A significant portion of the Caterpillar exhibit’s marquee signage and accompanying machine specification stands required multilingual execution (English and German) to meet the needs of the high traffic European show. This effort ensured clear communication, consistent branding, and an accessible experience for the international attendee.
For a sense of scale, the Caterpillar exhibit occupied an area comparable to an NHL hockey arena at Messe München in Munich, Germany. In my role on this extensive initiative, I contributed as part of the Ironworks team responsible for designing the Caterpillar engine exhibit, the multilingual main stage overhead signage, the machine spec stands, the CAT tools silhouette exhibit, the three dimensional signage, and the digital and outdoor wayfinding systems. This comprehensive effort demonstrated the breadth of Ironworks’ design capabilities and the precision required to execute a showcase of this magnitude.
