Branding starts on the inside.

The most meaningful place to reinforce your company’s brand? Right on the office walls.

This was our approach when API Heat Transfer tasked us to help with the expansion and redesign of their global headquarters here in Buffalo. We created signage for the new space that embodied the API brand in order to reinforce a sense of purpose to employees and visitors alike.

To ensure a cohesive look between signage and office furnishings, we collaborated with Inside Designs Buffalo. For signage production and installation, we teamed with Hadley Exhibits, Print Leader, and IMG_INK.

From concept renderings (left) to real life (right), these are the striking results:
