Red Bull Instalock 2025
The trophy’s design is built around an X-shaped form, developed in a graphic style inspired by the game’s visual identity.
This trophy was created for the second consecutive edition of Red Bull Instalock. Organised around VALORANT by Red Bull and Riot Games, the tournament took place at the Gaming Sphere in London, England, in May 2025.

The trophy’s design is centred around an X-shaped form, a key symbol of the event’s visual identity. Geometric cuts running across its surface enhance its graphic character, while the substantial base gives it both stability and a strong stage presence.
On the front of the base sits a circular medallion featuring the Red Bull Instalock logo. The textured ring surrounding it evokes a locking mechanism, directly referencing the idea of a “lock” suggested by the event’s name.
The trophy was first sketched from multiple angles, then modelled in 3D before being produced using stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing.
Each component was then primed and finished with metallic paint to capture the light and accentuate the forms, before the final assembly.
