Split Rock Studios Launches New Identity and Website

For over ten years you have known us as the “museum outfitters”. We outfitted all manner of clients with dioramas, murals, sculptures, and interactives to tell a story, commemorate persons and events, and celebrate both the smallest and largest elements and phenomena of nature.

Our developers, designers, artists, and woodworkers do what they do–quite simply–because they love it. What do you get when you combine that kind of enthusiasm with a challenge to meet a budget and create something worth coming to year after year? Delighted visitors, proud clients, and a confirmation we are on the right track.

We are celebrating our next ten years by refreshing our logo and website. We looked to the geode to represent that sense of discovery that we have been cultivating for the last ten years, and will continue to foster in the next ten.

 


Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge

“Seeing the Unseen” is the theme exhibit theme at this Refuge. Split Rock Studios provided final design and fabrication of exhibits for the new visitor center.

Islands of realistic dioramas depict the Refuge’s unique mangrove and uplands habitats, and help visitors learn to see the animals and plants that make up these ecosystems. An exhibit modeled after the studio of famed editorial cartoonist Ding Darling introduces visitors to the Refuge’s namesake and his important contributions to wildlife preservation and conservation. A room of hands-on exhibits includes a Build-A-Bird puzzle and an etched-glass rubbing table where visitors can make rubbings of Ding Darling cartoons and illustrations of Sanibel wildlife.
