BE on-stage branding ideas

physical banners

small physical/ hard copy

digital

kick drum

sticker or scrim?

flyers/ menus

a projection?

search in YT for:

BE screen front banner

PA stack banner poster/ scrim

laptop sticker

projector for stage backdrop

PA stack audience monitors

free standing display monitor by drummer (gorilla stand)

free standing exhibition type banner

obstacles

if i change branding, physical products will need to be changed

CONS

CONS

not in central shot for media

having only 1 on one side, may looks odd, may need stereo

PROS

interim solution, if not permanent?

can be placed next to drummer, centre shot 4 media & high up

will need to explore a visual sequence and including the logo ❗

will need a new screen, what size? another 32"? ⁉

to date, problems are:

people leaning onthe banner

banner starts to look dirty & battered, shows on media

can we use the board/perspex solution ❓

needs to fit in a stand

needs to be lit

probably expensive options

projections won't always have a place to project to

PROS

could look great, and make bare walls look fab, great for non-corporate low-production venues - we can transform

compact to transport, weight of QuSB mixer, so good for other team members to carry

clip on lights?

PROS

won't always have use of 3rd party stacks at corp shows

stereo monitors would look amazing

clamped to speaker stands, would be space efficient, wouldn't need more stands

more bulk to transport, 2x flat screens with clamps, laptop to run? (hard to roll out to team)

2 screens wouldn't be the cheapest options, but cheaper than projector potentially

can adapt to changing branding - & can display client graphics if required

could be used in every scenario I think, very flexible

CONS

A single screen banner option means we could potentially use a double screen bag for this & the BE screen

though at mo, the adapter to fix screen to the gorilla stand would not fit in the screen bag

safer than front banner, no damage from audience

digital display doesn't have dirty/ tatty issues that physical banner has

General Thoughts

Digital Setups

Level 1: single display by drummer

Level 2: add to 1, with stereo PA stack monitors, link all 3? Reserve for large gigs - offer as add-on?

projector: needs to be an add-on 'cus:

not suitable for all situations

expensive

client can use to project personal image before our show and after we finish?

go gloss next time

back-lit through right material (mesh?)

another pro for a digital display is that it doubles as lyric screen BU

Surprise PROs

can easily be turned off & on with logo if show is a surprise

easier to wheel the screen stand w/o a front banner into place, though easier to leave lyric screen in situ, and cover with a throw anyway

will it look any good? will a front physical banner with lights look better?

even if drummer is off stage, can leave on stage

even if there is backdrop

even if 3rd party are doing all the other production

or drummers hold lyric screen, and bassists or band leader holds logo screen (me, Cox & BF?)

can be landscape logo as it, but also could be round/ square logo

really needs to be a circle/ square logo instead of rectangle

needs to be lit to look really good

don't really like this, flimsy, though it could go next to drummer and be safer

circle/ square logo better?

could mean the front screen banner board is smaller/ lighter? Could we hang a round logo board around the neck of the screen stand?

would be larger/ more visible as a PA stack banner prob

i.e. where u don't have a wall/screen, or where it conflicts with 3rd party prod

will need laptop to run, or can we plug in a USB stick to a TV screen to run media? 🚩 ❓

if need laptop, then whoever holds backup lyric laptop facility, can double as running the logo screen (the laptop could the be default anyway)

CONS

would have to be lit to look good

would need 2, more stuff, more cleaning

different PA setups maybe a problem

drop down banner that fixes to the actual screen, free flowing, just hangs and blow in the wind, so to speak ❓

so easy... to store, transport, setup

cheap to replace

just big enough to hide the top of the screen stand?

engage logo artist to come up ideas ❗ :
