DAY #48: Split Flap for Inspirational Quotes

Another great feature of a modern Split Flap is posting inspirational quotes. Spaces that range from coffee shops to retailers to offices love to use inspirational quotes as evergreen content. Inspired by the likes of Dr. Seuss, Gandhi, and Maya Angelou, some of the most popular quotes loved by visitors and guests are even more impactful on a large-scale Split Flap display.

When merely brainstorming use cases, often in the early design process, some may come across smaller consumer signage that can also be used to post quotes. In our experience, consumer signage is best used in residential spaces (legible from up to 4-5 ft away), while our Split Flaps can be read from up to 100 ft away.

DAY #49: Split Flap for Stadium Fan Engagement

When it comes to memorable fan engagement tactics, Lucky Dorr at Wrigley Field was early to the game. The custom Split Flap display was installed back in 2017, when digital signage was in its heyday, serving as a trendsetter in mechanical magic. Check out why Oat Foundry is the perfect partner to stadiums, with collaborations with Wrigley Field, Citizens Bank Park, and the Rogers Centre.

DAY #48: Split Flap as an Event Calendar

Some brands are drawn to the features of a modern, reimagined Split Flap, such as a dynamic event calendar. During the early design process, some may compare us to smaller consumer signage. To us, this comparison misses the entire point.

In spaces where legibility is key, our Split Flap beats them all. Legible from 100 ft away, enterprise coffee shops, universities, retailers, offices, and entertainment venues can ensure guests are in the loop for every upcoming workshop, lecture, or class.

DAY #47: Split Flap as a Message Wall

Brands such as Fishwife and Diaspora draw from a deep well of food culture. Through ingredients and recipes, brands frequently use rich descriptors to draw customers into their brand stories. A centrally placed Split Flap can be the perfect sensory medium for these stories, rotating through the best uses of their unique products.
