For the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, graduation day called for more than caps and gowns. Family members and friends needed a fun way to celebrate new graduates and show their Bearcat pride. Evolution creative solutions produced specialty die-cut Bearcat fans for the ceremony, earning a Silver award in Specialty Finishing from the Graphic Media Alliance Print Excellence Awards.
Turn a Mascot Into a Crowd Favorite
Designed in the shape of the UC Bearcat mascot, the handheld fans transformed graduation into a more interactive and energetic celebration. Evolution creative solutions digitally printed the oversized mascot graphics on durable cardstock, then precision-die-cut each piece to match the custom Bearcat shape.
To complete the specialty finishing, wooden hobby sticks were hand-applied to the back of each fan, creating sturdy handheld pieces for guests to wave throughout the ceremony. Careful die-cut precision ensured the mascot retained its recognizable shape while remaining comfortable to hold.
Specialty Print That Gets Applause
Evolution creative solutions managed digital print production, specialty finishing, and assembly to create a polished final product ready for graduation day. The die-cut Bearcat fans became more than printed giveaways. They encouraged audience participation, amplified school spirit, and helped transform the ceremony into a more energetic and visually engaging celebration for graduates, families, and guests alike.
