Signage that works

I've made a new resolution to find something inspiring at least every other day... as well as to be less verbose. i'm not sure i can promise a daily update, if only because of the lack of time..

today, i ran across eventscape's and charles schwab's internally lit wall.. 275' x 20' high, with dimensional logos.. as the site says, and at least the picture shows... even light distribution and no shadows... a beautiful piece.

More TinCaps Firsts...



Although I haven't posted anything about this project yet... In short, The Fort Wayne TinCaps is a rebrand of the Fort Wayne Wizards Single A Minor League Baseball Team that my boss and I designed (at sky design), along with the team, and team owners... We worked on the complete rebrand of this team, as well as the graphics and signage package for the new Parkview Field Stadium in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

One of my favorite responses to the recently unveiled logo I designed (along with my boss, and of course, the team and team owner):

that's one bad apple, and I mean "bad" in the context of tough, attitude-filled and hip. Most of the apples I've known in my life have tended to hang around rather complacently.

This apple looks irritated. Maybe it's because the marketing department shoved that tin cap on his head so hard his stem poked through it.


... for a more detailed explanation on the origin and creation of the new logo and team name, you can see the article here or here, the official website... or you can simply google Fort Wayne TinCaps and see what's up.. or you can ask me for more details.. But it stems from the legend of Johnny Appleseed and his place of burial in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

.. but without further ado.. the reason for the post! (see below)

TinCaps Ticket Sales Success
Team sells out chairback seats for Opening Day in 27 minutes.

The season of firsts continued for the Fort Wayne TinCaps on Tuesday, February 24th as the team put individual game tickets on-sale for the first time and received an unprecedented response — all fixed seats in the ballpark were sold out in less than a half-hour. “The public interest and support was tremendous,” said TinCaps President, Mike Nutter. “We have sold every fixed seat in Parkview Field, and are pretty close to selling out our lawn area as well. That’s a pretty good day in my book.” The team attributes the success of the first day of ticket sales to the excitement surrounding Parkview Field and the affordability of the ticket options.
