TURNING ICONS INTO EXPERIENCES
The DRIPBaR's Journey from Brand Mark to Immersive Portal
Creating a Brand Portal
The DRIPBaR needed more than signage—they needed a brand portal that could transport customers the moment they walked through the door. Their challenge: transform their iconic "Drip" mark into a three-dimensional experience that delivered replicable wow factor across a growing franchise network.
But replicability comes with constraints. The solution needed to adapt to varying brick-and-mortar circumstances while maintaining budget friendliness. No small feat in an era of supply chain volatility and inflation pressures.
Our Product Development team partnered with The DRIPBaR's corporate office through multiple design iterations, exploring how gradations of light, dimension, and scale could create an immersive experience that remained nimble enough for diverse installation scenarios.
Museum-Grade Composition Meets Scalable Manufacturing
The solution extends beyond the illuminated droplet itself. Dimensional mirror fragments and digitally printed acrylic mosaic pieces integrate into a branded vinyl wall mural, catching and reflecting the sign's ambient light while keeping installation hardware elegantly concealed.
To earn its spot in every location and every franchisee's heart, all that visual impact needed to hit a reasonable price point. Our team designed the Illuminated Droplet using reliably sourced materials—acrylic, PVC, LEDs—that skilled hands could swiftly assemble in-house.
The result balances artistry with pragmatism: stunning visual impact through systematic production processes that keep costs predictable and quality consistent coast to coast.
“Northeast Color did an amazing job turning a concept into a reality! I can't say enough how much I LOVE our Droplet. Thank you!”
— Shannon Petteruti, Founder, The DRIPBaR
