SPORTING KC HEADQUARTERS SIGNAGE

BRANDING EXECUTIVE SPACES

Sporting KC

CHALLENGE

Sporting Kansas City, a professional soccer team, was moving to a new corporate office space due to the team’s success and growth. While the new location provided room for nearly 100 employees, it was lacking in branding and team spirit. Sporting KC approached GSP’s Kansas City team for help with bringing the “one-size fits many” office space to life. Areas included conference rooms, offices and common areas. Offices required adjustments to improve privacy. And of course, there was a budget.

SOLUTION

GSP visited the site before Sporting KC moved in and worked with the soccer team to understand the brand and how its visual elements could be deployed in the workspace. The environment needed to convey a sense of professionalism and team spirit.

  • Office spaces: Frosted swaths establish privacy for offices to reduce distractions but still maintain visibility.
  • Conference rooms: Frosted film mounted on the outside glass surfaces, with one room featuring a full-size mural.
  • Main area: The open floor plan features 360 degree graphics on the walls leading up to the a hallway with a patterned grid, printed on 3M 180c. Additional 3D elements include soccer balls, shoes, awards and more.
    Additional SEG graphics are featured throughout the office spaces.

Our Brand Story

GSP started as a printing company in1978. We found our niche supplying in-store signage for convenience stores when retailers guessed quantities they needed. This led to overage, waste and expense. To solve this, we developed software to guarantee on-time delivery of “the right size sign, to the right store, every time.”

In 2014, we started AccuStore with a dedicated team. As software helped drive our growth, we realized that new printing and fulfillment sites near customers could drive business and improve sustainability. We acquired companies that fit GSP’s technical excellence and superior customer service models.

First was Great Big Pictures in Madison, WI in 2015. They lead the field in large format printing and visual merchandising for iconic fashion retailers. Their standards for customer service include award-winning sustainability programs, and expertise to bolster retail environments services.

In 2020, GSP acquired Custom Color in Lenexa, KS. The company supplies printed graphics to leading retailers. Custom Color’s stellar quality in fabric printing also aligns with GSP’s values.
