When Parkcrest Storage approached our creative team at Prodigy Pixel, they wanted something different. Something welcoming that took the general drabness associated with storage units and flung it over a cliff.

Storage facilities conjure images of asphalt, concrete, and steel gates. We decided to work from the idea of growth – storage units are needed when growth occurs, to store items of value when you’ve accumulated too much, and as a means to help businesses develop. Security measures like cameras and locks are in abundance (for good reason), but that can create an oppressive feeling. The bright colors and open design of the site serve to minimize this impression and prepare potential customers for a friendly visit before they’ve ever set foot on the business grounds.
