Danville High School Wall Graphics Makeover

Introduction

Danville High School saw an opportunity to turn ordinary interior spaces into a stronger expression of school pride.

Before the project, bare hallways, an empty-looking locker room, and a plain entryway did little to reflect the energy of the school’s students, faculty, and programs. Although the facility served its daily purpose, the walls lacked the branding and visual identity needed to create a memorable environment.

Danville partnered with BIGSIGNS to enhance these spaces with custom wall graphics developed around the school’s logos and colors. Using a coordinated combination of ClipGrip™ Wall Graphics, BlockWrap™ Concrete Wall Wrap, and WallSkinPSV™ Hall Graphics, the school transformed previously plain surfaces into engaging branded environments that promote school spirit throughout the facility.

The Challenge

Danville High School’s primary challenge was not the condition of the building itself. It was the lack of visual identity throughout several prominent interior spaces.

Danville wanted a solution that would do more than cover empty walls. The school needed a coordinated branding approach that would:

  • Strengthen school spirit throughout the building

  • Create a more engaging experience for students and faculty

  • Make entrances and hallways feel more intentional

  • Bring school logos and colors into the physical environment

  • Create consistency across different wall types and interior spaces

The BIGSIGNS Solution

BIGSIGNS worked with Danville High School to develop a customized visual system built around the school’s existing logos and colors.

Rather than treating each wall as an isolated project, the graphics were designed to work together as part of one cohesive facility branding strategy. This helped ensure the hallways, locker room, entryway, and other interior spaces all felt connected to the same school identity.

The project incorporated three BIGSIGNS products selected for different surfaces and branding applications.

ClipGrip™ Wall Graphics provided a polished way to introduce branded imagery into key interior locations. BlockWrap™ Concrete Wall Wrap allowed Danville to extend its branding onto concrete surfaces that might otherwise remain plain and difficult to enhance. WallSkinPSV™ Hall Graphics helped transform long hallway walls into highly visible school branding opportunities.

Products Used

The Danville High School facility branding project included:

  • ClipGrip™ Wall Graphics

  • BlockWrap™ Concrete Wall Wrap

  • WallSkinPSV™ Hall Graphics

Each product addressed a different surface or space while contributing to one coordinated school branding system.

Project Highlights

  • High school interior facility branding project

  • Custom graphics developed with school logos and colors

  • Hallway wall graphics

  • Locker room branding enhancements

  • Entryway graphics

  • Concrete wall branding

The Results

Danville High School replaced bare, underused walls with custom graphics that gave the facility a more distinctive identity.

The hallways became more than pathways between classrooms and activity spaces. With WallSkinPSV™ Hall Graphics, they became visible extensions of the Danville brand, surrounding students and faculty with school colors and imagery throughout the day.

The entryway also gained a stronger sense of place. Instead of presenting visitors with a plain interior, the branded environment created a more engaging first impression and immediately connected the building to the school’s identity.

Within the locker room and other program spaces, the new graphics helped create an atmosphere that felt more purposeful and exciting. The updated visuals gave students an environment that better reflected the pride associated with representing their school.

Lessons Learned

Look for Branding Opportunities Throughout the Facility

Schools do not need to limit branding to gymnasiums, stadiums, or competition areas. Entrances, hallways, locker rooms, and common spaces can all contribute to the overall experience.

Danville’s project demonstrates how frequently used interior areas can become meaningful school branding opportunities.

Match the Product to the Wall Surface

Not every wall should be approached in the same way.

Smooth interior walls and textured concrete surfaces may require different graphic products. Evaluating the existing surface before selecting materials helps create a more appropriate solution for each location.

Using ClipGrip™ Wall Graphics, BlockWrap™ Concrete Wall Wrap, and WallSkinPSV™ Hall Graphics allowed Danville to maintain a consistent design across different wall types.

Build Around Existing Brand Elements

A successful school graphics project does not need to introduce an entirely new identity.

Danville used its established logos and colors as the foundation for the design. This made the finished spaces immediately recognizable while reinforcing the school brand students and faculty already knew.

Create One Coordinated Visual System

Individual graphics can improve a wall, but a coordinated strategy can transform an entire facility.

By carrying consistent colors, logos, and visual themes through multiple spaces, schools can create a more professional and unified environment.

Prioritize High-Traffic Areas

Hallways and entryways are seen by students, faculty, families, and visitors every day. Enhancing these areas allows school branding to make a broader impact than graphics placed only inside sport-specific spaces.

Why WallSkinPSV™ Hall Graphics?

Hallways are among the most visible and frequently used areas in a school. They provide extensive wall space that can support branding, recognition, storytelling, and school spirit.

WallSkinPSV™ Hall Graphics help schools turn plain corridors into customized environments that reinforce their identity throughout the day.

Key benefits include:

  • Stronger school branding in high-traffic areas

  • Custom designs featuring school colors and logos

  • A more engaging experience for students and visitors

  • Visual consistency across long interior walls

  • Opportunities to promote pride and program identity

  • A professional alternative to leaving walls bare

Why BlockWrap™ Concrete Wall Wrap?

Concrete walls often present a branding challenge because their texture and appearance can make them difficult to incorporate into a polished interior design.

BlockWrap™ Concrete Wall Wrap helps turn these surfaces into valuable visual assets. It allows schools to continue their branding across concrete walls rather than leaving major sections of the facility unfinished or disconnected from surrounding graphics.

For Danville High School, this made it possible to extend the custom design into additional areas while maintaining the same school colors and visual identity.

Why ClipGrip™ Wall Graphics?

ClipGrip™ Wall Graphics provide another versatile option for displaying custom school branding within interior spaces.

They can help schools create polished feature areas that showcase logos, colors, program imagery, or other branded visuals. Used alongside hall graphics and concrete wall wraps, ClipGrip™ Wall Graphics can contribute to a complete environmental branding system.

For Danville, the combination of multiple products allowed the school to address different spaces without losing visual consistency.
