When Major League Cricket collaborated with Bennett Awards to create their Championship Trophy, they sought a design rooted in tradition but destined for innovation.
The journey began with a tribute to tradition—a cup-style award—but quickly evolved into something extraordinary.
Crafting Uniqueness: The Intricate Design of the Cup Celebrating Major League Cricket's Spirit
In a remarkable feat of design, the cup's form elegantly incorporated curving lines that gave rise to captivating positive and negative spaces. This approach resulted in an entirely novel appearance, setting it apart in a league of its own. A nod to the iconic Major League Cricket logo, this design not only captured attention but also pays homage to the sport's legacy.
