Project Overview
Signarama Troy has had a long-standing partnership with Marian High School, providing them with various signage needs such as plaques, record boards, and banners. However, the school approached the Signarama team with a unique project for their hall of fame wall. The wall was located right outside the main gym entryway on a cinderblock wall, and the school wanted a “graphic mural” to be installed.
The Signarama team offered multiple solutions for wrapping the cinder block wall, including using a film that conforms to the block, resulting in a print that looks almost like it’s painted, or skinning the wall with aluminum and applying the graphic film to the panels for a smooth surface. The school chose the latter option.
The Signarama team worked diligently to skin every piece of the wall surface, including cutting around the TV and outlets. To add a finishing touch, the team installed the school’s logo above the entryway with a soft LED backlit glow, giving the wall a polished and professional look.
The Result
The custom graphic mural that Signarama Troy installed at Marian High School was a resounding success, delivering a transformative visual experience that surpassed the school’s expectations. By utilizing high-quality materials and expert installation techniques, the Signarama team was able to create a stunning display that captures the essence of the school’s values and mission, while also serving as a source of inspiration for current and future students. The mural is a testament to the power of design and how it can help elevate a space and communicate a message, making it an excellent addition to Marian High School’s campus.
