The Old State Earns Website Design Award for Work with Dallas Arboretum

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) September 11, 2014

The Old State announced today that the full-service digital marketing website design agency was awarded the Best Cultural Digital Signage from the Digital Screenmedia Association. Company officials say the award was provided in recognition of The Old State’s installation of touch screen kiosks in the highly regarded new Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden at the Dallas Arboretum. The educational kiosk project is one of the largest installs of its kind in the country – boasting some 980 interactive touch-screen games on over 120 outdoor screens. The Old State also recently designed and developed the Dallas Arboretum’s website.

“This is a bold new step for The Old State,” said Travis McElroy, Owner and CEO of The Old State. “We reached for the brass ring on this project and it really paid off.”

“Nothing like this has been done before on this scale that I know of,” says Ron LeonGuerrero, Director of Technology at The Old State. “Our entire team came together and did a superb job in a very short amount of time. I’m very proud of all of them.”

The award, coming on the heels of a Gold Award from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education for Texas Christian University’s Admissions website, is the second commendation that the company has received this year.

With new clients such as Klyde Warren Park in Dallas, and Great Parks of Hamilton County in Ohio, The Old State is emerging as the go-to company for outdoor kiosk design, development, and installation.

Dallas Cowboys Dont Have to Pony Up this Season: Save on The Display Shield

Orlando, Fl. (PRWEB) September 05, 2014

In addition to the Dallas Cowboys schedule kicking off with an exciting match against the 49ers (San Francisco), the Cowboys have also been working with AT&T on implementing faster internet speeds, interactive digital displays, a mobile app that interacts in the AT&T Stadium during games and investing in The Display Shield bulk display enclosures. A popular solution for signage protection among sports arenas and outdoor facilities, The Display Shield weatherproof enclosures are a wise financial investment for The American Football Franchise. Offering water-resistance and security, twenty of Protective Enclosures Company’s newly designed digital signage cases (The Display Shield DS5060H-2 models) will be located in the AT&T Miller Lite Corral outdoor pavilion.

CEO at PEC, Justin King, commented on the deal “PEC couldn’t hope to be part of something more amazing… the Dallas Cowboys are an icon and close to the heart of America. As they move forward with their exciting interactive updates to the stadium, integrating The Display Shields and continuing in the new season, PEC will be cheering them on.” The Dallas Cowboys are an American icon. They came in at number three on The World’s 50 Most Valuable Sports Teams list by Forbes Magazine. They are an impressive addition to PEC’s list of customers, some of which include Talladega Superspeedway, Georgie Tech, the University of Mississippi, the University of Alabama, Jacksonville Jaguars, Marriott, Six Flags and more.

The Display Shield was selected by the Dallas Cowboys due to its versatility, the quality of the product and cost-savings. Made of ultra-clear Lexan ® polycarbonate, the same material used to produce bulletproof glass, the front covers (shields) offer ultimate durability and screen protection. The Display Shield’s thermostatically controlled 36CFM 115V filtered fan coupled with two vents located on the upper side corners regulate the temperature of the enclosed display. These weatherproof units weigh significantly less than alternative digital signage protection solutions and are made of lightweight, yet highly durable and long lasting HMWPE outdoor plastics. In addition, the Dallas Cowboys pointed out that their displays won’t be taking damage, so they’ll need to be replaced less often and when they are replaced, they’ll be able to continue to be housed in PEC’s protective The Display Shield enclosures. That’s a money saver situation and a win-win.

Protective Enclosures Company (PEC) is a privately held, US based manufacturer of affordable, lightweight, weatherproof and secure protective enclosures for TVs, Flat Panel Displays and Digital Signage.
