A stage isn’t just a backdrop. It’s a visual expression of the event’s purpose.

For the inaugural Spirit of St. Louis Awards, guests saw a contemporary stage framed by metal columns reminiscent of an aircraft’s airframe. Uplighting reflected across the surface, creating a dramatic companion to the aviation-inspired presentation on the 20-foot LED screen.

But it was more than metal and light. The design echoed the spirit of innovation the Lindbergh Foundation created the awards to inspire.

As each recipient took the stage, subtle shifts in color and vibrancy matched the emotion of the moment—helping every presentation feel distinct while remaining part of one cohesive ceremony.

The best event design does not compete for attention. It helps the audience feel what matters.

Shoutout to our own Eric Buettner for continuing to innovate, and to the Lindbergh Foundation team for trusting us with the first-ever Spirit of St. Louis Award presentation.

This was one of the most crucial details of the entire night.

When we collaborated with the team at Lindbergh Foundation to produce the hero design for their inaugural Spirit of St. Louis awards program, we knew it needed to match the vitality and innovative spirit of this great organization.

We are so thrilled with the results of this animation created for the award ceremony. It looked and sounded great on screen, and matched the innovative spirit of this organization and the incredible women that received this prestigious award!

The matches may take place inside a stadium, but that doesn’t mean the millions of soccer fans will be at home watching from their couch.
Cities and businesses all across Mexico, Canada and the United States want fans to do more than just watch the games… they want them to experience them.
And this goes way beyond soccer or sports. For your next event, which likely only has a fraction of your total audience, ask yourself how you can get all the people not attending to feel like they are part of the experience.

A stage isn’t just a backdrop, it’s a visual representation of the event’s purpose.

From their seats, guests saw a contemporary backdrop featuring metal columns reminiscent of an aircraft’s airframe. Uplighting bounced off the surface, creating a dramatic and complementary companion to the aviation-themed presentation shared on a 20’ LED screen.

But it was more than just metal and lights. It was an echo of the innovation that the Lindbergh Foundation aimed to inspire with its inaugural Spirit of St. Louis Awards event.

As the presentation continued, award winners took to stage, while subtle changes in color and vibrancy matched the sentiment of the moment connecting the audience with the emotion behind each award recipient.

As many legendary designers have said before, “great design is never seen, it’s felt”. In live production, details like these transform good moments into remarkable ones – a deliberate part of our design process for every event we produce.

Shoutout to our amazing team member for always innovating, and to the Lindbergh Foundation team for trusting us with the first-ever Spirit of St. Louis award presentation.
