Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, Florida has a new traveling exhibit making its temporary home there. So, they needed to get the word out. Since the indoor and outdoor spaces they needed to announce the exhibit are vast, they came back to Premier Signs of Tampa to fill the spaces. The indoor lobby has exceptionally high walls, so fabric banners were in order. Jewelry as an artform is the focus of the exhibit, so beautiful printed images and text don the banners that hang from the ceilings. More images of jewelry pieces are displayed on large outdoor vinyl printed banners spanning both the museum’s walls on the front and side.
The interior fabric banners hanging from the ceiling give the lobby area a beautiful artistic flow. The renderings of prime exhibit pieces, and their descriptions, fill the upper half of the rooms, with a larger than life display that gently sways. Thanks to the use of weighted bottoms, the banners hang straight allowing for optimal viewing. Using black backgrounds for the indoor and outdoor banners really set off the “pearl” and metallic finishes of the jewelry. The metallic color scheme, also used in parts of the text, mirrors the quality and priceless value of the jewelry pieces, not only for their gold and gems but for their artistic craftsmanship.
Representing fine pieces of jewelry with quality signs is a must for the museum. This is why the MFA in St Petersburg is a repeat customer of Premier Signs of Tampa. Entrusting this very important task each time there is a new exhibit is a part of a valued relationship. Each side of the relationship wins. All previous measurements, material preferences, city codes, budgets, and contact information from earlier installations make it easier for both sides. When there is a new signage request, the process can be streamlined and the focus can be put on any new concerns or sign ideas sooner.
Banners, in general, are a cost effective solution, not just for large spaces, but for many situations. Since they can vary in size, they can be easily mobile and can be transported with you for a sporting event or trade show. They can also be installed as part of a more permanent situation on an exterior wall, railing or fence, but can be easily changed out season to season. Options abound with banners displaying full color depictions of team mascots, bold words of encouragement, signs for a grand opening, community events or a even a property for sale. Made to weather the outside elements, vinyl banners can be large and welcoming at a distance or from the street. This is one reason the MFA attaches them to their exterior walls for each of their new exhibits. Outdoor banners that are installed between two poles, for an inground sign, gives you different height options from ground level on up. This flexible ability to display your sign at differing heights really becomes important when dealing with the many city sign codes that vary throughout the state.
