Signage & Environmental Graphics for New Artur Express Headquarters

Posted on September 1, 2020 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure had the pleasure of designing all the signage and environmental graphics for the new Artur Express headquarters in Hazelwood, Missouri. Artur is a longtime client and one of the fastest growing logistics/transportation companies in the United States (recently making Inc. 5000’s Fastest Growing Private Companies for 2020, ranking no. 4,419 with three-year revenue growth of 73%).

Visual Lure designed all the signage and Designery of St. Louis fabricated and installed it. We also designed the vinyl and glass graphics which were installed by Artur’s in-house vinyl team. See all the photos of their new HQ below (photography by Visual Lure).

The Welcome Sign

Since Artur Express is a logistics/transportation company, Visual Lure thought what better way to welcome visitors to their new headquarters than with a Welcome Highway Sign. We came up with this concept and installation direction.

welcome-highway-sign2

…we then carried this theme throughout the building with directional signage – adding a custom Interstate Artur Badge. See more samples below:

The Trailer Wall:

We made one of their main focus/high traffic walls look like one of Artur’s actual semi trailers:

Glass Vinyl Graphics:

The new headquarters has multiple meeting rooms so they named them all after large U.S. cities. For semi-privacy, and identifying the names, we designed vinyl for all the glass walls.

Artur’s new headquarters turned out AWESOME!!!ย  We couldn’t be any happier with how everything came together. It has been amazing watching this company grow and itโ€™s been our pleasure helping them along the way.

Logo Upgrade & Website for Riechers Truck Bodies

Posted on February 12, 2020 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure recently updated RIECHERS TRUCK BODIES’ logo and built them a new custom WordPress Website

Like so many companies, RIECHERS TRUCK BODIES was using multiple versions of a logo, each different. Different fonts, slightly different colors, etc. We cleaned up their existing logo – adjusting the spacing, making it easier to read, removed “& Equipment” allowing more room for “TRUCK BODIES”, and provided multiple options for one color uses.

In addition to the logo update, we also redesigned their mudflaps and the sticker that they add to every build. Everything now ties together better and looks more cohesive.

In addition to design, Visual Lure coordinated and art directed a professional photo shoot with the talented Matt Marcinkowski, a premier St. Louis metro east commercial photographer. Below are a handful of his deliverables.

New Website & Brochure Design for St. Louis Metro East Apartment Complex

Posted on December 3, 2019 by JUSTEN HONG

New Custom WordPress Website

Visual Lure recently launched a new custom WordPress website for Tamarack Woods Apartments, a luxury apartment complex located in Shiloh, Illinois bordering O’Fallon. The complex is extremely well maintained and managed, and is located right next to Target, Dierbergs, tons of restaurants, and both new Memorial and St. Elizabeth’s hospitals. Interstate 64 access is a mile away, and its proximity to Scott Air Force Base make this a highly desired location – plus they offer military and hospital employee discounts.
