Inceptum Award Collection

Inceptum Award Collection: Our Beginnings in Corporate Recognition

The Inceptum Award Collection, meaning "beginning" in Latin, honors the origins of Trophyology and celebrates the timeless unique trophy designs that laid the foundation for our company’s enduring legacy. These exquisite pieces are a true reflection of the Architecture of Recognition, blending sculptural elegance, architectural sophistication, and impeccable craftsmanship and creating a new standard for recognition awards, plaques, and trophies.

At the heart of this collection is Portico, the very first custom trophy design we created in 2011. Its classic lines and cantilevered top embody a timeless aesthetic, appealing to both traditional and contemporary tastes. Available in a variety of wood species and finishes, paired with glass or brushed aluminum nameplates, Portico exemplifies the essence of unique executive recognition, making it a cherished and impactful choice for honoring exceptional achievement.

The Inceptum Collection invites you to celebrate milestones and honor excellence with designs that are as meaningful as they are beautiful. Rooted in our early days and crafted to stand the test of time, these awards are a testament to our passion for creating pieces that inspire pride and admiration for years to come.

Proudly architect-designed and artisan-crafted in the USA, Trophyology is committed to sustainability and responsible stewardship of resources.   

Consider the customized awards in our Inceptum Collection for beautifully personalized Lifetime Achievement Awards, meaningful Executive Appreciation, significant Years of Service Awards, and noteworthy Design Awards.
