Colorful illustrations inspired by native Texas animals now adorn Texas Children’s shuttles at the Medical Center campus, giving our team members the chance to take a ride with creatures like the armadillo, Mexican free-trailed bat and great-horned owl.
The bright, whimsical characters were created by children’s book author and illustrator Jacob Grant, who partnered with our creative agency, The Butler Bros, on a series of custom designs for Texas Children’s.
“Our team was thrilled to bring a universe of diverse characters to life,” said Jake Rutherford, collaboration manager at The Butler Bros.
The animals are shown in a mix of health care situations and iconic childhood moments – including mommy animals and their adorable babies on the go, young animals receiving bandages and crutches and being examined during medical appointments, and a group of animal friends playing together.
A total of 15 shuttle buses will be wrapped in the new artwork, which is meant to represent the diverse range of children, women and families we serve every day.
“These new bus wraps present our Texas Children’s brand in a fun and kid-friendly manner,” said Michael Jackson, assistant director, Facilities Operations. “Most importantly, we hope to bring smiles and joy by refreshing our buses in the midst of this pandemic.”
