Sponsor Signs: Brand Promotion Media
Signs that go beyond merely displaying logos; they make sponsoring brands visible, memorable, and present in the overall event, including physical space, photos, videos, and live streams.
Sponsor signs are displays used to show the name, logo, or message of sponsors at various activities such as sports competitions, running events, concerts, product launches, seminars, or corporate events. Their main purpose is to make the sponsoring brand visible to the public and to enhance the professionalism of the event's overall image.
At an event, sponsor signs can be installed in several locations, such as at the entrance, registration points, along the sports field, behind the stage, photo booths, award presentation areas, or any location frequently captured by cameras and video recorders.

Material Selection Guide
Choosing the Right Sponsor Sign Material for Your Event
Material selection should consider usage duration, installation location, environment, and budget. For events lasting 1–3 days, vinyl or foam board may suffice. However, for multi-day outdoor events, materials that are more resistant to wind and moisture should be chosen.

Products for Sponsor Signs
Octopus Media Solutions offers comprehensive sponsor sign production, including vinyl, board, backdrops, and freestanding signs, for sports events, running events, general events, and corporate activities.
It depends on the installation location and viewing distance. Fieldside signs viewed from 10–20 meters away should be at least 80–100 cm tall, and each brand logo should have an area of no less than 25x25 cm to be clearly visible in video footage.
It is recommended to divide them into tiers: Main Sponsor (largest logo), Co-Sponsor, Media Partner, and Supporting Partner (smallest). Logos within the same tier should be of equal size, with appropriate spacing between them.
We recommend thick vinyl (440–510 gsm) for temporary use over several days. If installation is longer or in high wind conditions, perforated vinyl (Mesh) or signs attached to a securely fastened steel frame should be used.
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) or PNG/TIFF images with a resolution of at least 300 DPI at actual size should be prepared. If there are multiple logos, each brand's file should be sent separately, along with brand colors (Pantone or CMYK) to ensure accurate printing.
