36 • June 2017 • S I G N & D I G I T A L G R A P H I C S DIGITAL PRINTING AND FINISHING DIGITAL GRAPHICS Thanks to our expertise and history with the Vikings organization, Vomela won the business in the summer of 2015, and immediately began preparations. In total, our company was tasked with the development and production of more than 30 large-scale murals that would be installed throughout U.S. Bank Stadium. Working in the Big Leagues Vomela's overall capabilities and apti- tude for operating at an accelerated pace were traits the Vikings organization val- ued most. They came in handy over the next year, and proved vital to the success of the overall project. Hired as the vendor for graphics applications, Vomela worked closely with designers from California-based Sports & The Arts, to help bring their graph- ics and illustrations to life. Because of the sheer massiveness of the murals, one of the greatest challenges was working with incredibly large file sizes. As with any project however, a successful team rises to meet any challenge. The interiors of many of the elevator com- partments at the new stadium now feature graphics dedicated to the greats from the team's history, including former Vikings head coach Bud Grant and football icon Fran Tarkenton.
