Red Bull Solo Q 2023

Between lightning bolts and vibrant colours, the energy of the duel takes shape.


This trophy was specially designed for the final of the international Red Bull Solo Q esports tournament, held in London, England, in May 2023. The event was organised by Red Bull in partnership with Riot Games. Centred around the game League of Legends, the tournament sees players face off in intense one-on-one duels.

For this trophy, the challenge was to create a dialogue between the martial universe of League of Legends and a bold, colourful pop aesthetic.
For this edition, the organisers chose to adopt a bold visual identity, featuring vibrant, acidic colours and a playful, pop-inspired aesthetic. This distinctive direction set the event apart from the game’s usual medieval-fantasy and warlike universe. Our challenge was therefore to successfully merge these two contrasting worlds through the design of the trophy.

We chose a more abstract and sculptural approach to the object. The forms were kept clean and refined to draw attention to the vivid colour gradients and the use of lightning bolts — a key element of the visual identity — symbolising the power, energy, and dynamism that define the game.

The trophy was first developed through sketches, then 3D modelled before being printed. The lighting effects were created using LED strips encased in silicone, tinted in different colours. The paintwork was applied using an airbrush and then protected with a polyurethane varnish.
