Athlete’s Care Signage

admin — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 21:30:50 +0000

Athlete’s Care had acquired a new location on Yonge & Sheppard, with a ’billboard size’ exterior wall facing a high traffic public transit gateway. This feature provided a wonderful opportunity to capture attention and allure potential customers by strategically branding the exterior of their studio.

Casco designed a distinctive photomontage, featuring images of athletes in action, with key body parts emphasized by x-ray wireframes. Along with text call outs, these wireframes are used to showcase the variety and type of Athlete’s Care’s services.

Their corporate blue wall served as a backdrop to mount the giant layout, produced on durable, self-adhesive printed vinyl. The illuminated overhead sign features their logo, complemented by a large frosted decal applied to the entrance doors.

LDIC Signage

The signage for LDIC’s new office space located in Toronto’s Exchange Tower was inspired by their recently revamped visual identity, which we also designed. The lobby signage greets you with a prominent pair of griffins, symbols of intelligence and strength, guardians of treasure. The deep burgundy colour sets a rich tone complemented by contemporary silver. An accent wall painted in the same shade complements the signage. Plexiglas acrylic plaques with the logo decorate entrances throughout the office.

Purpose: branding; signage; interior design.

To celebrate the historical importance of the The Lumsden Building in Toronto, Lumsden Chambers hired us to design environmental graphics for their office’s reception. The wall-to-wall montage of 1920′s images of the building serves as a backdrop to the lawyer directory system. Frosted vinyl backing creates separation from the background graphics and highlights the identities of the resident law firms and practitioners.

Due to an outdated and confusing map, Chestnut Hill Homes reached out to our studio to design a wayfinding map system for their Gardens at Queen residential community in downtown Toronto.

We executed a thorough site inspection and analysed residents and visitors traffic flow to identify optimum locations for the maps.

The map provided not only orientation for the residents, but helped mail carriers and other delivery services to navigate the intricate residential layout.

Purpose: Provide orientation for visitors and residents

We designed and produced the signage for the new Bobby Forhan Olympic Rink, based on the identity we also designed for them. Environmental signage was applied to the entrance to the rink, along the corridor surrounding the rink, and the main feature signage surrounding the scoreboard at the Magna Centre in Newmarket, Ontario.

Purpose: Establish site branding
