What It Is

Elevate Creative was formed by combining the capabilities of Slate Shepherd and Infinite Scale, positioning itself as a “Design for Sport™” sports design studio. It is not an online design tool or template platform, but a custom creative service provider for the sports industry. Its clients include professional and collegiate sports venues, training centers, halls of fame, events, racetracks, entertainment venues, and sports brands.

Core Capabilities

Based on the official website, its capabilities cover four main areas: Brands, Venues, Events, and Digital. On the brand side, services include brand identity, season campaigns, graphic standards, brand strategy, naming, and storytelling. On the venue side, they include venue theming, wayfinding signage, naming-rights integration, corporate partner integration, retail and food-and-beverage spaces, and community and historical storytelling. On the event side, they include event visual audits, city dressing, on-site décor, sponsorship activation, brand protection, production procurement, and on-site services. On the digital side, they cover game-presentation graphics, virtual insertion graphics, rendering, social media, motion graphics, and video production. Its standout feature is its ability to integrate venues, events, sponsors, team brands, and audience experience into one cohesive system.

Pricing and Copyright

The official website does not disclose standard pricing, packages, payment methods, or copyright licensing terms. Judging by its large-scale sports venue and event case studies, collaborations are more likely to take the form of project-based consulting and design execution, with costs depending on scope, production complexity, and on-site implementation requirements. When brand assets, event visuals, and sponsor rights are involved, copyright ownership and usage scope should be confirmed separately in the contract.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths lie in its deep vertical experience in sports, with case studies including the Super Bowl, NHL All-Star, MLB All-Star, College Football Playoff, Levi’s Stadium, Little Caesars Arena, and more. The team also has experience in environmental graphics, materials, production, and event management, enabling it to carry projects from strategy through implementation. The downside is that the publicly available information is more showcase-oriented, with limited clarity on process, pricing, deliverable formats, copyright policies, and service response details. For small and midsize brands, the barrier to entry for custom services may be relatively high.

Who It’s For and Access in China

It is suitable for major sports leagues, clubs, university athletic departments, venue operators, event organizers, and sponsor brands, especially for new or renovated venues, event branding, wayfinding systems, hall-of-fame experiences, and brand integration projects. The website does not provide information on access from China or localized services, so its current accessibility in China is rated as unknown.
