Event Background:
Legendary Figures and Symbols of Glory of Top Events
Miguel Indurain is a legendary Spanish cyclist who has won five consecutive championships (1991-1995) and won the Giro d’Italia twice. His events are based on the core concepts of “challenging the limits” and “sustainable competitive spirit”. As a professional one-day event certified by the International Cycling Union (UCI), the Indurain Grand Prix attracts top riders from all over the world every year. Its trophy is not only a symbol of honor, but also a carrier of sportsmanship and historical heritage.
Design concept: Interpreting the competitive spirit with art
MC ART AWARDS adheres to the design concept of “innovation and sustainability” and injects multiple cultural metaphors into this trophy:
1. Dynamic lines and power aesthetics:
The main body of the trophy adopts a streamlined metal structure, inspired by the lightning speed in the cycling race. The surface is engraved with the classic track outline of Induran’s career, paying tribute to his legend of “five consecutive Tour de France championships”.
2. Environmentally friendly materials and process innovation:
The base is made of recyclable aluminum alloy, combined with 3D printing technology to reduce carbon emissions from traditional casting, echoing the green environmental protection concept advocated by the event in recent years.
3. Fusion of cultural symbols:
The top of the trophy is inlaid with traditional patterns from the Navarra region of Spain, symbolizing Induran’s hometown complex and also implying the resonance of the competitive spirit of the East and the West.
Significance of cooperation:
Global influence of Chinese design
MC ART AWARDS, which has won international design awards such as iF and Red Dot, has become the preferred partner for this cooperation. The brand founder said: “This design is not only a physical presentation of the trophy, but also a cross-border dialogue between sportsmanship and artistic expression. We look forward to conveying the innovative power of “Chinese wisdom” to the world through the trophy.”
The Anduran Grand Prix Organizing Committee commented: “MC design perfectly balances the historical weight and modern aesthetics. This trophy will become part of the cultural heritage of the event and inspire a new generation of drivers to pursue excellence.”
