Wall coverings, gallery wraps, office signs and more; You name it, Vision does it

Putting the precision of medical device manufacturing into graphics

Biomerics is a medical device manufacturer located in the International Center just West of the Salt Lake International Airport. Additionally, Biomerics has 7 other locations across the United States. Vision Graphics recently started providing Biomerics with graphic solutions, and their relationship started much differently than the norm.

Ryan Cox, a sales consultant at Vision Graphics, was sitting in his office when his future client walked in the door. He mentioned that Biomerics was building a new facility and was interested in creating a history wall/timeline of their business. Cox proposed a few different materials which would work for the application, as well as which materials would be most cost effective.

The history wall progressed and eventually turned into a technical, and dimensional masterpiece. Located in the lobby of the new Salt Lake City plant, the graphic stood 40 feet long by 9 feet tall. The entire graphic was multilayered and required a detailed application performed by Vision’s installation team. According to Cox, “The history wall is a multi-layered wall, first it has a textile wall covering. It has 5-6 offset acrylic panels with their history printed. There’s a second surface with photographs and all sorts of stuff. There’s also a middle layer of EPVC between those acrylic panels and the wall covering which gives it a little more dimension. The customer loved it!”

As the history wall was completed, the client started to send more ideas to Vision Graphics to bring to life. The next project that ensued was to create gallery wraps for all of their conference rooms. The theme was Utah National Parks, and to name a couple specifically, Capitol Reef and Zion. The graphic designers at Vision were able to create a cut graphic that the customer loved. In one of the conference rooms, the designers took one image and stretched it across five different walls.

Not only was Vision Graphics able to create custom wall coverings throughout the entire facility, but they provided a variety of other graphic services as well. They printed names signs for all employee offices and cubicles, room signs, and even logo stickers for their equipment cranes. Vision’s vast product portfolio proved to be an effective source for all thing’s graphics within the Biomerics facility.

Cox has since connected with his contact at Biomerics and offered this statement. “My contact there has told me a couple times now that he’s going to rely on us pretty much solely for signage needs. Not only locally but for their other locations because of our responsiveness.”

SBR & Vision Graphics Cover the New Utah State Aggie Rec Center

SBR & Vision Graphics Brings Color to Utah State ARC with Environmental Graphics

New 100,000 sq ft facility opened in November 2015 with beautiful graphic elements on walls, windows and everywhere else.

Utah State recently completed their 105,000 sq ft Aggie Recreation Center (ARC) after 7 years of planning, funding and building. The look and feel of the building were very important to the planners, who spent a great deal of time working on the interior design and environmental graphics.

“We’ve got the state of Utah in a building,” said Chase Ellis, campus recreation director at USU. “Because it looks like you’re coming in a slot canyon on the south entrance … it will take you on a walk through the environment we live in, but then I like that tell people, ‘You’ll be working out in an art studio, versus a gym.’”

To complete such an involved project, Utah State University turned to Vision Graphics, a provider of large and grand format products. Vision Graphics was hired to produce and install all of the graphics.

13,000 sq ft of wall coverings were produced as well as over 2,000 sq ft of window coverings.

According to Gene Chambers, sales executive at Vision Graphics, “13,000 sq ft of wall coverings were produced as well as over 2,000 sq ft of window coverings.” Vision Graphics was also called upon to create, produce and install a custom element, the function of which is to give the feeling of being inside a yurt. This element was placed in the student lounge and offers a unique environmental element.

The installation of the graphics spanned a number of months as the construction of the different areas of the rec center was completed. The process began during the summer months when Vision Graphics was involved in the site surveys to create final measurements for the production-quality graphics.

Printing the Graphics for Vivint Smart Home Arena and the Utah Jazz

SBR/Vision Graphics Brings Color to the Utah Jazz and Vivint Smart Home Arena

Inside and out, SBR/Vision Graphics is the trusted partner of the Utah Jazz for adding visual excitement to Vivint Smart Home Arena

Vision Graphics has finished its annual update of the home of the Utah Jazz, Vivint Smart Home Arena.

By the time fans approach and enter the arena, the experience has already begun. The outer windows of the arena are covered with 5-story graphics depicting the players and the theme for the year. Inside, the arena is full of the team’s colors and imagery, all in an effort to create a feeling of excitement, loyalty and enthusiasm for the home team.

“We do have some of the best players in the league on our team — some of the best athletes in the world,” Barnes said. “We just want to get people pumped up for the games.” – Ben Barnes, art director for Larry H. Miller Sports & Entertainment,

KSL reported on this major update of a Salt Lake City landmark, showing the work that was done to produce the outer window graphics and following through to the installation. Thousands of square feet of window space are updated each year to reflect the look and theme of the team.

The exterior window treatments are only a small part of the overall work. Each year, the interior treatments, including hanging banners in the hallways, floor graphics, column wraps, wayfinding and signage are updated, based on the players, the theme and changes in sponsorship.

This year’s production was significant as the arena sponsor changed from Energy Solutions to Vivint. When a change happens at this level, any visual element with the old sponsor’s branding has to be re-thought, re-designed and usually, replaced.

Few companies throughout the Intermountain West would be able to produce this size and volume of graphics, and Vision Graphics is proud to support the Utah Jazz with vibrant colors and crowd-pleasing graphics and elements.
