Laser Projection Lights up Pittsburgh Skyline for Heisman Nominee
Lightwave International unleashed a game-changing laser light projection, transforming Pittsburgh’s skyline to spotlight a Heisman Trophy campaign. Using 40 state-of-the-art lasers, we projected bold logos—“Heisman 2 Pickett” and the quarterback’s number 8—across the U.S. Steel Tower, Pittsburgh’s tallest landmark. This guerrilla-style laser light projection, spanning 25+ floors, captivated the city, with WTAE, CBS news and many other outlets reporting its massive visibility. Our custom-programmed display turned a building into a canvas, showcasing the power of large-scale laser branding.

The Proof is in the Projection
We are experts at projections that capture perfectly by professionals and audience members alike. It should not require a special long exposure, frame rate, or aperture setting for your logo to read perfectly. An attendee with a cellphone will likely post the first photos and videos that gain viral traction — will it be perfect in appearance or flickering and missing pieces of the image? Lightwave has the solution to your city-scale skycraper and mountain projections.
