Pixelwerx partnered with Element, the design agency leading Golden 1 Credit Union’s branch transformation initiative, to execute branded environmental graphics and dimensional signage across multiple branch locations throughout California.
Golden 1 Credit Union is a member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative serving communities statewide. The new branch concept was designed to create a more consultative, community-focused experience while establishing a scalable prototype for future locations. Pixelwerx supported this vision by producing, fabricating, and installing branded elements across multiple California branches, ensuring consistency at every site.

Golden 1’s branch transformation initiative required more than producing individual signage elements — it demanded consistent execution across multiple locations throughout California.
Each branch presented unique architectural conditions, while still needing to reflect the same brand standards and design intent. Complex, multi-level dimensional signage systems had to be fabricated with precision and installed accurately in high-visibility lobby environments where detail and alignment mattered.
Maintaining brand consistency across diverse sites — while coordinating statewide production and installation — was essential to ensuring the new branch concept could scale without compromising quality.
Pixelwerx approached the Golden 1 rollout with a focus on repeatable execution at scale.
Working closely with Element, our team translated approved designs into finished, install-ready components that could be deployed consistently across locations. Pixelwerx printed graphics, fabricated multi-level dimensional signage, and assembled complex signage systems in our facility to ensure quality control before installation.
A key feature of each branch was the primary Golden 1 lobby sign — a multi-part installation combining printed graphics, dimensional lettering, and layered materials. Pixelwerx fabricated these elements in-house and handled full installation at each branch location across California, maintaining alignment with brand standards and architectural conditions from site to site.
The completed branch environments deliver a modern, flexible experience that reflects Golden 1’s brand values and future vision — consistently, from location to location.
Dimensional signage and environmental graphics establish a strong brand presence while integrating seamlessly into each space. Pixelwerx’s ability to fabricate and install every branded element across California ensured visual consistency, quality, and reliability throughout the rollout.
This project succeeded because of clear collaboration and disciplined execution at scale.
Element led the design strategy and experience vision, while Pixelwerx owned production and installation across all locations. In-house fabrication ensured precision across complex signage systems, and Pixelwerx’s installation expertise allowed the team to execute confidently in multiple environments without sacrificing quality or consistency.
