There’s a certain beauty in all the unfinished raw materials that eventually come together to form one sign type or another. So, this Friday, take a moment to appreciate things left unfinished—at least for now! #DCLbuilt #rawmaterial #aluminum #inprogress #design

Happy Veteran’s Day. Our thanks to all who have served.

Some interesting wallcovering samples are being reviewed in the graphics department! Acquiring samples is a vital step in the development of any project, as it allows designers to see their vision at scale for the first time. This partial full-sized test helps designers envision what the final design might look like. Can you extrapolate what the overall design could be based on these images? #DCLbuilt #illusion #EGD #wallcovering #graphics #design?

Whether it’s a large installation or a small feature, the quality and precision of each element make all the difference. It's the little things that truly elevate the overall design and create a lasting impression! These brass letters, featuring a stunning # 6 horizontal grain finish, are a perfect example of how important details are, no matter the size of the project. ? #DCLbuilt #brass #dimensionalletters #signage #design?

Wrapping up Halloween!

The big vote is almost here… for the DCL Halloween Painted Pumpkin contest of course. The ballots are being counted, and we will find out the winner today!

I heart KC! I was enjoying a terrific BBQ lunch in Kansas City’s Power & Light District (which is such a cool development), when all of a sudden what do I behold right across the street, but the T-Mobile Center! We engineered, built, and installed these fun designs by Populous a few years ago. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get inside to get some shots of the “floating T logo”, but even in the middle of a random weekday in October, I was able to see people enjoying the giant heart KC letters out front. (Shout out to my new friends Heather and Sue from New Zealand!). This must be such a great venue and area to take in a concert. I also got to catch a fantastic KC SEGD Chapter joint event with the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA). It was fantastic! The energy and excitement in KC right now is undeniable!

The Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha Nebraska is open again following a two-year period of construction and renovation. During this time, DCL produced updated wayfinding and ADA signage for the Art Museum’s expanded art collection, added gardens, revised donors, and reimagined amenities.
