All the Finder Awards
Check out the best of the best, judged by experts.
Key takeaways
- All of our Finder Awards badges are free to use in marketing and advertising campaigns.
- There is no expiry date on Finder Awards, making them easy and safe to implement.
- All categories have only one winner, meaning your competitors won't be using the same medal in market.
Print and digital files
All award recipients receive award files in both print and digital formats. Please ensure you use the appropriate file for each medium.
Files for digital use:
Formats: PNG, SVG
These are provided in the RGB colour profile at 72dpi, ensuring the file loads quickly on websites or emails. If you require files in higher resolution, feel free to reach out to the Finder Awards team.
Files for print use
Formats: PDF, EPS
These are provided in the CMYK colour profile at a higher resolution. EPS files with the text converted to outlines are available upon request.
Minimum sizing, clearance and modifications
Minimum size:
The minimum size is 40mm for print and 70px for digital.
Clearance space
The award clearance space should be a minimum of 25% of the award size to maintain clear legibility. However the Finder sparkle - the white burst in the upper lefthand corner - may exceed this clearance.
No modifications
The award medal is not to be modified and the font must remain as Modern Era. If you wish to modify the badge please contact us with your request.
Multiple Awards
Multiple awards from different categories
For displaying multiple awards that aren't from the same category, the minimum clearance space is 25% of the award size, spaced evenly (horizontally or vertically to accommodate your design) and in order of year.
Same award from different years
If displaying the same award for different years, you may overlay the medals in order of year as long as the year on each medal is not being obstructed. We are able to issue a medal with multiple years for the same category upon request.
Multiple awards within the same category but different subcategories
If you win multiple awards within the same category but different subcategories you are able to stack these as long as the category text is not obscured.
Colour options for printing
The Finder sparkle
Our medals have a sparkle in the upper lefthand corner which may not always be ideal when putting stickers on physical product. If you require a version without the sparkle for select use, please contact the Awards team.
Foiling & metallic effects
Brands may use foiling or similar techniques on any printed Finder Awards medals to give a metallic effect. You may foil the entire design in blue and gold/silver or use a metallic rim around flat blue.
Embossed test & outline
Brands may also opt to print using an embossed text and outline on the Awards medal design.
Methodology reference
When using any Finder Awards logo, brands should reference the methodology behind their award win at least once on their website so consumers can easily find this information.
The reference can either be a direct link from the the Finder Awards logo or text referencing the Finder Awards OR you may include methodology information on your own site.
If you choose to provide a link you can link to:
1. Awards page relevant to your brand e.g:
- https://www.finder.com.au/finder-awards/product-awards/banking-awards
- https://www.finder.com.au/finder-awards/product-awards/credit-card-awards
2. The Finder Awards hub pages:
- www.finder.com.au/finder-awards
- https://www.finder.com.au/finder-awards/customer-satisfaction-awards
3. Any other page that showcases your award win.
If you choose to provide a written methodology you can take the methodology information from the specific awards page.
For example, for the balance transfer credit card methodology you would write:
Balance Transfer Credit Card Methodology:
- Purchase rate: 2.5%
- 1st year annual fee: 12%
- Annual fee: 8%
- Balance transfer period: 40%
- Balance transfer fee: 20%
- Balance transfer introductory rate: 15%
- Balance transfer revert rate: 2.5%
- Assumed monthly spend: $2,500
No approval process
We don't require you to send creative to us for approval unless you are requesting to use the Awards badge outside of the guidelines specified on this page.
However, if it's helpful for your own compliance to have explicit approval from Finder then we're very happy to provide this. We typically can provide same day turn around via the awards@finder.com email.
Our right to retract an Award
Keeping it fair and transparent
We love celebrating the best products and services, but to keep things fair and maintain trust and credibility in our Awards, we reserve the right to take back an Award if things change. Here's how and why:
- Big changes to your product: If your product or service undergoes major changes that change its quality, features or user experience, we might need to rethink the Award. Our goal is to ensure our Awards always reflect the best out there.
- Disreputable brand behaviour: If your brand faces issues such as inquiry or enforcement action from regulatory bodies like the ASIC, the OAIC or ACCC, we need to protect our Awards' integrity. Serious misconduct or legal troubles can lead us to revoke the Award.
How we handle this
- Review and communication: If we identify a potential issue, we'll conduct a thorough review. If action is needed, we'll reach out to discuss the situation.
- Public update: To maintain transparency, we'll make a public announcement that the Award was retracted, and may briefly explain the reasons for our decision.
