PROJECT OVERVIEW
Client: Western Governors University — New Orleans, LA
Western Governors University's New Orleans commencement celebration represented a pivotal moment for the institution, coinciding with the launch of their refreshed brand identity. The university needed a production partner who could seamlessly translate their new visual language into memorable physical experiences across two distinct events.
Fatfish designed and executed both the Alumni Celebration and the Commencement Ceremony, each requiring unique approaches while maintaining brand consistency. The outdoor Alumni Celebration created a party environment, while the main ceremony in Smoothie King Arena demanded grand-scale stage design and production capabilities that would honor the graduates' achievements on one of New Orleans' premier stages.
Our team's ability to adapt WGU's new branding across diverse environments and event formats resulted in a cohesive celebration that strengthened alumni connections while providing graduates with a ceremony worthy of their academic accomplishments.
