Case Study: Illi­nois Tool Works

Illi­nois Tool Works was found­ed more than 100 years ago, and has become one of the world’s lead­ing diver­si­fied man­u­fac­tur­ers of spe­cial­ized indus­tri­al equip­ment. Lat­i­tude pro­vid­ed mul­ti­ple brand and space iden­ti­fi­ca­tion sig­nage projects on this new campus. 

Illi­nois Tool Works (ITW) was found­ed more than 100 years ago, and has become one of the world’s lead­ing diver­si­fied man­u­fac­tur­ers of spe­cial­ized indus­tri­al equip­ment, con­sum­ables, and relat­ed ser­vice busi­ness­es. ITW has com­pa­ny oper­a­tions in 57 coun­tries, in near­ly every cor­ner of the globe. In 2015, ITW moved their head­quar­ters to a new cor­po­rate campus.

Lat­i­tude pro­vid­ed mul­ti­ple brand and space iden­ti­fi­ca­tion sig­nage projects on this new cam­pus. Most brand sig­nage fea­tured cus­tom, high­ly detailed images requir­ing pre­cise detail to spec­i­fi­ca­tion and rigid fab­ri­ca­tion stan­dards. Each sign project enhanced the par­tic­u­lar envi­ron­ment through col­or, imagery, con­tent or dra­mat­ic effect.

The entire scope was based around an aggres­sive approach and sharp focus to their brand identity.
