MGM Studios Displays DVD Collection

This display was designed to convey a high end image for MGM Studios’ DVDs and to hold a maximum amount of titles within a small footprint.

The unit features a unique pocket pusher system. The pusher pocket continuously pushes product towards the front, giving the display a full/clean appearance.

Black Diamond Displays Headlamps

Black Diamond Equipment, a leading manufacturer of climbing and backcountry ski gear, is using this display to merchandise its line of headlamps.

The challenge was to create a universal bracket for Black Diamond's line of Performance LightWear. The individual brackets also had to fit on a stand in a tree configuration that accommodates up to four headlamp brackets.

A large cutout on the back of the brackets provides an anchor point for the battery packs of each headlamp. The front of each bracket has a small lip to support interchangeable graphic product information cards. A Black Diamond logo is displayed on each bracket to reinforce branding.

The tree stand has a black melamine base with a zinc-plated cold-rolled steel rod to support the brackets. The height of each headlamp bracket is adjustable and can be secured in any position.

Concept Designs Inc., Mountain View, CA, created the display system for Black Diamond.



Waypoint Bank Installs Interactive Kiosks At Branches

Waypoint Bank, Harrisburg, PA, is installing a network of interactive kiosks across its bank branches located throughout Pennsylvania and Maryland. Livewire International, York PA, has been contracted to install the touchscreen kiosks.

Unlike an ATM, which allows financial transactions, the new kiosks are intended to provide information to bank customers regarding services and accounts offered by the bank. Customers who are not sure which product is best for them will be guided through the process by answering simple questions. Detailed information and necessary forms can be printed on demand by the kiosk to allow customers to open accounts at the time it is most convenient to them.

Andrew Samuel, Exec. V.P. of Waypoint, said, “The interactive customer-driven dialog provided by the kiosk will help guide our customers to the product or account that best serves their needs. The kiosk will also promote our Internet Banking initiative by showing how easy and convenient Internet banking can be.”
