Sign and wayfinding packages were the primary design focus at Cima. During my time there, Topgolf, Rite Aid, and Aamaco were my primary clients, but I also was selected to design the Liberty Lounge for the Philadelphia Phillies and created custom graphics to land the new Cabela's account.

RITE AID
Project Managers: Mark Lockett, Greg Wagner
Designers: Wayne Agnew, Mike Berhle, Kim Gravalis
Locations: Pennsylvania and New Jersey Locations
Date: 6.2020 – 2.2021
My primary client, Rite Aid wanted a redesign of their store based on the new branding guidlines they incorporated in 2019. The specifications included the standard channel letter, pylon, and wayfinding signs, in addition to paint packages for the exteriors.
There were many challenging aspects to these designs. The survey were difficult to understand occasionally, as a project this large had many surveyors working across different states. Sometimes the descriptions and measurements they recorded on site would make a doctor flummoxed. Regardless, these small problems were easily solved by communication, and the experience of working with the surveyors, installers, and project managers was rewarding.
TOPGOLF
Project Managers: Mark Lockett, Dustin Bowman
Designers: Wayne Agnew, Bob Esser, Chris Carter
Locations: Augusta, San Jose, Philadelphia
* Selected to design Topgolf Sign Catalog
Creating a vibrant and engaging atmosphere is a must for experiential entertainment venues to compete with the growing in-home entertainment industry. With exceptional customer experience as the driving force, Cima helped Topgolf develop standards and consistency in the branding of their facilities, and a custom solution to easily communicate guest needs.
Exterior, Interior, and wayfinding signs were all included in Topgolf sign packages. From eighteen foot channel letters to parking signs, designers had to use architect information and marketing data to create environmental graphics for an array of situations.
