Custom Metal Letter Project

WhiteClouds created large dimensional metal letters for Doane College, using an 8-foot height and 4-foot depth to establish a freestanding campus identity feature.

Application
Freestanding campus identity feature

WhiteClouds created a freestanding set of large metal letters spelling DOANE for the college's Nebraska campus. The Doane letters stand approximately 8 feet high and 4 feet deep. At that scale, the Doane wordmark stands apart from nearby buildings and landscaping.

Project overview

A dimensional campus wordmark

The installation turns the five-letter Doane name into a physical campus feature. Consistent scale, depth, color, and alignment make DOANE one coordinated object rather than a row of unrelated signs.

At approximately 8 feet high, the letters are close to architectural scale. Their four-foot depth is equally important because it gives each character a stable visual profile when viewed from the side or along an approaching path.

Final application

Installed for visibility across seasons

The neutral letter finish works against both green grass and winter snow.

The installed wordmark remains visually distinct across both settings. The outer characters reveal the substantial depth, while consistent alignment holds DOANE together as one campus feature. Open space around the installation lets the full five-letter name be seen without competing objects interrupting the word.
