Leadership Institute | Project Spotlight

Heritage Signs & Displays partnered with the Leadership Institute to carry out a multi-phase visual transformation of their headquarters in Arlington, VA. Spanning numerous walls, corridors, and common areas across the facility, this expansive interior graphics project brought together mission-driven messaging, historical storytelling, and branded visual elements to enrich the Leadership Institute’s space from top to bottom.

Translating Purpose into Visual Impact

With a deep commitment to cultivating principled leaders, the Leadership Institute sought to reflect its values throughout its physical environment. Our team provided full-service Design Services and executed the project in phases, ensuring clarity, consistency, and continuity over dozens of custom displays.

Scope and Execution

Over the course of four phases, Heritage produced and installed more than 20 branded wall displays throughout the building. These included:

• Dimensional Lettering for quotes and mission statements, fabricated from black and champagne bronze acrylic
• Acrylic Signs and layered plaque systems using frosted, clear, and printed acrylic panels with standoffs
• Wall Wraps printed to Mojave material and installed in seamless vertical panels for major feature walls
• Contoured figures of historical leaders fabricated from white ACM and mounted with precise offsets
• Brushed aluminum panels, framed poster graphics, and multi-layered displays combining multiple materials and mounting styles

Each installation was tailored to its location and purpose—from high-traffic corridors to executive offices—allowing the Institute to present consistent branding and storytelling throughout its headquarters.

The Result

The final environment is a comprehensive reflection of the Leadership Institute’s mission and identity. From inspirational quotes to educational exhibits, each graphic element reinforces the organization’s core values while enhancing the visitor and employee experience. The result is a space that informs, motivates, and cultivates purpose at every turn.
