Silo is a new storage facility in Indianapolis that provides the highest level of security for cars, trucks, and motorcycles. They are a first-of-its-kind collector of exotic vehicles in the Indy area offering concierge car storage, conference rooms, and even a luxuriously outfitted bar. Silo caters to the most prestigious car owners and offers a lavish setting for storage and admiration of the automobiles.
The logo design of Silo was provided by Willow Marketing of Indianapolis with the aura of “elite class” in mind. The logo is comprised of bold lettering and an eagle design. The eagle represents authority and leadership while its shield embodies security and refuge. The wings complete the aesthetic and mimic a car emblem.
When it came to material choices of the signage, we knew it had to make an impact. The “SILO” letters are front-lit and back-lit reverse channel letters with the faces being routed silver aluminum with ½” push-thru white acrylic and illuminated with white LEDs. These letters are baffled and back-lit with red LEDs. The eagle is also front-lit and back-lit. The face of the eagle is routed, backed with white polycarbonate and illuminated with white LEDs.
The eagle is baffled and back-lit with red LEDs. The eagle reverse channel logo is painted red. The lettering reading “AUTO CLUB AND CONSERVANCY” are non-illuminated reverse channel letters.
Huston’s graphic design team provided the scaled rendering and material specs for fabrication of the signage. We provided a smooth installation using a 2-man crew with a bucket truck to get the job done.
Huston’s Account Executive, Mike Ford, spearheaded this project and brought it all together beautifully with his communication between the customer, designers, manufacturers, and installers.
