Google Chicago Graphics

Friedman Fine Art is pleased to announce the completion of the graphics program for Google’s new Chicago facility. The project incorporated sculpture, graphic design and fabrication.

Details of the project are illustrated below.

Google's Chicago Skyline Outline
Friedman Fine Art worked with a Chicago metal artist to fabricate
a stylized city skyline out of bent and welded painted steel rods.

Google's Logo and Chicago's Blue Line over the Skyline
The design concept for the project was to create a "TECH STOP".
Similar in look to the Blue Line on Chicago's CTA maps the Tech Stop theme is
tied together by a blue line running through all the interior architectural elements
including the wall covering, glass dividers and floor.
