DDI Signs® Contributes to Kettler Capitals Iceplex Rebranding Graphics (Press Release PDF) >

Virginia based DDI Signs®, a leader in providing innovative and original signage solutions to the Ice Rink Industry was contracted to help The Washington Capitals NHL Hockey Team complete the beautification and rebranding of there new practice rink and corporate offices in Arlington Virginia.
The largest part of the project was completed in time for the unveiling of the Capitals new logo. “Prepping and Installation of the large window graphic took our two man crew two days to complete. We are very pleased to have the opportunity to provide these enhancements to the Capitals new rink,” said Keith Newsome owner of DDI Signs.
The 27’ x 54’ foot window graphic was digitally printed on a new vinyl product that is designed specifically for use on exterior glass windows. The graphics were hand die cut for this custom installation.
George Parr, Senior Director of Operations for The Washington Capitals said, “It’s very satisfying to deal directly with a sign professional such as Keith who is very ‘hands on’ versus an account rep who doesn’t have his depth of knowledge and experience. In addition Keith’s pricing is always competitive and I can count on him to get the job done right.”
