Red face Sponsor Ranking

My co-worker is responsible for setting up a conference and is offering different sponsorship levels.

Titanium
Platinum
Gold
Silver
Bronze

When asked which sponsorship title is the most exclusive or ultra premium most of us responded with different answers

I'm curious to see how others perceive these titles.

Putting titanium at the top is silly; titanium is nowhere near as expensive as gold or platinum.

If he wants something above platinum, he should use gemstones: ruby, emerald, diamond.

Get rid of titanium and put onyx in its place.

but they're all metals, putting crystals in would be incongruous.

this guys says "unobtainium" is where it's at. You can only get it on the planet Pandora.

Only according to one categorization.

Should one categorize them as wealth-storage means - substitutes for currency - there's no incongruity. I chose such a categorization.

Interesting side note: The Bafokeng people, a nomadic Southern African tribe, settled in what is now Rustenburg, South Africa, site of World Cup games, including US England. Then they discovered they were sitting on 70 percent of the world's known platinum reserves. They have since invested wisely in infrastructure -- roads, schools, hospitals, the stadium -- and other economic developments.

Remove Titanium and be done with it. If you need to have five, then put coal under bronze.
