University of Texas Iconic Burnt Orange Reimagined
This spring, a longtime client enlisted the Craven + Co. event team to produce a graduation party for UT’s Sigma Phi Epsilon Chapter. The event concept was clear. It needed to be fun, celebratory + Bleed Burnt Orange, as true Longhorn fans say.
As you can imagine, since we’re based in Austin, Texas, our Super\\Custom team had been fabricating UT-focused pieces over the past year. Since this event was larger scale, it gave us an opportunity to dream up new pieces specific to the celebration at hand.
We hope you love browsing through the photos as much as we loved creating these S\\C pieces.
UT’S MASCOT IN ALL ITS GLORY
Measuring an impressive 7.5 feet wide, our Longhorn Silhouette in Mirrored Acrylic is an attention getter. We installed the Longhorn to float gracefully in the center of the client’s pool. One of the great things about using mirror is the way it reflects its surroundings. The gorgeous trees that stretched over the pool gave the Burnt Orange Mirror an ever-changing reflection of the leaves + branches.
BURNT ORANGE BAR ELEMENTS
Craven + Co. chose signature cocktails to fit the theme + the crowd. S\\C kept the Burnt Orange Mirror for the Bar Menus, using a bright white ink for the artwork + text. In case you’re a Longhorn fan or just a cocktail fan, below are the delicious signature cocktails the event team dreamed up:
THE LONGHORN Pantalones Tequila | Topo Chico | Tajin Rim | Orange Slice
HOOK ‘EM Vodka | Lime Juice | Simple Syrup | Cucumber Slices
BURNT ORANGE Bourbon | Angostura Bitters | Simple Syrup | Orange Twist
If you want to give one (or all) of these a try, visit our sister site, The Drink Calculator for the full cocktail recipes.
S\\C LONGHORN SWIZZLE STICKS
Guests also got to swizzle their cocktails with our Longhorn Silhouette Swizzle Sticks in a mixed acrylic color palette of Orange Glitter, Matte Terracotta + Transparent Orange. As is usually the case, our swizzle sticks went home with more than a few guests. “Stealing” the swizzles is highly encouraged by the way.
S\\C TABLE SPRINKLES
Table Sprinkles are exactly what the name implies: playful acrylic shapes in curated colorways to sprinkle down the middle of your tablescape. Table Sprinkles are sold in sets of 75 shapes made up of 25 small, 25 medium + 25 large.
SUPER \\ CUSTOM ON-DEMAND
The team at Craven + Co. created our SUPER\\CUSTOM line to offer design + print pieces, that would otherwise require commissioning graphic designers + multiple vendors to fabricate, in a turnkey, on-demand format. If you don’t see something you’re looking for, our design consultants are always on hand to help you bring your vision to life.
