Printing and Shipping Provider Reimagines Art to Showcase Company’s Technological Expertise and Culture of Collaboration

FedEx Office today celebrated the official unveiling of a new visual centerpiece at its recently-opened corporate campus in Plano, Texas. Highlighting local talent and creativity and demonstrating the company’s printing and production capabilities, the centerpiece features a high-resolution photograph of an original mosaic titled “Nebula Chroma,” created by Dallas native and award-winning artist Sonia King.

FedEx Office welcomed approximately 1,200 employees to its new corporate campus last fall, consolidating two locations. The campus displays contemplative, culturally stimulating modern artwork throughout, with the four-story mosaic image serving as the headquarters’ focal point and combining the company’s wide range of printing capabilities with its passion for workplace art.

FedEx Office selected the mosaic, created by world-renowned artist Sonia King, to illustrate its commitment to the local community and a company culture based on collaboration. Spanning all four floors of the campus’ open entrance, the mosaic commemorates important company milestones using complementary FedEx brand colors.

“I believe art plays an important role in the workplace, and I am thrilled to have my work on display at a company that continues to be committed to North Texas,” said King. “As an artist and small business owner, I consider FedEx Office as a trusted partner for years in helping me in the development phase of my creative process. FedEx Office reimagined ‘Nebula Chroma’ in a visionary way that I never thought would be possible.”

From creation to delivery, FedEx Office brought the mosaic image to life, starting with taking 15 photographs of a 24” x 24” section from King’s “Nebula Chroma” mosaic mural to create an enlarged, high-resolution image that now stretches 38 feet by 16 feet. The art was then sectioned into five panels printed and cut to size on various substrates by FedEx Office closed-door production facilities throughout the country.

The resulting color vibrancy demonstrates the company’s excellence in color management and consistency, particularly as Certified G7 Master Printers—the industry’s premier designation for color management. After printing was complete, FedEx Office deployed its transportation network to deliver the five sections in time for the work’s installation at the new corporate campus.

“Sonia King’s mosaic image is a meaningful part of our new campus,” said Brian Philips, president and chief executive officer, FedEx Office. “It allows us to tell our corporate story in a new way, with a focus on innovation and technology as well our team members’ passions, talent and skill sets. The mosaic reproduction demonstrates our ability to provide small and large businesses with innovative, expansive solutions powered by cutting-edge technology.”

It is the only national print provider that brings together one wholly-owned network of high-end manufacturing plants, retail locations, digital platforms and multiple transportation options to help meet the printing and logistics needs of its customers.
