Branding a Virginia College Athletic Center
BRANDING A NEW ATHLETIC CENTER
Case Study: Signage for Ferrum College’s Hank Norton Center
CHALLENGE:
- Our client had built a new building with help from generous donors;
- They wanted to name the new athletic center in honor of legendary former football coach and athletic director, Hank Norton;
- They sold room naming rights to attract additional funding and needed to mention donors throughout the building on room signs and also in special donor recognition areas.
APPROACH:
- We worked closely with the office of the president and the development department to create effective ADA compliant interior signage with flexible donor and room naming;
- We used existing colors and architectural elements in our designs;
- We incorporated a new, updated campus map into the project that included the new facility.
END RESULTS:
- The customer was very satisfied with the look and function of the new branding and wayfinding system for the facility;
- We completed the project in time for their Open House as promised, and donors were excited to see recognition for their contributions;
- The new building signage became part of news stories and photos in the college’s PR and marketing of the new facility;
- We helped with more signs when renovations were made to the football stadium press box.
