How Event Signage Transformed the Seahawks Watch Party at Hickens Hotel
Explore signage solutions for venues, guest spaces and hospitality branding:
When Hickens Hotel hosted the Seattle Seahawks Watch Party in Melbourne, the brief was clear: create a full game-day experience that felt bold, branded and immersive from the moment guests arrived.
Evan Evans helped transform the venue with a complete event signage package, including large-format media walls, printed booth dividers, branded bar decals, floor graphics, posters and outdoor A-frame signage.
The result was a high-impact sports activation built for atmosphere, photos, fan engagement and a strong visual connection across the entire venue.
A Full Venue Takeover for a Sports Watch Party
For this project, the signage needed to do more than decorate the space. It had to guide guests, create photo moments, reinforce the Seattle Seahawks theme and make the venue feel event-ready across multiple touchpoints.
Each area of Hickens Hotel was considered as part of the experience, from the outdoor entry signage to the bar, seating zones, floor decals and backdrop areas inside the venue.
For sports venues, bars, sponsors and event organisers, this type of branded setup shows how event display signage can turn a standard space into a memorable fan experience.

Why the Signage Worked for the Venue
The strongest venue activations feel consistent from entry to exit. For the Seahawks Watch Party, each signage element had a clear role: outdoor signage attracted attention, floor decals helped carry the theme through the venue, and large backdrops created strong photo and social media moments.
The combination of media walls, decals, posters and display signage gave the space a complete game-day atmosphere without relying on one single feature. This is especially useful for sports bars, brand activations, sponsor events and themed corporate functions where the experience needs to feel cohesive.
For similar projects, custom decals, A-frame signs and printed display products can be combined to support wayfinding, branding, promotions and guest engagement.
Media Walls, Decals and Displays Built the Atmosphere
The large printed media walls helped set the tone for the event, creating a strong backdrop for photos, interviews and fan content. These high-impact display areas are ideal when an event needs a clear visual centrepiece.
Across the venue, branded decals extended the theme onto the bar area, DJ booth, walkways and floor surfaces. This helped avoid the common problem of event branding feeling isolated to one wall or one sign.
Outdoor corflute A-frame signage also gave the event visibility before guests entered the venue, making it easier to promote the watch party from the street and reinforce the event details at the point of arrival.
How Evan Evans Supported the Project
Evan Evans produced a coordinated signage package that could work across different surfaces and areas of the venue, including fabric backdrops, decals, printed boards, A-frame inserts and smaller display pieces.
For a project like this, production consistency matters. Colour, finish, scale and placement all need to work together so the final setup feels like one connected experience rather than a mix of separate signs.
