The big payoff!
Posted by jrensink78 on August 23, 2009
After 6 weeks of waiting, I finally received my official CCIE plaque. Outside of the newer CCIE logo image, the plaque is pretty much the same as it has been for a little while. It’s pretty much a printed piece of paper underneath a plastic frame. The funny thing about it is that Cisco still advertises it as an engraved plaque on their website.
I know some people complain about how cheap it looks for what we all have to pay and go through to earn it. I somewhat agree. I think it could be a little nicer. Maybe if the paper had some nice raised print or something it would look sharper. But when I look at past versions of the plaque, I think I like the current version the best.

Jeff,
You may want to be careful with your image. There have been several people out on the web taking images like this one and doctoring up fake CCIE plaque pictures to pass off on job interviews. You may want to consider using a lower resolution version.

Meh… There are plenty of other images of these plaques out there where altering/removing mine wouldn’t make much of a difference. Plus, who accepts a photo of a CCIE plaque as proof of certification?
Thanks for the concern though.
