Cal State University San Marcos
In our ongoing collaborations with Cal State San Marcos, we've worked to craft unique and engaging spaces throughout campus. The synergy between our teams have resulted in immersive award displays, attractive timeline walls, branded wall logos, eye-catching window graphics, and vibrant environmental displays that infuse the campus experience with character and depth.
Cougar Wall Of Fame
Cal State University San Marcos approached us with a special project: designing an impactful awards wall to honor the Tukwut Leadership Awards Night (TLAN) winners. After brainstorming and refining ideas, we found the perfect approach. Using their branding guide, we created vibrant color gradient placards for each year's winners. To add context, we designed a two-layer informational placard, detailing the award's origins and the exceptional qualities of each winner. Completing the display, custom-painted dimensional "COUGAR WALL OF FAME" letters were installed above it. Now, every recipient of this prestigious award is elegantly acknowledged for their outstanding leadership and commitment to student life at CSUSM.
Cougar Pantry
In response to food insecurity on campus, Cal State University San Marcos initiated the Cougar Pantry, a warm and inviting on-campus food pantry for current enrolled students. They approached us to design a branded impact wall that would tie the space together. We brought their vision to life by transforming the blank wall with rustic brown and white wood boards. The centerpiece was a beautifully hand-painted, distressed wood logo sign, adding a charming touch to the space. In addition we added custom eye catching graphics to the Cougar Pantry bike that helps distribute healthy food and snacks to students on campus.
ASI Team Timeline Wall
We had the privilege of collaborating with the ASI team at Cal State University San Marcos to create an impactful timeline wall, commemorating their remarkable history. With elegance in mind, we crafted a tasteful and layered display. Using premium materials, we combined black vinyl and laser-cut acrylic text for the informational statement. The timeline section higlights their most significant moments, this section was digitally printed on premium vinyl and applied to CNC cut Dibond, strategically offset from the wall for added depth. Year markers were laser-cut out of matte white acrylic, while the historical text was meticulously cut from matte vinyl and directly applied to the wall. The finished piece stands as a tribute to their organization's compelling and poignant achievements throughout the years.
Wrapped Receptacles
It's amazing what these kinds of unique projects can do to a space. In an effort to increase visibility we wrapped over 20 waste receptacles at Cal State University San Marcos, transforming these ordinary receptacles into an attractive and branded element throughout the campus, leaving a lasting and positive impression on students, staff, and visitors alike.
