Class and Disruption in the Desert
Palm Springs is a legendary resort destination, known as a playground for nearby Los Angeles' young, rich and famous. So when their Convention and Visitor's Authority wanted to spruce up their lobby who did they call, the local sign shop? Not on your life...they went to the people who don't settle for good enough: Quantum Communications.
We designed a beautiful, one-of-a-kind installed piece featuring a montage of the sights and stars of Palm Springs, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass panels with a note from each of the eight cities of the valley inscribed on them. Now the first thing that visitors to the center see isn't a picture in a frame...it's a unique take on the wonders of Palm Springs and the surrounding valley.
SPRINTER Stairs, Cal State San Marcos
When NCTD came to us with a problem, we came up with a solution so cool they couldn't find a traditional surface to display it on. The new SPRINTER Commuter train (that we helped name and launch as well) was coming on line soon, and NCTD wanted to reach out to Cal State San Marcos students to increase ridership. The problem? They didn't have much money. And college students are pretty inured to most forms of advertising (the average American kid may watch up to 40,000 ads a year!). So what can we do?
Well, we took the billboard off the board and put it on CSUSM's stairs.
