1970-044   Dallas Fort Worth Society of Visual Communications Award Medal
1970
by Adlai S. Hardin
Pin It...Create Flipcard...Contact Me...
Bronze
Description

This uniface medal's obverse bears two sculpted lips in the center, a disk above and concentric circles below. Around top, DALLAS FORT WORTH SOCIETY OF VISUAL COMMUNICATIONS; below, MEDAL AWARD

The medal has no signature or maker's mark.

This medal deserves the adjective "funky." When I showed it to my kids they all said: "Wow, what is that all about?" I like the medal for how unusual it is. The mouth probably symbolizes the "communications" aspect of the commissioning organization. The concentric circles might symbolize broadcasting and the disk at the top could be the sun from which we receive all the light that allows us to have visual arts or the eye that allows us to perceive it.

While the medal is unsigned and undated, according to Dick Johnson it is indeed designed by Hardin and struck by the Medallic Art Company. The Dallas Fort Worth Society of Visual Communications still exists under the name of Dallas Society of Visual Communications. The name on the medal was only in use briefly in the 1970s.

The medal measures approximately 88mm x 82mm and was struck by the Medallic Art Company in bronze and a white metal. No mintage is reported.
