Young Family Athletic Center
Impactful signage and vibrant graphics create a space that energizes, empowers, and reinforces the center’s mission of promoting mental well-being.
The Young Family Athletic Center (YFAC) isn’t just another sports complex – it’s a statement. Spanning 122,000 square feet in Norman, OK, this facility is built for performance, community, and impact. At its core is the Trae Young Family Foundation’s mission to promote mental health and wellness, making YFAC more than a training ground – it’s a place of support and inspiration. Named for NBA star Trae Young, a Norman native known for his deep shooting range and dynamic playmaking, the center reflects his commitment to giving back to his hometown. Takeform helped bring this vision to life with bold, high-impact signage and experiential graphics that do more than guide visitors – they define the space, amplify the brand, and create an environment where athletes and the community can thrive.

Turning Plans into Presence.
Coordinating signage and graphics for the athletic center required careful alignment with the construction timeline. A dedicated project manager from Takeform facilitated communication among stakeholders, ensuring that products were designed and installed in sync with the evolving build. Efficient problem-solving by engineering and manufacturing teams helped keep the project on schedule, minimizing delays and ensuring seamless integration into the facility.
Interior Signage
Inside YFAC, signage isn’t just functional - it’s a design element that reinforces the facility’s energy and identity. A combination of flag and wall-mounted signs ensures clear navigation, guiding athletes and visitors seamlessly through the expansive space. Bold, face-lit dimensional letters make a statement, creating a striking visual presence that mirrors the facility’s energy. Every detail was designed for clarity and presence, ensuring the signage doesn’t just blend in - it stands out.

Amplify custom wallcovering adds energy and movement to the space, reinforcing its identity while standing up to high activity. Strategically placed in key areas, its bold graphics create contrast and momentum, mirroring the action within the facility. We used Amplify's 'Traffic' wallcovering, a self-adhesive vinyl with a moisture-resistant coating, offering long-lasting durability without sacrificing design.
Window Film
Amplify custom window film blends function with design at YFAC. Striped distraction markers (pictured) add energy while enhancing glass visibility, improving safety without disrupting the space’s openness. This design was achieved using our Amplify 'Clarity' product, ensuring both function and aesthetic impact. Our 'Ghost' Amplify film provides visual privacy in key areas, like locker rooms, creating a comfortable environment while preserving a modern, open feel. This thoughtful integration ensures every detail reinforces the center’s identity and purpose.
Exterior Signage
A double-sided, internally illuminated monument sign creates a bold first impression at YFAC, enhancing visibility and reinforcing the facility’s presence day and night. Building on this impact, illuminated on-building branding was securely fastened to the fascia, designed to meet architectural specifications with engineering enhancements for a precise fit and long-lasting durability. Leveraging manufacturing and engineering expertise, these solutions transform design vision into bold, durable, and seamlessly integrated signage.
