To commemorate MLS Cup 2009, Major League Soccer's championship game on November 22, 2009, the sloped roof of Seattle's towering 605-foot Space Needle was painted in the image of the MLS Cup ball.
Audemars Piguet WatchThe unique roof design featured the official MLS Cup 2009 logo, as well as the logos of the two participating teams--LA Galaxy and Real Salt Lake. Seattle-based Omega Graphics & Signs, LLC spearheaded the onsite work for the project by utilizing a combination of large digital prints for the various logos and Devguard 4306, a Devoe High Performance Coatings product, for the ball's image.
Devoe High Performance Coatings products were recommended for the Space Needle project by the company's sister decorative division, Glidden Paints, a corporate partner of MLS since 2005. Glidden's logo is also featured on the front of the Columbus Crew Jersey. Columbus won MLS Cup 2008.
In addition, Devoe's coatings are currently being used in the construction of two other stadiums for MLS teams--the Louis Vuitton Watches NewYork Red Bulls and Philadelphia Union--both slated to open in time for the 2010 MLS season.

"We are very proud to have participated in painting the Space Needle's roof for MLS Cup 2009," said Chris Tiernay, Devoe's vice president protective coatings, North America. "Our expertise in protective coatings and Glidden Paint's ongoing partnership with Major League Soccer made this unprecedented opportunity a perfect fit."
Devoe High Performance Coatings and Glidden Paints are part of the AkzoNobel family of high-performance protective and decorative coatings companies. Earlier this year, the Replica Christian Dior Devoe High Performance Coatings business merged with AkzoNobel's Houston-based International Paint Protective Coatings business in order to provide a comprehensive range of protective coatings, linings and fire-protection products to customers throughout North America. International Paint Protective Coatings products are currently being used in the construction of three U.S. athletic stadium projects and 25 stadium projects globally.
