Heritage Signs & Displays recently installed a new timeline wall display in the York County Sheriff’s Office to celebrate centuries of service and history in conjunction with a major interior update to their facility. Heritage was tasked with updating the York County Sheriff’s Office wall with new branding to highlight the history of the organization. Upon hearing the request, we were more than happy to assist the York County Sheriff’s Office in this endeavor.
A Rejuvenated Wall of Remembrance and a Straightforward Installation Process
The history of the York County Sheriff’s Office is long and involved, which required a large wall wrap for the hallway that leads to the main meeting room, where press conferences are regularly conducted for local TV news in surrounding communities such as Rock Hill and Fort Mill. The Heritage team conducted the initial walkthrough and site survey of the space to give an accurate proposal for the finished signage. The Heritage team was able to make the process straightforward, simple, and transparent.
The idea for the timeline started off with a wall wrap, but eventually, the project scope expanded with the inclusion of dimensional lettering to accentuate the individuals and events in the history of the York County Sheriff’s Office. The lettering gave a three-dimensional effect that allowed the events and individuals to be highlighted most effectively. The additional materials involved in the installation included a combination of brushed silver lettering, gull wall wraps, and acrylicstand-off plaques. In total, the timeline wall is 60 feet long, with photos and events as far back as 1786.
A Legacy Preserved and a Promising Future
Once the Heritage team finished installing the timeline wall wrap and dimensional lettering, Major Hudgins and the officers at the York County Sheriff’s Office were overjoyed with the work that we did. Heritage Signs & Displays has a well-earned reputation for interior transformations and the officers at the York County Sheriff’s Office are only some of the satisfied clients who have not only been overjoyed with the results of our work but are eager to work with us in the future.

Heritage Lends a Hand in Transforming the Charlotte Douglas International Airport
Heritage Signs & Displays created and installed new window graphics and other indoor signage for the Charlotte Douglas International Airport for their Destination CLT initiative. Representatives at Charlotte Douglas International Airport reached out to our talented sign installation team to complete the rebranding of their space. We have worked with the Charlotte Douglas International Airport in the past and we were blessed to work with such an outstanding client again.
Since 1936, the Charlotte Douglas International Airport has grown from a small, regional airport into one of the largest and busiest airports in the United States and the world. It proudly serves the people of Charlotte, NC with timely, efficient domestic and international air travel.
In 2015, the Charlotte Douglas International Airport started its Destination CLT initiative, which involved an overhaul of many parts of the airport’s interior and exterior to accommodate expansions that were taking place over the next few years. The initiative involved remodeling and updating the airport’s terminal lobby, the arrivals and check-in areas, public art in the airport, and the food and beverage areas.
A Large-Scale Remodel Inside and Out
Throughout the expansion plan, the Heritage team worked very closely with the Charlotte Douglas International Airport marketing team to ensure that the signage that we created was effective and visually appealing. The scope of the project would be large, given that the inside and the outside of the airport would need to be expanded. But our team consulted with Obregon closely during the whole process to make the redesign the best it could be.
The installation team used a myriad of materials to handle the scope of the airport remodeling in the interior and exterior of the space. For the redesigned parking garage, we used window perforated film to make the announcement of the revitalization pop while allowing people on the inside of the parking garage to see out of the windows. We used vinyl floor graphics for the COVID social distancing floor graphics and fleet graphics for the branded airport busses, which we have changed out periodically since then. We created mesh banners and temporary monument signage cover-ups. We also did custom-painted road signage leading into the parking deck.
A Transformed Charlotte Douglas International Airport and a Satisfied Client
The work that the Heritage team did for the Charlotte Douglas International Airport allowed for the Destination CLT initiative to come to fruition. The window perf of the parking garage, the revitalized lobby, and the outdoor signage positioned the brand most effectively. The marketing representatives in charge of Destination CLT were thrilled with the results.
But even more importantly, the work our team did for our amazing clients allowed for the legacy of the Charlotte Douglas International Airport to be celebrated in a way that did justice to the rich history of the airport and its decades of faithfully serving the Southeast. This wasn’t our first time working with the Charlotte Douglas International Airport and it wouldn’t be the last.

How Custom Window Graphics Can Help Your Business Stand Out
Searching for a cost-effective way to increase brand awareness and attract customers to your storefront? Look no further than engaging window graphics to entice new customers to your business.
