Arsenal Football Club's new museum was unveiled in October 2006 and is providing Gunner's fans with a chance to marvel at legendary artefacts and find out more about the club. The museum is sited at the North London club's impressive new 60,000 capacity Emirates Stadium and Arsenal supporters from around the world can relive some of the famous club's achievements through the many displays and artefacts on show.
The Club needed the highest quality achievable in a graphics system that could be easily and quickly changed as new players are introduced or the Club has fresh successes. We used a successful blend of cutting edge digital technology and traditional screen printing techniques to produce the graphics for the museum and visitor centre.
The mainstay of the campaign was SLAB, Lambda photo-digital prints wrap mounted and laminated to ZF MDF. We also produced GLOW light box graphics to stunning effect, along with a significant amount of IMPRESS digital wall paper.
The really unique element of the project was in its use of on-site screen printing technology, SCREEN DIRECT. Our screen print team visited site for two days and applied permanent graphics to concrete columns and blocks using our unique screening techniques. One of the graphic panels features an illustration of manager Arsene Wenger's head made up of the results from the 49 unbeaten games, screen printed onto a steel panel and installed by our own installation team.
The result - durable graphics that inherited the very fabric of the building.
