Toronto Photography Festival Utilizes Textured Surface Vinyl

Friday, July 25th, 2008

Supporters of Contact, the Toronto Photography Festival come together to create some outstanding public installations for the largest photography event worldwide.

Beyond Digital Imaging printed the visuals on 3M Scotchcal Graphic Film for Textured Surface. This vinyl is amazing, when it’s heated it can mold itself in the cracks of the wall and be one with the surface.

We are big fans of this material, it has changed the way we think about wall murals. Here’s our post about this vinyl last  year.  We also used this material to wrap 2 four story stairwells at the US Airways Center for the Phoenix Suns.

No wall is safe as long as this vinyl exists.

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Check out the work we donated in this excerpt from NASCAR Angels. This episode featured Angels On Call, a charity organization who helps needy families with home renovation. While they were out renovating a home, unknown to them, we were wrapping their van. Andy Salcido and Will Mejia, our Design Director, ran point on this project and even get a little face time in the clip. Big shout-out to everyone involved and special thanks to NASCAR Angels for letting us get involved! Angels On Call loved their new wrap and it was a rewarding experience to be able to help them out.

Green Cement Trucks Unveil With Hippie Graphics

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Concrete companies are among the nation’s most energy-intensive but are tackling their poor reputation head on with a symbolic move from diesel to natural gas-powered cement mixers.

A fleet of the “green” mixers, wrapped in colourful flower-power designs, took to the streets in Australia yesterday to promote Boral’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint.

Click image above for more pictures!!

bluemedia was a proud sponsor of the radical “remembering the 80s party” last friday night held at the Wrigely Mansion. Our Brand director took some of our favorite 80s icons and made them into totally tubular signage for the event. Awesome images including Poison, Mr. T  and Ms Pacman blended right in with all the acid washed denim and shoulder pads. All the proceeds from the party were donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation…who knew charity work could be so bitchin’?

Milk’s Favorite Cookie

Monday, July 21st, 2008

The traditional dunk of an Oreo cookie into a glass of milk was dramatized with the use of a panoramic elevator in a shopping mall. This attention-grabbing use of new media gave us one more way to show that Oreo is milk’s favorite cookie.

MadMen takes over NYC Subway

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

The New York subway system takes full advantage of their ad space by selling it to AMC to promote the 2nd season of MadMen.

Madmen is a show about advertising based in the 60’s. Being a fan of the AMC series this application of adhesive vinyl brings a smile to my face. It’s undoubtetly the best subway transformation I have ever seen.

Here’s a great opportunity for Bloomingdale’s to capitalize on the promotion. Offering up their window displays to promote the show, with their spin of course using modern fashions from Theory. As Michael Kors showed us last week in his MadMen inspire runway show, cross promotion for this series has set the bar to a whole new level.

Gawker thanks for pointing us here.
