Bespoke trophies · Metal casting · Competitive awards

Bespoke metal trophies developed for an annual esports tournament, cast to echo the visual language of the Dakar Rally and produced as collectible awards for winning teams.

  • The Daymar Rally is an esports interpretation of the Dakar Rally, run annually by Atmo Esports and structured around three competitive racing categories. Each year, the tournament required a set of trophies that reflected both the spirit of the event and its real-world motorsport inspiration.

    Drawing directly from the Dakar Rally’s visual identity, the trophies were conceived as physical counterparts to the endurance, terrain and character of the races they represented.

  • Existing tournament logo artwork provided a clear starting point for translating the digital identity into a physical object. The rough, utilitarian aesthetic associated with desert racing made sand-casting an appropriate manufacturing approach.

    Over successive years, trophies were produced using combinations of brass, bronze and aluminium, allowing variation in material and finish while retaining a consistent overall form and recognisable design language.

  • For nine consecutive years, JRDF has produced the Daymar Rally trophies, refining the design annually to ensure each set remains distinct while maintaining continuity for returning competitors.

    As the tournament expanded globally, material choices were adapted to suit international shipping. Earlier brass trophies, weighing over 8kg, were replaced with aluminium versions to reduce weight and ensure practical distribution to winning teams worldwide.
