DesignA trophy render is your design’s first big reveal, where your imagination begins to turn into a reality. This photorealistic render of your custom trophy design is the first time you’ll see your award truly start to take shape, allowing you to make any tweaks or refinements needed before it moves swiftly into production.
Here’s why trophy renders are such an important part of the custom trophy design process…

Why Trophy Renders Are a Game-Changer
A render is so much more than just a pretty picture of your award. It’s your chance to make any tweaks and avoid those “wish we’d changed that” moments later down the line!
Here’s why trophy renders are such a game-changer:
- Get a full visual preview of your custom trophy design before production begins.
- Be confident in the knowledge that your layout works, and there’s enough room for logos and winners’ details.
- Understand how materials, shapes, and proportions work together long before you give the green light.
- Easily share the render with your team, clients, or sponsors and get everyone excited for the ceremony.
- Request any amends with ease, such as adjustments to the colour or material.

How Do I Get a Trophy Render Made?
To create a 3D trophy render, we’ll need some simple information from you to brief our design team. Here’s what we need to get going:
- Your brand assets such as logos, graphics, fonts, colour palettes, or brand guidelines.
- The quantity of trophies you’d like ordering, as this will affect the overall cost. But we do offer some great bulk discounts!
- Your budget, in total or per trophy. This can be specific or just a ballpark range.
- Material and style preferences – wood, metal, acrylic, 3D printed, colourful, minimalist… the list goes on! Get inspired by our guide to trophy design materials.
- Previous award designs – even if you’d like a brand new design, it’s useful to see what you’ve had previously.
- Design inspiration – take a look at our custom trophy gallery for tons of design ideas.
Please note that our 3D renders are only available for custom trophy designs, not our off-the-shelf orders.
