Cross-Border & International Deal Toys

Deal toys and financial tombstones involving cross-border transactions are featured in the galleries beginning on this page. Altogether, you’ll find over 150 deal toys having cross-border or international themes.

You’ll notice deal toy designs commemorating a number of celebrated, high-profile cross-border deals. These include those involving 21st Century Fox, Sky, and Comcast, and Grupo Televisa and Univision. You’ll also see tombstones involving a number of established international companies and brands, such as Siemens, Roche, Citigroup, Moody’s, Toyota, Mitsubishi, and Roche.

As you might expect for transactions involving participants and properties spanning multiple countries, there are some recurring designs. These include deal toy designs involving maps, flags, compasses, globes, currency symbols, state emblems, national mascots, as well as working clocks highlighting different time zones.

But the designs here also reflect a full range not only of countries and regions but also of sectors and industries. Among the lower-profile deals you’ll find commemorated here are for instance, a Japanese investment in a U.S.-based manufacturer of piloted flying vehicles; an Australian acquisition by a Swedish environmental tech company; a Polish-Spanish joint venture centered on offshore wind projects; a joint venture between a Michigan-based footwear manufacturer and a Chinese sports retailer; the acquisition by a British firm of a California producer of integrated circuits; and the sale of the Chinese business of a German retailer.

You’ll also see recognized here transactions that, while not cross-border, have regional or country-specific themes that may be of interest.

Finally, you’ll find here relevant designs commemorating achievement and events unrelated to any specific transaction, cross-border or otherwise. These include, for instance, designs recognizing participation in a prestigious global medicine conference, and another given to speakers at an internationally-focused event sponsored by Harvard Business School.
