S I G N & D I G I T A L G R A P H I C S • June 2017 • 37 Sifting through the huge design files, our team at Vomela worked diligently to provide proofs of each mural design in a vast array of materials with as quick of a turnaround as possible. With a finite window between the start of the project and the grand opening of the stadium, it was crucial that our team provide mul- tiple proofs of the end product as swiftly as possible. After filtering through a wide range of test materials and finishes, Vomela and the Vikings worked together to select the substrates and materials that would allow the graphics to captivate the attention of fans, while also helping them last for years to come. Ultimately, our teams agreed upon using 3 M Controltac Graphic Film with Comply v3 Adhesive IJ180Cv3 as the base film for the project, paired with 3M Scotchcal Matte Overlaminate 8520. In cases where the murals needed to be backlit, we used 3M Scotchcal Translucent Graphic Film Series 3630. We've had a longstanding relationship with 3M and that helped everyone involved have more Vikings graphics adorn the buffet area of one of the private suites at U.S. Bank Stadium.
