Bernard -- The Federation is pleased to announce that our appeal to the 2nd Circuit regarding the Vermont District Court's denial of our motion for a Preliminary Injunction/Temporary Restraining Order (PI/TRO) on the Vermont's unconstitutional 72-Hour Waiting Period is now in front of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals. Our legal team has done an excellent job in presenting our case (you can read our appeal here), and in addition to challenging the District Court's denial, we have also filed a motion to have the 2nd Circuit hear this challenge "En Banc", meaning we have asked for all thirteen 2nd Circuit Justices to hear this case. In presenting our arguments to the 2nd Circuit, I am incredibly pleased to report that an Amicus (Friend of the Court) Brief has been filed that supports our appeal, with this single Amicus Brief provided by five pro-2nd Amendment Groups that include: Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), Second Amendment Law Center, National Rifle Association (NRA), California Rifle & Pistol Association (CRPA), and the Minnesota Gun Owner Caucus You can read their Amicus Brief here. A second Amicus Brief filed in support of our appeal was also just filed, this one from our friends at the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF).  You can read that Amicus Brief here. While I admit being biased, both Briefs are killer.  They rip to shreds the stance of the Vermont District Court which either did not understand the Supreme Court's rulings in Heller, Caetano and Bruen; or it otherwise choose to pointedly ignore them.  Everyone who truly understands those decisions will know that to in order to Keep and Bear Arms you must be able to first Acquire Them, and there are simply NO historical laws which imposed any Waiting Period on the acquisition of a firearm.  None. When we appealed the denial of our PI/TRO to the 2nd Circuit we knew that months would pass where we were just waiting.  As a result, we opted to curtail our fund raising for that time as it did not seem appropriate to solicit money when minimal legal expenses were occurring.  THAT however has now changed, our Appeal is now moving in the 2nd Circuit, and just so you are aware:  To date we have spent over $200,000 in this legal battle with just under $30,000 being spent in the past 30 days. My fellow PATRIOTS:  Now is the time to step up to help us to help you; we cannot do this alone. Taking on the expense of filing a lawsuit to restore our rights was a huge undertaking for the Federation, but as one of my directors succinctly put it:  "If not Us, Who?  If not Now, When?" We need your financial support, and we need it urgently.  If you have already given to our lobbying and constitutional fights; PLEASE consider giving again.  If you have not given at all then PLEASE consider donating. You can learn how to donate using this page. PLEASE donate like your rights depended on it, and please forward this to your like-minded friends and family.

Step and Repeat Banners Continue to Redefine Event Visuals and Brand Engagement

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 19, 2025

United States

The Step and Repeat banner, a distinctive visual element at gatherings worldwide, maintains its prominence as a fundamental tool for event organizers, businesses, and public figures seeking heightened visibility. Originating from the world of celebrity gatherings and photo calls, these branded backdrops have expanded their utility, becoming a staple across a diverse array of events, from professional trade shows to personal celebrations.

A Step and Repeat banner features a repeating pattern of logos, sponsor names, or other brand elements, providing a consistent visual background for photography and media interviews. Its primary design purpose is to establish immediate brand visibility, allowing companies and individuals to maximize exposure through shared images and videos from their events. This repeated visual presence ensures that every photograph taken against the backdrop implicitly carries the event's identity or its sponsors' messages, creating numerous photo opportunities that extend brand promotion far beyond the physical location.

The versatility of the Step and Repeat banner extends to its construction. These backdrops are available in various materials and stand configurations to meet differing event needs and budgets. Vinyl banners, known for their durability and cost-effectiveness, are a frequent selection, particularly for outdoor use or settings where cleaning is straightforward. While vinyl surfaces can exhibit glare under flash photography, advances in printing technology have introduced matte finishes to reduce this effect. Conversely, fabric banners provide a premium appearance with a soft, non-glare finish, making them highly desirable for high-profile indoor events like Red Carpet Events and gala celebrations. Fabric options are often wrinkle-resistant, portraying a polished visual impact.

The physical support for these backdrops also presents choices. The banner stand is an integral component, offering portability and ease of assembly. Telescopic stands provide adjustable width and height, accommodating various space requirements and banner sizes. For a more seamless and taut presentation, pop-up banner stands, often utilizing tension fabric displays, create a smooth, wall-like effect, frequently referred to as a Media Wall or Logo Wall. These portable display systems simplify setup and breakdown, an advantage for event event planning teams.

Effective design remains central to a Step and Repeat banner's effectiveness. Custom design services specialize in arranging logos with appropriate spacing and repetition to ensure each brand mark is clear and unobstructed in photographs. High-quality printing is paramount, necessitating high-resolution graphics, typically vector files, to prevent pixelation when scaled for large format printing. Graphic design professionals guide clients in selecting suitable color modes and ensuring adherence to brand guidelines for a cohesive and professional presentation.

The application of Step and Repeat banners spans a wide spectrum of events. At Corporate Events and Trade Shows, they act as powerful tools for event marketing, attracting attendees and providing a consistent backdrop for interviews and company announcements. During Press Conferences, the repetition of logos reinforces sponsor recognition for media outlets. At private gatherings such as weddings or parties, personalized photo backdrops featuring monograms or themed graphics enhance the celebratory atmosphere and create memorable picture opportunities. Sponsorships are frequently highlighted on these banners, providing tangible value to contributing organizations through repeated exposure.

The continued evolution of digital marketing and social media platforms amplifies the value of Step and Repeat banners. Images captured against these backdrops are readily shared across social channels, generating organic reach and amplifying brand messages to broader audiences. This digital footprint extends the life of the event's visual branding, providing enduring returns on investment for advertising efforts.

Companies specializing in printing services offer a range of custom banners solutions, working with clients to determine the ideal materials, sizes, and stand types for their specific needs. From initial graphic design concepts to final large format printing and delivery, these providers help businesses and individuals translate their branding aspirations into a physical photo backdrop that makes a statement.

The Step and Repeat banner remains an indispensable asset for effective brand promotion and visual communication at any significant gathering. Its simplicity in concept belies its powerful capacity to elevate an event's profile and deliver sustained brand visibility in an increasingly visual world.

 Apex Display Solutions is a leading provider of high-quality event display products, specializing in custom Step and Repeat banners, Media Walls, and trade show exhibits.
