It's hard to miss which parking level you are on at The Amp at 1580 Logan in downtown Denver, with these super mega graphics. Keeping it simple with cut vinyl on some bold-painted walls. Additional vinyl bonus shot over at the garage bike room.โ

A clean Donor Recognition display for Colorado Academy's "See it Through" capital campaign, which helped to fund some of the most utilized spaces on campus, including the Leach Center for the Performing Arts. Over 800 families and foundations participated in the donation effort!โ

It's hard not to love an honest, classic neon sign. We created this one to help direct visitors to Colorado Academy's Black Box Theatre, a secondary performance space within the newly-constructed Leach Center for the Performing Arts.โ 
โ 
Exposed glass tube supports mounted to a cut aluminum backer. Neon Nerd Alert: for traditional neon fabrication, the color comes from the type of gas that is pumped into the tube. Neon gas creates the classic red/orange light seen here; while white light is created by using gases such as argon or carbon dioxide. โ 
โ 
Some bonus love to for their neon artistry and to for their design of a completely beautiful building, inside and out!โ

The moss revolution is here! Whether it's bold company mottos and brand features like at Nextworld or decorative interior installations like we did for a downtown consulting firm, biophilia is here to stay. In addition to giving a space a softer, more organic vibe, moss has the added benefits of sound absorption and air filtration, making for healthier work environments.โ 
โ 
Open-channel forms filled with hand-applied moss (collaboration with ) and a product called Pixel by . Just a few of the ways to add a greener touch to your space!โ

Double-post: Part IIโ 
Meticulously-executed reception area with our halo-lit steel logo sign nested perfectly into the space. We especially love how designed architectural lines within the build that reflect the company branding. Subtle details that make all the difference.โ  Bonus shots of the custom forest service-style room signage we developed for the space and some complementing glass graphics.โ

Double post coming in hot ๐Ÿ”ฅโ 
A selection of just some of the sleek, ultra-cool installations over at the new Chevron office. Coming off the elevator, visitors are welcomed with a super-dynamic lobby that incorporates a new, illuminated floor ID graphic on one side and an open-channel moss letter and steel company logo on the other. The separate parts of the logo were differentiated by implementing a combo of brushed and polished steel.

A well-overdue welcome to a new(ish!) member of the Make West team, Mike!โ 
โ 
Mike is our Master Crafter in the shop. When it comes to radical problem-solving, he has the depth and breadth of skills to get the job done. His combination of technical knowledge, high-end millworking skills, and all-around fab and finishing mastery equip him for even our craziest projects, making him a critical component of Make West's craftmanship.โ 
โ 
In his free time, you'll likely find him out on his motorcycle, Colorado camping, cooking something delicious, or working toward finishing his pilot's license!โ

Chotin Group Corporation founder Steven B. Chotin was a lover and collector of fine art with a special affinity for art glass. As was designing their beautiful new headquarters they had the brilliant idea to interpret the Chotin logo as an art glass portal in his honor. โ 
โ 
Coordination is king when incorporating architectural artwork into an active project. Prior to construction of the wall, we provided the contractor with a window frame that included pre-determined mounting points for our circular art glass/steel logo and casing. This allowed the construction team to integrate the frame into the wall as it was built, which helped maintain the project schedule. It also set our team up nicely for success on installation day. โ 
โ 
Lots of fun collaborating with long-time friends on a beautiful feature!โ

Where are you? YOU ARE HEREโ 
โ 
We totally can't get enough of this awesome faux neon lobby sign. So we just kept taking pictures of it, because it is just that awesome. Yup, keep scrolling... more pictures. Think there can't possibly be more? Wrong. It's cool from every angle.โ 
โ 
Beyond its coolness is a good technical story as well. As you can see from all the photos, it is mounted to a poured concrete wall, which presented several challenges. You can't run wires through walls like this without some serious construction modifications, so our fab team built a discreet, slim HDPE cavity behind the whole feature, which houses the wires and all of the mounting hardware. Often times the best solutions are the ones you can't see!โ 
โ 
Now showing at The Amp at 1580 Logan in downtown Denver.โ

Iconic design by .โ  Extra credit to our fab master .

Just when you thought you'd seen the last of our Cotopaxi radness, we are back with one more chapter. Connecting to their outdoor roots and playing off of the distinct style of forest service signage, this collection of company mottos and icons totally sums up the core of the company. Routed solid wood slab with a painted and clear-coated finish. Did we mention how much we love this brand?!โ 
โ 
Go check out the new store on Pearl Street in downtown Boulder. Pick up some gear, and support doing good!โ
