At the 2015 MTV Movie Awards, a special award was added to the mix, the T-Mobile Award for Best Break-Up. As an extension of T-Mobile’s “Break-Up Letter” marketing campaign, the award was created to recognize the best break-up in a movie from the past year.
Designing The Golden Salt Award
With many notable movies in the running, T-Mobile and MTV came to us to design a new award to pair with the iconic golden popcorn, yet as fun as the honor itself. And what pairs better with popcorn than salt?
We designed a custom golden salt shaker, equivalent in size and stature to the iconic MTV Golden Popcorn. The one-of-a-kind award boasts a solid polished brass salt shaker cap, atop a pink body and black base. T-Mobile’s signature pink was selected for the body with a white T logo.

The Golden Salt Award presented by T-Mobile was awarded by Workaholics star Anders Holm to ‘Gone Girl’ during the live show on April 12, 2015.
