Big trophy designs for major events
When the trophy is lifted on stage, that image travels further than any press release: it becomes the defining visual of the event, the symbol that everyone remembers and shares.
At Fabit, we design and produce large and oversized trophies entirely in-house, with no standard molds and no catalogue dimensions, so the piece that appears on your stage is built specifically for that moment.
Big trophies built for stage presence and lasting impact
Oversized trophies are built for moments that demand attention. They need to command a stage, perform under event lighting and reflect the significance of the achievement they represent. Scale alone is not enough. Proportions, finish, weight and construction all contribute to a trophy that feels worthy of the occasion.
Fabit has produced large-format trophies for major esports, sports and corporate events, including the Blast Slam trophy. Trusted by brands such as Red Bull, ESL, Nintendo and Amazon, we create showpiece trophies that combine visual impact with production precision, engineered to perform on stage, in photography and throughout global delivery.
Engineered for major events and championship moments
Large trophies introduce structural and logistical challenges that smaller awards do not, and every decision from internal framing to surface finishing needs to account for the demands of a live event environment.
We design the internal structure of large trophies to carry their own weight and withstand handling without compromising the exterior finish. Every oversized piece is engineered before it is produced, not scaled up from a smaller model.
Large trophies are photographed, filmed and displayed under event lighting, so surface finish and proportional balance matter enormously. We use premium metal finishes and advanced 3D production to ensure the piece reads powerfully at distance and in close-up.
Big trophies require custom packaging to survive international shipping without damage to the surface or structure. We design and produce bespoke packaging in-house as part of every large-format commission.
Our cases
Bespoke trophies and awards crafted for iconic brands and unforgettable moments
Our big trophy process
Large and oversized trophies require more lead time and closer collaboration than standard pieces, and we build that into the process from the first conversation.
Briefing & strategy
We define your objectives, audience, timeline and budget. Together we establish the creative direction, technical requirements and scope of the project.
Concept & 3D design
Our designers translate your briefing into detailed 3D concepts. You receive realistic visuals for review and refinement before production begins.
Production & finishing
After approval, your trophy is produced in-house using premium materials with structural engineering suited to its scale. Each piece is finished and inspected before packaging.
Worldwide delivery
We handle packaging, logistics and international shipping to ensure safe, on-time delivery anywhere in the world, whether it is one piece or a full programme.

We ordered a range of awards for our employees. We were very happy with the result. Very personalized and unique! The team also accepts and picks up feedback to make sure we were happy with the result. Thanks team Fabit!The team actively listened to our feedback and made sure we were fully satisfied with the final outcome. Thanks, team Fabit.
Fabit absolutely blew our expectations away with the 3D trophy for our PGT PLO Series in Las Vegas.
The players loved the look and feel. Fabit took our concept and delivered something even better than we envisioned. We will definitely work with them again.
Frequently asked questions
Large and oversized trophies raise questions that go beyond aesthetics, covering structural design, production methods, event logistics and how to get the right result within a specific deadline.
Getting these details right at the start of the project saves significant time later and ensures the piece delivers on the moment it is designed for. Here are the most common questions we receive from event organisers and brand managers looking to commission a big trophy for a major championship or flagship event.
Senior Account Manager
How big can a big trophy actually be, and what are the structural limits?
There is no fixed upper limit on the size of trophies we produce, but every large-format commission begins with a structural assessment. The internal engineering of an oversized trophy determines whether it can support its own weight, survive transport and hold up through a live event without any surface damage or structural failure.
We have produced trophies well over a metre in height and with complex sculptural forms that require internal armatures and support systems invisible from the outside. The design process for these pieces integrates structural planning from the earliest concept stage rather than treating it as a separate engineering problem.
If you have a specific height, weight or form in mind, share those parameters in your briefing and we will confirm what is achievable. You can also see examples of our large-format work on our championship trophies page.
What materials work best for large and oversized trophies?
The material choice for a large trophy depends on the visual language of the event, the structural requirements of the form and the practical demands of transport and handling. Metal is the most common choice for large trophies because it offers rigidity, holds fine detail well and photographs under event lighting with authority.
For very large pieces, we often combine materials, using a metal exterior with an engineered internal structure that reduces overall weight without sacrificing surface quality. Advanced 3D printing allows us to achieve complex geometries that would be impossible with traditional fabrication methods alone.
The choice of finish also matters at this scale. A brushed metal surface reads differently under stage lighting than a high-gloss finish, and both communicate different things about the event’s character. We advise on finish as part of the concept stage.
How long does it take to produce an oversized custom trophy?
For a large-format trophy with custom design work, we recommend allowing twelve to sixteen weeks from briefing to delivery. This covers concept development, revision rounds, structural engineering, production, finishing, quality inspection, packaging and international shipping.
Tighter timelines are sometimes possible depending on the complexity of the form and the destination, but compressing the design or production phase always introduces risk at this scale. If your event date is fixed, share it at the start of your enquiry and we will give you an honest assessment of what is achievable.
For events where the trophy is also a PR asset, revealed ahead of the final, the reveal date becomes part of the timeline planning alongside the production and shipping schedule.
Can a large trophy be used as a travelling or permanent trophy?
Yes, and many of our large-format commissions are designed with exactly that in mind. A travelling trophy, one that is held by the champion and returned for the next cycle, requires additional engineering considerations around durability and ease of handling compared to a one-off presentation piece.
We design travelling trophies with replaceable name plates or engraving panels so each champion’s name can be added without altering the main structure. The trophy itself is built to withstand repeated transport, handling and display over many years.
If you are commissioning a permanent trophy to be held by the event organisation rather than a champion, we design the base and plinth accordingly, often with space for multiple years of winners to be recorded directly on the piece.
Do you produce large trophies for both sports and esports events?
Yes. Large-format trophies are some of the most in-demand pieces across both sports and esports, and we have produced showpiece awards for organisations operating in both spaces. Esports finals in particular have driven strong demand for sculptural, oversized trophies that translate well on broadcast and social media.
The design language differs between contexts. Sports trophies often draw on established visual traditions with cup forms, shields and pedestals, while esports trophies tend toward more expressive sculptural forms that communicate the energy and identity of the game or tournament brand.
You can explore our full range of services across both sectors at the services page. including our dedicated custom trophies and trophy cups pages.
