THE LINX PLANNER & DESIGN GUIDE

"Recognition should be seen, celebrated, and designed to grow."

Before choosing layouts, materials or finishes, take a moment to define what your Recognition wall is meant to do.

RECOGNITION ISN’T JUST DISPLAYED. IT’S EXPERIENCED.

Recognition plays a powerful role in how people feel about where they work, contribute, and
belong. When it is visible, thoughtful, and well-presented, it reinforces culture, strengthens
connection, and gives meaning to achievement.


Too often, recognition is treated as an afterthought—added on, tucked away, or designed without intention.


LINX changes that.


LINX Recognition Walls are designed to bring recognition into the architectural language of
a space—so it feels permanent, integrated, and worthy of the people it honors.


This guide will help you design a recognition wall that not only looks exceptional—but feels
right, functions effortlessly, and stands the test of time.

Customer Experiences

Recognition That Makes an Impact. Relationships That Last.
★★★★★
"Our experience has been nothing short of amazing! We wanted to create a wall of plaques that was used to recognize our employee’s achievements and they recommended the LINX wall. Installation was fast and professional and making updates to our wall is as easy as could be. It’s so easy that I am able to order new plaques and install them myself! With the LINX wall, we are able to make expansions as our company continues to grow and the design is timeless, so we’ll have it around for a long time. Our team is beyond happy with the way our wall has turned out and would recommend it to anyone."

“What started off as a simple replacement of a plaque turned into an entire wall dedicated to generations of award winners at our school. I couldn't be happier with the way our recognition wall turned out and the incredible customer service. We are two time zones away and the LINX system was packaged, shipped, and delivered within a couple weeks of being ordered. It was easy to install that even my noncarpentry background was able to put up within a few hours. I would recommend this for any company, school, or organization and have received numerous compliments already. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“The pictures don’t do it justice—it really is beautiful! And the best part of it is that the employees love it! They all think it’s pretty cool to find their names and to look at the others and to see the starting dates of everyone. The plates all go in start date order, so it tells a great story too . . . We have also had very nice comments from others that have come into our office (suppliers, customers, etc.). It really makes a statement about who we are! It’s all customizable to the size you want, and our vendor has made it very easy to order and install.”
