DRAW worked with the City of Kansas City, MO, to design "Monarch Plaza" in 2013. In 2021, we worked with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum to revitalize and refurbish the site. This revitalization involved adding Jackie Robinson to the cadre of players commemorated on the site, a new sign marking the site's historical context as the location of KC's Municipal Stadium and an email invitation.

Using historical references, I approximated the original signage typeface, and added references to the stadium's architectural details and former neighborhood businesses to set the visual tone.
