You’ve likely seen us mention NewGround many times before, as they’re one of our favorite collaborators to work with. We’ve been all over the country together. From Texas to Illinois, California to Pennsylvania, and beyond, 12-Point and NewGround go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly every single time.

Given the number of projects we work on together, it’s almost impossible to write about them all. We want to highlight a couple from the past few months and others that we think are worth mentioning again!

Custom Logo Card Display

For this project, we returned to NewGround’s Chicago location (in a large vehicle!) to install a custom logo card display. The entire layout measures an impressive 10’ wide and almost 4’ tall. The larger size was perfect for a large bare wall in their space in The National in the heart of the city.

The cardholders were custom matte black painted 4" x 3 1/2" metal plates. They were folded on the top and bottom to hold the cards.

The frame is a matte black painted metal, and the center panel is a combination of 3/4” thick MDF and premium woodgrain laminate. Designed to hold 147 cards, the display is a great way to advertise all of the past and present clients NewGround has created branded spaces for over the years. Lastly, we completed the design with the vinyl wall slogan: “We Plan, Design, and Build Branded Spaces.”

Inspired by a similar piece in a Starbucks, we collaborated on this display with NewGround for their Chicago offices.

Custom Buffalo Shadow Box

Our next project took us to Lawton, Oklahoma, where we had previously collaborated on branding graphics and dimensional wall displays for Fort Sill Federal Credit Union’s headquarters branch. We brought this stunning buffalo shadow box with us for installation in one of the upstairs offices.

This massive 8’ x 3’ buffalo shadow box was built in our shop and transported to Chicago by our team.

The entire installation is 8’ x 3’ and was built with wood plank panels mounted in a matte gray metal frame. The whitewashed front panel stands out against the colorful background wall. Our team custom made this beautiful piece in our climate-controlled shop before transporting it to Chicago. They always go above and beyond putting our creations together, and this project was no exception.

Our team did a fantastic job (as always) building this beautiful wood plank shadow box.

Personalized Acoustic Wall Panels

We've already featured these acoustic panels but felt they deserved mention as we highlight other projects we’ve worked on together. One project included a colorful set of personalized acoustic wall panels for their St. Louis headquarters. Their creative team also designed an acoustic wall display we fabricated and installed for Education First Federal Credit Union in Beaumont, TX.

Our team used a flatbed cutter to route the dimensional Education First FCU logo into the sound dampening material.

Custom acoustic panels are a functional and aesthetic way to cut down on background noise and echoes. NewGround appreciated the benefits of the panels so much that they brought them into their own office!

We designed the acoustic wall panels with the same colors as previous wall displays for their Chicago location.

We look forward to sharing our next collaborative NewGround project with you soon! If your business could use a splash of color in the form of acoustic displays or a custom shadow box of your own design, give us a call today.
