The Nashville Visual Takeover: Event Graphics Printing & Installation for the 2019 NFL Draft

Expertise in Event Graphics Printing and Installation
With our focus on event graphics printing and installation, we ensure every visual aspect is perfectly aligned with the event’s theme.
When a global event takes over an entire city, every surface becomes part of the brand experience.
For the 2019 NFL Draft, Nashville wasn’t simply hosting an event — it became a fully wrapped visual environment designed for television, social media, sponsors, athletes, and hundreds of thousands of fans.
As a 3M Preferred Graphics Installer, Black Diamond Designs handled high-performance event graphics printing and installation across multiple high-traffic locations throughout downtown Nashville.
Our scope included:
- Large-format window graphics
- Wall wraps and branded environmental graphics
- Stair graphics and step branding
- Slip-resistant floor graphics
- Elevator wraps
- Directional signage and experiential branding
- Interior and exterior event graphics installations
Every installation had to be camera-ready, durable, and installed under aggressive production deadlines.
Tin Roof Nashville: A Featured Event Graphics Installation
One of the key locations during the NFL Draft activation was Tin Roof Nashville, located directly in the heart of the downtown entertainment district.
This high-profile venue required a complete visual transformation to support ESPN’s broadcast presence and event branding.
Our team installed:

These graphics served multiple purposes:
These event graphics printing and installation efforts were pivotal in drawing in crowds to the entertainment district.
- Brand visibility
- Crowd engagement
- Privacy and lighting control
- Sponsor integration
- Television-ready aesthetics
Using premium 3M vinyl materials, we ensured maximum color vibrancy, clean installation lines, and durability throughout the event.
Wall Graphics & Environmental Branding
Inside the venue, large-format wall graphics transformed ordinary surfaces into immersive branded environments.
The goal wasn’t simply decoration.
The objective was to create a cohesive visual story that enhanced:
- ESPN’s broadcast environment
- Fan engagement
- Sponsor visibility
- Social media photography opportunities
- Overall event atmosphere
From media backdrops to feature walls, every installation contributed to the energy surrounding the NFL Draft experience.
Stair Graphics & Floor Graphics
High-traffic event spaces create unique installation challenges.
Our stair graphics and floor graphics installations were engineered to withstand thousands of pedestrians while maintaining a premium appearance throughout the event.
These installations required:
- Precision alignment
- Slip-resistant laminates
- Durable adhesive systems
- Clean removability after the event
- Fast overnight installation schedules
In large-scale event environments, floor graphics become both functional and promotional — guiding traffic flow while reinforcing brand messaging at every step.
Elevator Wraps & Experiential Graphics
One of the most overlooked opportunities in event branding is transitional space.
At the NFL Draft installations, elevator wraps became another layer of the immersive experience.
These graphics required extreme installation precision around:
- Door seams
- Corners
- Curved surfaces
- High-touch traffic areas
This type of detail-focused work is where experience matters most. Poor installation becomes immediately visible under television lighting and close-up photography.
At Black Diamond Designs, precision is the standard.
Event Graphics Printing & Installation Requires More Than Vinyl
Large-scale event graphics are one of the most demanding sectors of the graphics industry.
There are no delays.
No second chances.
No room for installation failure.
Everything must be executed perfectly and on schedule.
For the 2019 NFL Draft, our team operated under intense production timelines while coordinating installations throughout downtown Nashville.
That level of execution requires:
Technical Expertise
As a 3M Preferred Graphics Installer, we understand the science behind proper surface preparation, vinyl performance, adhesion, heat-setting, and environmental durability.
Every substrate behaves differently.
Concrete, glass, painted drywall, textured walls, elevators, stair risers, and polished floors all require specialized installation methods.
Speed & Logistics
National event installations move fast.
Our team coordinated printing, staging, transportation, and installation schedules to meet tight production windows while minimizing disruption to active event preparation.
When major brands are preparing for national television coverage, delays are not acceptable.
Broadcast-Ready Quality
Event graphics must look flawless both in person and on camera.
That means:
- Seamless installations
- Bubble-free finishes
- Perfect alignment
- Consistent color reproduction
- Clean edge detailing
From street-level fan interactions to national ESPN broadcasts, every detail mattered.
Why Experience Matters in Event Graphics Installation
Anyone can claim they install graphics.
Very few companies can successfully execute large-scale national event branding under pressure.
At Black Diamond Designs, we bring over 20 years of large-format graphics experience to every project.
Our team’s knowledge of event graphics printing and installation ensures we meet the highest standards.
Our team has worked on:
- Stadium graphics

The difference between an average installer and an elite installer becomes obvious on projects where timelines are compressed and visibility is massive.
The NFL Draft was exactly that kind of project.
The Impact of Environmental Event Branding
The visual atmosphere surrounding the 2019 NFL Draft played a major role in the event’s success.
Fans experienced:
- Immersive branded environments
- High-energy visual storytelling
- Clear directional graphics
- Television-quality installations

When cameras captured Nashville during draft weekend, the environmental graphics weren’t background elements.
