AOL's Big '25'

Starting with Number 2BALTIMORE, Maryland (Wed, 16 June 2010) - The producers of AOL's 25th Anniversary event in Dulles, VA wanted to include a large '25' on the headquarters lawn and called upon Stevenson Group for the job.

The numbers needed to be 8' tall and be sturdy enough to stand, self-supported, on grass without the use of stakes. Stevenson Group constructed the numbers out of MDF using their in-house CNC routing tables for the numerical profiles and then bent a thinner MDF with the use of a custom kerfing technique to complete the 1' thick sides.

In less than one week Stevenson Group was able to order materials, route, build, sand, prime and paint the numbers, along with their bases, with time to spare. AOL employees and invitees used the numbers as a company photo opp, and featured them on their website here.
