I used a modification like this in VB, in the admin side you include a place to upload award images, issue those awards to individual users or user groups.
In the forums side these awards are displayed in the users post pit (Just below the user name, but above the user's location).
You can also create a page that displays all awards and create a tab on the forums home page "Awards".
We used this mod to issue awards for various activities in our online leagues, such as a trophy for winning one of the leagues.

what are these awards? how are they earned? actions or just given?
we have multiple similar... in core, you have special ranks... they are really just a special title and badge (image, icon, etc) that you can give to users... the rank info plugin for sp is a way to show the list of ranks (normal and/or special) and who has that rank (award level)...
we also support cubepoints (and very shortly mycred) for giving points and awards for various activities around the site...
and finally there is the post thanks plugin which allows users to earn points and titles when their fellow users thank them for a post...

I have tried the Special Ranks, and they do not work the way I would need for them to display a icon in the postbit. Also only 1 rank displays, so you would have to make the displaying rank, the rank with the award.
Awards are a simple image, something like this: Award but would display in the postbit with a title of Awards: Image here.
Admins would upload the award image, title the award and issue the award/awards to users.

not sure what you mean by postbit...
and a user can have multiple ranks and display all...
so still not sure if its just admin awarded why it wouldnt work for you... but have made a note about awards...

Then I am not understanding the custom Forum ranks, because they only display 1 image in the Postbit.
The Postbit is the field that you find the Avatar, User Name, Location, Rank, on a users post. Currently I just get 1 image displayed.

oh, that postbit area... 😉 the post user area...
If you give a user multiple special ranks, all badges will show... its optional if you want titles or not... just tested and its working as expected...

How do you assign the admin a special rank?
Offline
The same way as anyone else. Create your special rank and then 'add member' to it - in this case your Admin user.
