Did you happen to get downtown while the Super Bowl festivities were going on? One of the most striking sights for us was the proliferation of super-sized large format print and display graphics–from wrapping skyscrapers and buses to the custom wall art that plastered interior surfaces and store walls.
Downtown Phoenix became a showcase gallery for super-sized print during Superbowl weekend.
Hundreds of large format print projects in a variety of mediums appeared
A number of local Phoenix commercial printing companies assisted with many of the amazing large-scale graphic and print projects that really set the tone and led the experience of being downtown in Phoenix during the Superbowl.
Graphic Ideals is proud we were selected for the short list of Superbowl business connect partners, but some of these large format print graphics were definitely bigger than what we usually encounter! (Could you imagine Alice dangling in the air helping with the installation?!)

And this might just be one of the largest color printed custom banners you’ve ever seen.
Rumor has it that hikers in Scottsdale could see the bright pink highlight of this Phoenix skyscraper building wrap.
This large format building wrap required a four-person team 134 hours over 4 nights to install, the final graphic was 60′ x 200′ feet!
Elsewhere throughout the country, a collaborative print campaign by four print shops to bring art to the streets is just “wrapping” up. Modeled after the Art Everywhere UK campaign, American works of art have appeared on buildings, buses and billboards—and also in kiosks and bus stops and anywhere else art could be installed for viewing from the street. Both dynamic signage and digital print included vehicle wraps, bus shelters and wallscapes, and reached millions of people each day.
