Environmental Graphics for the NY Mets

DateSaturday, January 30, 2010 at 04:01PM

The New York Mets opened Citi Field, their brand-new stadium, in 2009, and the New York-based design firm Two Twelve development a comprehensive program of environmental graphics including wayfinding, signage, and interpretive graphics for the complex. Communication Arts has a few more details.

The fabricator of the tile murals at Citi Field is Winsor Fireform, located in Washington state. Winsor also fabricated the porcelain enamel panels in one of my projects, the Downtown Ann Arbor Historic Exhibit Program which you can see in the Exhibits/Signage section of the design portfolio.

Interestingly, the Jackie Robinson Rotunda is one of the primary parts of the complex, but Robinson played only for the Brooklyn Dodgers, retiring after the 1956 season. The Mets franchise wasn't even created until the early '60s.