A window graphic is an easy way to spruce up your business’ exterior and stand out from the competition. By providing potential customers with key details about your product or service at a glance, you may spark their curiosity, encouraging them to enter your store.
Continue reading to learn more about the countless benefits window graphics can provide to your business, as well as examples to inspire eye-catching window graphics for your brand.
What are Window Graphics?
Window graphics are custom printed stickers, decals, or clings made from adhesive vinyl that feature your choice of branded imagery. By displaying graphics on the windows of your business exterior, you can enjoy enhanced branding that provides recognition, the ability to communicate the value your business brings to your customers, and additional distinctive visual interest that draws attention to your storefront.
4 Ways Window Graphics Benefit Your Brand
1. Strengthens Your Branding
Window graphics strengthen your branding by giving you the ability to control what visitors see when passing your storefront. Provide these potential customers or clients with a design, image, or logo that tells a story and catches their attention, therefore, creating a memorable impression of your store. That way, when a need arises for your product or service, your business will immediately come to mind!
2. Engages and Informs Customers
Window graphics are an innovative way to maximize your messaging and tell your audience exactly what your brand is all about. You can utilize your storefront windows to display pertinent information about your product offerings and special promotions, along with your company values, mission statement, and so on to foster connection and trust with your customers.
Looking for an accessible way to inform potential customers with key information about your business? Window graphics can showcase essential details such as hours of operation, company phone number and website, parking directions, etc. These simple details can make all the difference when it comes to leaving new customers with a great first impression, eventually encouraging them to do business with you again.
3. Adds Privacy and Saves Energy
Not every aspect of your business needs to be exposed to the public. Depending on your business, you may want some degree of privacy for your employees and clients. Our perforated vinyl window graphics are able to provide concealment to certain rooms or areas of your business or office without sacrificing the natural light and visibility that the window itself provides. These are perfect for storefronts, conference rooms, and offices since you can see through on one side but not the other, thus providing both privacy and full visibility to look outside of the room you are in. This can be especially helpful for businesses such as medical offices and banks, where patrons and employees may be more comfortable with additional privacy.
In addition to providing privacy, window graphics also save energy by blocking the sun’s rays and keeping interior spaces cool, thus saving you money on energy bills!
4. Easy Installation and Personalization to Suit Your Brand
Since we custom design every window graphic to suit your needs, we are able to create a graphic unique to the size of your windows that achieves your brand goals and suits your preferences, down to the coating and finish you prefer. You can also choose whether your window graphic is permanent or temporary, giving you the ability to change it up based on the season or promotions you are running.
Here at Heritage Printing, Signs & Displays, we use large-scale vinyl printing technology and our tight-knit expert teams make installation look easy! For every product, we work in-depth with our clients to make sure the product matches their vision before sending it out.
Window Graphics by Business Type
Any business can benefit from the use of window graphics to promote their product or service! Below are some examples of particular business types that should take advantage of window graphics, including several ideas on what to feature on the window.
1. Restaurants
Potential customers will want to know a little bit about your restaurant before entering. Utilize your windows to display photos of the food you serve, as well as a short description of the menu. Promoting a special combo meal? Entice customers by displaying the deal on your windows. You can even add a QR code that directs users to your menu so potential customers can simply approach the window, scan the code with their smartphone, and review it before entering!
2. Clothing Boutiques
There are numerous boutiques around the Charlotte area, so it is important to set yourself apart from the competition. Window graphics are a great way to do just that! Give potential customers a sneak peak of the styles they will find in your store.
3. Automotive Dealerships
Large windows are the perfect place to showcase your product offerings! At auto dealerships, we recommend displaying large-scale photos of the latest model so potential customers driving by can check out the sleek designs of your current inventory. Temporary window graphics are also an eye-catching way to display promotions, sales, and special offers.
4. Banks and Financial Institutions
As mentioned above, bank patrons may desire privacy when managing their finances. Graphics displayed on bank windows provide a sense of anonymity and double as a convenient way to display any specials your bank is offering such as refinancing options, low interest, etc.
5. Medical Clinics and Hospitals
Many people are nervous when entering medical clinics, hospitals, and doctor’s offices. A positive or heartwarming graphic can help calm patients so that they are more confident going into their appointment, while also providing privacy to patients and staff members.
