Name that award.

Please help me name our new "employee of the month" award.
My company is launching an employee of the month award, and are having a contest to name it. It has already been decided that the trophy each month will be a crystal/clear globe, and it is specified that "the word 'globe' must be in the title."
Things already ruled out include "The globetrotter" (too cutesy) or "The golden globe" (because the globe is clear).
If anybody can come up with a clever idea for this, it's someone on AskMe. My first inclination is to go with the literal "globe must be in the title" and come up with something containing the letters G-L-O-B-E, but perhaps not together or even in that order.
So ... what should it be?

The Globie. (goes with the Grammy and the Emmy and the Tony)

I'd reconsider the Golden Globe- kind of hilarious because it's clear

Are we naming the trophy itself, or coming up with a title awarded to the employee who wins it?

Gotta Love Our Best Employee
If it's "Gotta Love Our Best Employee Ever" then it can still be the GLOBEE.

But if it's "Gotta Love Our Best EmployeeEver For a Twelfth of a Fiscal Year" You get the GLOBEE FTFY.

Mod note: Folks, the request is for naming suggestions, not for whether or not to do the award. It's fine to not think it's an awesome idea but that's not an answer.

If the Globe gets passed to the next person:
Supreme Globe Holder
Most Noble Globe Holder
Guardian of the Globe
Token of the Globe
Holy Glober
Globeus Maximus
Yeah, reached the point where Globe no longer seems like a real word.
