Step and Repeat Posted on: June 3, 2019 by Gemma Russo What is Step and Repeat? Step and repeat is a repeated logo pattern – the logos are presented in a straight line or consistent line, with each subsequent line being indented so that the pattern is staggered. You do also see examples of designs where the logos are aligned vertically and horizontally. The design will depend on factors such as the size and shape of the logos being used. Where are Step and Repeat designs used? Step and repeat designs are usually used as photography backdrops on banners to promote an event and sponsors. You will regularly find them at red carpet events, press events, or more commonly as interview backdrops in sporting events. We’ve even created one for a birthday party! What is a Step and Repeat Banner? A step and repeat banner is simply another phrase for a ‘step and repeat backdrop’. The term banner is used generically and not in a specific way. The banner itself can be made from PVC or polyester fabric. PVC graphics can be hung on frames or supplied within a base unit (as a pop up banner). Polyester fabric graphics need to suspend on a frame, such as our step and repeat banner backdrop. How to choose your step and repeat backdrop 1.
