From the Nominator

We created a unique suite of materials as well as supporting graphics to celebrate this historic milestone at Exeter. The suite included a logo design; a pattern design based on interior elements of the building; a letterpress invitation; and a presentation package that was given to attendees of the main gala event, including donors, trustees, alumni, faculty and staff. This one-of-a-kind presentation folder housed the program of events, lanyards, nametags, a brochure about the building, an informational sheet, the mainstage performance program and a dedication ceremony program for a community celebration.
