Georgetown College needed something to spruce up and invigorate its freshman dormitory lobbies.  Enter FASTSIGNS Louisville and the "Room for Success" project.
 

 FASTSIGNS Louisville worked with Associate VP of Institutional Advancement, Communications & Marketing Jim Allison to develop a large wall mural in each of the men and women's freshman dormitories.  The project featured printed wallpaper with a graffiti style displaying words and phrases from the Georgetown College experience.  FASTSIGNS Louisville developed the wall covering for this project.  The custom wall covering provides a coordinated backdrop for photos of successful Georgetown alumni.

The custom wallcovering was textured, an important feature in this project since it helped cover imperfections on the plaster walls. The FASTSIGNS Louisville team also worked around existing structures in the dorm lobbies, and on the walls and ceilings, to make the giant wall mural cohesive. Everything had to tie together, and it does!

The men's dorm features an orange background with images of successful Georgetown College men, while the women's dorm features a green background with images of successful Georgetown women. Each motif was made to match or compliment the current color of that dorm's interior color scheme. The alumni images are full-color photos mounted to acrylic and installed with stand-off hardware (featured in last month's newsletter).

"Working with Susan and Sam and their staff at FASTSIGNS on various projects is about as easy as it could possibly be," says Allison. "They are creative and willingly seek solutions. I usually throw them challenges, often on relatively short notice, to which they respond in a timely manner. Theirs is definitely a "can do" attitude. And most important of all, they "can do."

Custom graphics and images on interior walls take the look of a business to the next level.  Logos, tag lines and photos can be printed on wallcovering and installed directly onto a variety of wall surfaces.
 

Graphics are designed in cutting-edge software programs that allow for a variety of images to be incorporated and stay crystal-clear.  Customer can use:

• photographs
• logos & tag lines
• intricate patterns
• special fonts
• artwork

In addition, color management capabilities allow for matching existing interior design details.

The Georgetown College Project of the Month example (above) is a great example of digital wallcovering.  Here's another one.

Have you ever been to a paint store to grab some basic white paint? There's no such thing!  There are dozens of shades of "basic" white.  Anyone who works in the printing or paint industry knows that color matching requires talent and a great eye for detail.  Just grab the wrong "white" and see the difference!
 

 That's why FASTSIGNS Louisville uses a state-of-the-art paint mixing system.  This enables us to match colors from

• Pantone colors
• major paint manufacturers
• existing colors when the original color is unknown.

Imagine you have a series of signs and need to have only one replaced, however the colors have faded, or you don't remember the name or number of the original color.  That's where FASTSIGNS Louisville's color matching can help.

Paint matching allows signs to accentuate the interior design, providing an exact color match to trim, countertops or wall covering. And customers can be assured each sign will match every other sign, from the first to the last.That's the kind of quality customers expect from FASTSIGNS Louisville.

This is a great example of a color match! The Community Foundation of Louisville needed signage to match their Junior Achievement display.  What would you call this color?  FASTSIGNS Louisville calls it a perfect match!
