Blending our Trophies with a unique piece of IP for every Masters event —

After the first two years of the VCT, we knew it was time to refresh our Masters trophy series. Our former trophy, colloquially referred to as "The Graphics Card" didn't quite have the distinct silhouette we were looking for. We started our exploration knowing we wanted to have a distinct trophy silhouette... but more importantly we wanted something that would make each Masters trophy distinct and memorable.

"...The different versions of the trophy have become one of my favorite parts of each event"

Joe Elliott, VCT Brand Director

Explorations led us to a trophy that allows us to customize a central piece of IP in the cup. Tying it back to the region the event is held in, or an IP launch taking place at each Masters event. So far we have featured Yoru's mask, Clove's butterflies, and Iso's ultimate. And sometimes the best designs start with a really hacky sketch. Thankfully our production partner was able to bring our vision to life!
