Columbus Wears Blue: The Blue Jackets Remix Experience

For TENFOLD (TENSPACE), we tattooed Columbus for the Blue Jackets: wheatpaste grids on the walls, blue stencils underfoot, snipes on the poles. The whole job turned around in 24 hours.

  1. Phase 01

    The brief

    TENFOLD (TENSPACE) brought us the Columbus Blue Jackets Remix Experience. We put it on the street in three formats: wheatpaste posters on the walls, sidewalk stencils sprayed in blue on the concrete and snipes on the poles. The rollout runs in three waves.

  2. Phase 02

    The creative

    Four designs ran: "Jackets Blue Looks Good On You Columbus", "614 Brings the Boom", a Blue Jackets pattern sheet and the Remix Experience info poster.

    On the walls we pasted the posters side by side in grids, so the designs alternate across the whole wall. Underfoot, the stencils spell CBJ RMX in blue.

    Wave 1: downtown and out from it

    Wave 1 went up in downtown Columbus, where most of the poster locations are: grids, a stencil and a snipe on E Rich St, snipes along E Main St.

    Our photos follow the run out from there. Grids and snipes climb N High St through the Short North to the University District. Olde Towne East got grids and stencils, Cleveland Ave in Milo-Grogan got grids, and the run reaches Easton and Tremont Rd in Upper Arlington.

    Stinger on N High St

    Stinger, the Blue Jackets mascot, came out for a content shoot at 1112 N High St, in front of one of the Wave 1 grids. The client's content team captured it too. Dublin and Westerville come next, and Stinger comes along for both.

    Photo proof

    Our crew's photos below are dated October 28 and 29. Each caption names the street or neighborhood from the photo's pin on the placement map; frames without a pin just say Columbus. A few stencils read soft in the photos because of the lighting and the camera angle. Open the map for the full spread.
