legacy marble coaster and marble bottle stopper make a wonderful gift. The process all begins with YOUR jpg image. We can print in sepia, black-white, or color. We can help you create extraordinary gifts when you spotlight people.


Chapter 10: Showcase Leadership

Berkshire Hathaway has an annual shareholder’s meeting. Each year gifts are created to celebrate this event. In 2013 Classic Legacy created this marble coaster set.
