It all starts with a phenomenal backdrop.
Great facilities are essential to recruiting and attracting top collegiate talent athletes and exceeding the expectations of current players. The right environment can rally team spirit and create exhilarating experiences for fans and athletes alike. Your school’s athletic and academic facilities should also seamlessly complement its history, values, and legacy. It’s a tall order and that’s why it’s imperative to have a seasoned display partner in your corner. The experts at Adler Display excel at blending strategic planning with innovative designs to create mesmerizing branded facilities that embrace tradition and encourage greatness.
Branded signage wields some serious power.
You’ve probably noticed that top collegiate athletic departments rely heavily on branded signage throughout their indoor and outdoor athletic facilities. They’re well aware of its unparalleled effectiveness in promoting school spirit, energizing athletes, and impressing potential recruits. Branded signage has the added benefit of giving dull and tired areas of the facility a facelift without the expense of major renovations. Here are a few of the many ways you can utilize school branding to embellish your campus facilities:
- Visually enhance windows and doors with vivid graphics featuring school logos to add color while creating privacy for offices, weight rooms, training rooms, and other areas.
- Celebrate past program and player accomplishments with oversized championship banners hung from the rafters or with custom hall of fame displays.
- Add life to boring spaces by displaying massive supergraphics in hallways, locker rooms, meeting rooms, and offices, or with mesh windscreens along the fences surrounding outdoor courts and fields.
- Amp up press conferences and important school photo opportunities with media backdrops featuring step and repeat graphics of your school logo. Event backdrops can be created on a larger scale for important events like convocation and commencement.
- Garner attention on- and off-campus when you transport teams with vehicle graphics and vehicle wraps featuring school logos or full branding.
Create excitement and promote unity with wall graphics.
College athletic organizations have long relied on murals, banners, and other oversized signage to create enthusiasm throughout their facilities. For example, locker room signage and graphics can accentuate important team qualities such as togetherness, positivity, and sportsmanship. Every sports program can benefit from strategically-placed, colorful wall graphics. Some ingenious examples include:
- Gymnasiums: From basketball games to wrestling matches, wall graphics make it easy to show off your school spirit. Use them to showcase the years that your institution has won conference championships or to celebrate top athletes of days gone by.
- Stadiums: Why not wrap vibrant murals on lifeless columns and walls? Spice up that boring baseball field with a large graphic of your school mascot on the press box or at the facility’s entrance.
- Locker Rooms: As the home of inspiration, the right locker room signage can lend support to any pep talk or team meeting. Murals of past championships, inspiring quotes, motivational imagery, and more will deliver just the right message to help athletes shine.
