Going the Extra Mile

Going the Extra Mile

Reliance Partners Environmental Graphics

Reliance Partners helps provide trucking insurance for freight companies – whether they have just one truck or as many as a thousand. The company’s philosophy of going the extra mile for their customers is paying off in dividends and Reliance is growing. So much so that the company has moved into a much larger facility, building out a couple floors to make room for all their employees.

The architects and interior designers at Franklin Architects tapped us to create interior and environmental graphics to bring the Reliance brand to life in the new space. Working closely with COO Laura Ann Howell, our team created signs, window treatments, break room graphics, and “instagram-able scenes” throughout the office.

The end result goes the extra mile to reinforce the Reliance brand in the contemporary professional setting, while adding dynamic visuals to the decor.

Core Values

Communication tools for Grain Craft

Grain Craft has combined the personal service and dependability of three great flour millers into the nation’s largest independent flour milling company. Cereal Food Processors, Milner Milling and PFM united under the Grain Craft name, bringing together three respected companies with rich milling histories dating as far back as 1899. 

Although their backgrounds and regions vary, each company shares core values about how to service your needs and how to conduct business the right way. Today, these core values form the very foundation of Grain Craft.

Since Grain Craft was just officially formed in 2014, the company has only recently started to develop a corporate culture to connect the three previously separate companies. Widgets & Stone worked with Grain Craft’s HR department create graphics to communicate these values to employees – through signs, murals, displays, wearables and online assets.
