Exhibit and Event Resources

Soul Box Logos and Banners

Place your event in the context of this nationwide movement–then your visitors can carry the message with a Soul Box Project in their community.
For press conferences, place larger versions (8″ square or 24″ horizontal) over panels so the Soul Box backdrop is clearly identified for news cameras.

Please always include the Soul Box Project name and/or logo in your
□  social media announcements (#SoulBoxProject),
□  website and online notices of your exhibit/event,
□  printed publications or notices,
□  communications with local media.

Exhibit Signage  – Ready to Print

This PDF contains 3 signs formatted@ 11 x 17, appropriate to print for any event or display quantity.

Exhibit Signage – Introduction to Your Exhibition or Display

Every display of Soul Boxes should tell visitors how many people are being represented by the Soul Boxes on view.  This PDF contains a sign template that will be tailored to your specific needs. Contact us at exhibit@SoulBoxProject.org to further customize signage for your exhibit or event.

Signage: Informational Flyer for Visitors

Download and print double-sided on 8.5×11, then cut in half for visitors to take away. If sent electronically, links are clickable.

Signage: Add a Soul Box DIY panels

Download and print one or more of these blank panels on which visitors may mount their Soul Boxes in your exhibition. The height of these printable panels matches our loaned panels, but these can also be used alone for completely DIY exhibitions. Foam core (48″h x 13″ or 24″ w) is an ideal sign backing for pinning Boxes into the grid pattern–and easily removing them later. Alternatively, attach Soul Boxes with velcro or tape for a more permanent display. Laminating this board will make the board and the attached Boxes easily reusable.

Video and Flyer: How to Fold a Soul Box

If you are hosting a Soul Box-folding activity or including a table in your exhibit space, you may play the video in a loop or place a print-out into a plexi sign holder. Include paper cut to 8.5 x 8.5 square and (optional) markers, glue stick, or other materials to personalize Soul Boxes.

Print the step-by-step directions 3 times on stiff paper and tape together to make a convenient, hands-free, 3-sided table-top unit.
