Berlin worked closely with Hawaiian Tropic sun care products founder and owner, Ron Rice, to design the trophy. The concept of the trophy was a nude winged woman (victory) under the sun (from the dot in the "i" of the Hawaiian Tropic logo) and on top of the world (not shown) with Hawaiian Tropic tiki huts on the four corners of the earth and Hawaiian Tropic manufacturing plants are marked on five continents. Five different past winners posed to achieve the body for the "ideal Miss Hawaiian Tropic."
