Stan Klees developed the first Juno trophies for the inaugural presentations in 1970. These were constructed from [[walnut]] wood, stood {{convert|18|in|cm}} tall and resembled a [[metronome]].<ref name=CollCanadaRPM /><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/news/entertainment/story.html?id=ab60d316-529a-472a-83be-ff2ba9013624 |title=Junos' tune has changed from modest beginnings |first=Larry |last=LeBlanc |date=5 April 2008 |work=[[Calgary Herald]] |access-date=10 December 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120825154823/http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/news/entertainment/story.html?id=ab60d316-529a-472a-83be-ff2ba9013624 |archive-date=25 August 2012 }}</ref> When CBC televised the ceremonies in 1975, the award was constructed from [[Acrylic resin|acrylic]] instead of wood while retaining a metronome shape. The trophy was given minor modifications in succeeding years. These included a reduction in size for ease of handling, and changes to the inlay design such as a special 1996 emblem to signify the 25th anniversary.<ref name=JunoStat />

In 2000 following criticism from producers that the existing award trophy did not have an attractive television appearance, CARAS commissioned a redesigned award from Stoney Creek, Ontario, artist Shirley Elford. After reviewing three designs, two of which were patterned after the existing trophy, a new trophy design was selected featuring a glass human figure surrounded by a nickel-coated spiral symbolic of a [[Staff (music)|musical staff]] on an aluminum base.<ref name=JunoStat>{{cite web|url=http://junoawards.ca/40th-anniversary-events/juno-awards-statuette/ |title=History of the Juno Awards Statuette |publisher=CARAS |access-date=10 December 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101213123137/http://junoawards.ca/40th-anniversary-events/juno-awards-statuette/ |archive-date=13 December 2010 }}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oQ0EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA48 | title=Juno Awards Goes Back To Toronto | first=Larry | last=LeBlanc | magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] | date=15 January 2000 | page=48 | access-date=10 December 2010 }}</ref> A few display statuettes were circulated for presentation during the ceremonies.

In October 2010, CARAS unveiled a new award design to be used from 2011 on.
