Graphic Impact is proud to have played a role in transforming the Men’s Football Locker Room at the University of Arizona (UArizona) with stunning custom backlit signs. These illuminated graphics not only enhance the environment but also serve as powerful visual statements that energize players and celebrate team pride.

A Bold Visual Statement

Backlit signs are a game-changer when it comes to making a bold impression. Whether highlighting a brand, showcasing a motivational quote, or defining a space with style, backlit signage creates a dramatic effect that grabs attention and never goes unnoticed. In the case of the UArizona football program, these signs now serve as both an inspirational element and a functional branding tool within the newly renovated locker room.

Why Backlit Signs?

Backlit signage is one of the most effective tools in visual communication. Here’s why:

• High Visibility: Illuminated signs are easy to read and visually appealing in both bright and dimly lit environments.
• Professional Aesthetic: Backlighting gives signage a sleek, modern look that elevates the perceived quality of the space.
• Durability: Our signage is built with quality materials designed to withstand years of use in high-traffic areas.
• Customizability: Every sign we design can be tailored to match your colors, fonts, imagery, and messaging.

Partnering with the University of Arizona

For more than 30 years, Graphic Impact has worked alongside the University of Arizona on countless signage and branding projects. This long-standing relationship has allowed us to provide consistent quality and innovation that aligns with the university’s evolving vision. The Men’s Football Locker Room was an especially exciting opportunity to showcase our capabilities in illuminated signage.

The finished product includes strategically placed backlit signs that highlight key themes and slogans central to the UArizona football program. These visuals help foster a sense of pride, unity, and determination among the athletes and staff. Whether viewed by recruits, players, or guests, the signage reflects the professionalism and high standards of the university’s athletic program.

Designing for Athletic Environments

Locker rooms are more than just spaces for changing—they’re where preparation meets inspiration. That’s why design and functionality must go hand in hand. Our team took special care to ensure that the backlit signs integrated seamlessly into the locker room’s architecture and lighting plan.

We used high-resolution printing on specialized translucent materials to ensure vibrant, crisp visuals. Paired with energy-efficient LED lighting systems, the result is a clean, evenly lit surface that enhances the artwork and messaging day or night.

The Impact of Lighting in Sports Design

Lighting plays a crucial role in mood and performance, especially in high-energy environments like athletic facilities. Properly executed lighting can evoke emotion, improve focus, and elevate motivation. In the case of the Arizona Football Locker Room, the backlit signs help define the character of the space—bold, powerful, and united under one Wildcat banner.
