About the Project
Plug Power‘s innovation center ‘gigafactory’ in Henrietta, New York, a suburb of Rochester, is now adorned with the company’s new brand logo that was revealed in Q2 2022.
Together with e3 corporate solutions in Albany, ID Signsystems was contracted by Plug to roll the new brand onto the exterior of the 200,000-square-foot factory.
In a series of 3D renderings and photo montages, IDS confirmed e3’s design intent of the two sign pieces — a reverse-illuminated channel letter sign for the building and a solar-powered monument sign — to depict life-like visualization.
Carefully coordinated with the Plug facilities team, the project involved a complicated permit process but was completed and installed to meet the 9-month project timeline.
With our expertise in solar-powered signage, we delivered an illuminated corporate sign solution that will become operationally cost-free within 18-24 months.
