Based on the logo design we created a glass and stainless steel chandelier that provided primary identification of the retail center.
The chandelier is suspended in the 4 story glass entry lobby of the regional shopping center located in Downtown Denver, 16th Street Mall.
Our design task was to create a strong brand identity for the regional shopping center that would form the foundation of the signage and graphic system.
We selected regional flora located in Cook County, Illinois to build our design foundation. These graphic elements were used to create murals used on the site and interior to support the new brand. We also wrapped the existing water tower and repainted it.
