LODESTAR Corporation backlit signage: We utilized the various elements of the LODESTAR branding and enlarged the graphics for greater impact. The fact that the branding had graphics with a lot of contrast made these backlit displays have punch. The client was very pleased and mentioned that many of the attendees thought the approach was very effective.

Tradeshow promotion: These promotional items were all produced in conjunction with a tradeshow event that revolved around a golf theme. The pre-show mailer had a call to action for attendees to show up at the booth for a free golf lesson that would be videotaped and given to the individual. In addition, a contest was held for people who provided business cards. The winner of the contest would be flown to an exclusive golf resort to play with the pro on his home turf. We utilized the colors of the brand for the tees, had the logo imprinted on golf balls, custom produced a embroidered hat and had a golf towel created.

LODESTAR tabletop signage: This particular signage was produced for an annual conference with a themed event. The graphics were tied into the look and feel of the pre-show mailer that went out to potential attendees. There were six different displays similar to this one positioned throughout the private event. Additional signage for breakout sessions, welcome signage, and dinner/lunch events was produced as well. The client and attendees were very pleased with the visual effect and focused messaging that directed individuals to various displays without confusion.

LODESTAR tradeshow promotion: This particular promotional piece was born out of an existing ad campaign that high-lighted the "20-year track record" of the company. LODESTAR creates billing software for the energy industry so it only made sense to stretch the campaign into an energy drink. The energy drinks proved to be a big hit at the tradeshow as a promotional item and may resurface because of their popularity.
