Challenge
PlayFab needed milestone awards that felt premium, scalable, and feasible to manufacture.
Growth
Needed to represent customer progress in a visually meaningful way.
Modular System
Each award had to stand alone while also connecting into a larger story.
Feasible Construction
The concept had to be clear enough for fabrication partners to price and build.
Outcomes & Impact
The concept established a clear award direction, produced prototypes, and gave stakeholders a concrete fabrication path even though the program did not ship.
Modular Trophy Series
Created three awards that work individually and combine into a larger growth story.
Fabrication-Ready Direction
Delivered renders and physical prototypes that clarified material, finish, and assembly.
Clear Milestone Recognition
Gave PlayFab a more memorable way to celebrate customer growth than a generic plaque.
