results

How can hidden assets be highlighted? Through vibrant, in-your-face graphic design. At the request of The Ohio State University Athletic Department, Graff Designs reworked ho-hum white walls into a powerful showcase of the university’s heralded athletic programs and accomplishments.

A series of varsity panels and program timelines feature Ohio State’s unrivaled century of athletic prowess, while archival photos immortalize OSU’s greatest—Jesse Owens, Jack Nicklaus, Woody Hayes. The oversized murals pack incredible punch and provide increased opportunity to grow public awareness, corporate sponsorship and lucrative alumni pride at OSU.

At Graff Designs, that’s what we call maximizing bang for the “Bucks”!

The Ohio State Buckeyes cinched the 2002 National College Football Championship following completion of this project. Did Graff Designs once again motivate a client to reach new heights with our innovative design? Go Buckeyes!
