Big City Signs got the call in early 2020 to look at providing hand painted background murals for sponsor signage. The murals / environmental graphics we painted enhanced the signage and helped create the environment that the brand was looking for.

This is third in a series.

SoFi is the stadium’s main sponsor. The theme of the stadium architecture seems to reflect their “circle” logo. The circle is central to this hand painted graphics design we were called on to produce at a stairwell that accessed a VIP area.

Here’s what went into it.

When we started this hand painted graphics project in August 2020, SoFi Stadium was still under construction.

The wall surfaces are typically a limestone plaster. First step would be to prep and prime it with an alkali-blocking primer, or the paint would be falling off within a year!

Next, we would apply paper patterns and start painting.

On this one, the only sensible way to produce the design was to paint it. Still, it’s a mechanically precise design that would be viewed up close. To look like it should, we would have to put attention into precision with the brushes – no ovals, no oddball shapes, just hundreds of happy circles. Gray shade, blue circle, blue outline circle, repeat. In a fairly small stairwell. With a whole bunch of sign painters… 😁

Painted until we didn’t have anything to paint anymore! Here’s the final result…

You might be thinking about getting this kind of project done, Do you know where to start? I can tell you - contact me, Paul Borne (president of Big City Signs) to find out more.
