The front face carries a blue arc with gold stars implying the ESGHoF logo and a bas relief polished panel in the shape of a bullet steel to be engraved with the recipients name and year of induction. The obverse face is in plain metal and carries stylised images of the three main steel guitars: Lap steel. Pedal steel and Resonator.
