L&H Companies recently executed a design build feature project partnering with our friends at Hershey Chocolate World to create this unique rooftop display. Old school water tower, lettering, and Chocolate bar so realistic it will make you crave chocolate! Utilizing a custom paint technique to give the new framing and elements a weathered look while still maintaining a modern retro feel was paramount to the execution. The Hershey letters themselves are illuminated with an Edison style bulb and programming controls that allow the team to set them to different patterns.

Liberty Arena stands as the fresh hub for Liberty University’s basketball and volleyball teams. Nestled beside the larger 10,000-seat Vines Center, this 4,000-seat venue impresses with its intimate setting, ensuring an electrifying environment and a unique home court edge.
In collaboration with L&H Signs, Liberty University envisioned and executed the indoor signage and navigation for this venture. L&H was given the challenge of infusing the vibrant red & blue brand hues into a contemporary sign package. With the seating areas lacking back walls or distinct entry points for clear signage, L&H innovatively crafted “triangle totems” to guarantee visibility from every corner of the arena.
