Environmental Graphics & Exterior Colors
About the project:
DYKEMAN was approached by the Snohomish County YMCA with the opportunity to develop a number of concepts and provide a new exterior color palette, as well as signage, for the YMCA’s downtown Everett location. The color scheme was developed to improve the neighborhood visibility and work cohesively with the adjacent buildings, while the entry signage was designed to accent specific areas of the building facade. The architectural banners reinforce the existing YMCA brand of building strong kids, families and communities and were developed for flexibility, easy updating and interchangeability.
DYKEMAN continues to consult on various YMCA branches throughout Snohomish County.
About YMCA:
The YMCA of Snohomish County, organized in 1899 and incorporated in 1901, is now recognized as the largest child care provider and not-for-profit human service agency in Snohomish County. For more than 100 years, the YMCA of Snohomish County has involved top community leaders and highly-trained professional staff to provide hundreds of different programs for people of all ages, especially children, youth and families. Each YMCA facility is a “hub” in the community providing safe environments, caring role models, and meaningful, productive activities. Today more than 64,000 people of all ages, races, faiths and economic backgrounds participate annually in activities at our six branch operations: Everett, Marysville, Mukilteo, Southeast/Silver Firs, Monroe and Big Brothers Big Sisters.
