We just wrapped up an “extreme image makeover” for the Trans-Pecos/El Paso Regional Center for Innovation and Commercialization.
Now they’re named “Innovate El Paso.”
Innovate El Paso helps inventors take their new products to market. Eli Velasquez, executive director, needed to rebrand his organization to better connect with inventors, venture capitalists and other stakeholders. That’s when GhostLight went to work:
1. “Innovate El Paso” is simpler.
2. “Big help for big ideas” – This new tag is, essentially, the mission statement.
3. “innovateelpaso.org” – A more interactive and accessible website.
4. Business Cards – Bright and friendly, these cards have gotten great feedback!
5. Fliers, posters – Engaging, informative stories of historic inventors help promote Innovate’s events in print and online.
6. A new office space – Innovate’s “ground zero” has a whole new look to inspire dreaming, planning and action!
Detail about our work on Innovate El Paso’s new office space is below. Enjoy!

We layered frosted vinyl on the outside of the conference room’s glass door…

…so the Innovate staff could use the inside glass for dry-erase notes.

We recommended a bright wall color and highlighted some historically-significant innovators and inventions with wall frames. The tradition of world-changing innovation is the central theme here.

We took advantage of an abundant natural light wash on a plain white wall, and converted it…

…to a feature wall, complete with our very own Downtown El Paso collage.

The white 3D lettering is to help Innovate’s staff stay focused on their mission. White on white is very clean and recalls a “blank slate.”
