Since 1981, Big Apple Circus has been a New York City holiday staple in Lincoln Center. The show sets itself apart from other performances with its intimate one ring atmosphere. This favors European circuses with one act at a time as opposed to traditional American shows that have multiple performances occurring simultaneously. To keep the show fresh, a new theme is designed each year in collaboration with multiple designers and creative directors from the city. For their 40th Anniversary Show, the circus decided to completely refresh their image. They reached out to our team at Admark Graphics to update their fleet of trailers and food carts before the start of the season.

In preparation for the circus relaunch, Big Apple Circus needed help refreshing their outdated vehicles with their new branding.  They have trailers that are over 20 years old that the circus wanted to look brand new again.  Big Apple wanted to make a statement on opening day with their entire fleet rebranded for the year’s tour.  This process included removing existing graphics, cleaning each unit, making necessary repairs, repainting, and then installing the new graphics.

Big Apple Circus was in awe of how the graphics refresh transformed their fleet.  This project was one of the key catalysts to a successful start to their touring season.  Since the fleet rebrand was so successful, Big Apple is continuing to add graphics to previously unmarked units along with promotional banners and branded fencing material.  Admark is proud to have helped Big Apple Circus achieve their goal of taking their existing outdated, fading, and peeling designs and making their fleet look brand new and professional as it travels to circus tour stops around the country.
