DESIGN CONCEPT

The trophy’s design incorporates the imagery of Taiwan, symbolizing the unique honor belonging to Taiwanese athletes. The ascending pillars represent the athletes’ relentless spirit of self-improvement and perseverance. There are 113 pillars, signifying the year 113 of the Republic of China calendar (2024) — the inaugural year of the Record-Breaking Award. When viewed from the side, the pillars outline the shape of Taiwan, representing every steady step taken in the pursuit of excellence and the collective effort that allows Taiwan to shine brightly on the international stage.

I am truly honored to be part of such an incredible project. As a designer with over 20 years of experience, it’s rare for me to encounter a project that is driven purely by the desire to give, rather than to gain. What excites me most about this project is its core motivation — love: love for God, love for family, and love for Taiwan. This love became my inspiration throughout the creative process. Every design detail was crafted to encourage and uplift those who work tirelessly, striving to stand out from Taiwan and shine on the world stage.

我真的很榮幸，能參與這麼棒的計畫。身為一名資歷超過20年的設計師，我很少碰到像這樣，只求給予不求回報的案子。我見識過許多計畫，它們之所以能成功，背後都有正確的意圖、想法和動機。 參與這項計畫之所以讓我雀躍不已，是因為它背後的動機，就是愛–對神的愛、對家庭的愛，以及對台灣的愛。這份愛，在創作過程中賦予我靈感，每一個設計細節，都是為了激勵並鼓舞那些加倍耕耘、渴望從台灣脫穎而出的人
