Special events should be treated as once-in-a-lifetime moments. Opportunities to pause reality and step into something extraordinary. When you fully embrace a theme and curate an immersive experience, you create more than just an event—you create a world with a vibe everyone can take with them. A huge part of that magic comes through cohesive graphics—invites, thank-you notes, TV screens, menus, logos, and every visual touchpoint that sets the tone. Each element works together to tell a story, allowing guests to step outside of time and into a complete fantasy—an experience they can look back on and relive again and again.

This event specifically was a Series Wrap Party. The team kept joking that it felt like graduating high school so we made the final Wrap Party into a Senior Prom! I made everything fully black and gold so the event felt expensive and high end. For a final gift, we made a yearbook that highlighted the 13 years of production with photographs spanning back to 2013. As people exited, we passed out notes (like high school) with top secret info about the after party location.

I took the production logo, which is red, orange, blue, yellow, and white - colors for a preschool show - and transformed it to a fully gold plated design to match the theme.
We created this "Axle City High" logo to be the main logo of the Prom Event. We plated it in gold to match the theme.
The original invite was more colorful, but still kept the gold and black feel.
As people entered the building, the screens had college font lettering and gold plating to introduce them to the Prom!
In the main room, black and gold balloons arches around the doors and as you can see, the screens featured the gold logo, with a nice shimmer of sparkles falling behind it.
The reminder emails continued the college gold plated font and sparkles along with the characters from the show dressed to impress in black and gold prom attire!

We also had a Prom Queen performance, with a matching screen design.
As people exited, the screens had the attached image to simulate a note you would pass in high school (in the style of Mean Girls) telling people where the after party was being held.

For people who did not attend, we sent a follow up email with gift pick-up directions. I changed the imagery to a blue tone for this to match graduation instead of prom, since The Prom had already ended!
