Picture This: Random Images from Panini America’s Frenzied Last Few Weeks

It’s been a busy few weeks for us here at Panini America. So busy, in fact, that I thumbed across a few photos on my trusty iPhone today that I somehow forgot to share with the loyal readers of The Knight’s Lance.

That’s simply unacceptable.

So in effort to right that wrong, what follows is a somewhat random gallery of pictures from noteworthy Panini America occurrences of the recent past. A quick summation of what you’re about to see . . .

• Key recent arrivals — a pair of game-used end zone pylons (and game-used footballs) from Super Bowl XLV — that very well could have a bright, bright neon-like future in a 2011 Panini America football product.
• The nifty brand-heavy messaging that hangs proudly directly to the left of our new office’s main entrance.
• Various images from last week’s 2011 Industry Summit that you haven’t yet seen, complete with descriptions so you know what you’re looking at.

I hope you enjoy the scenes. My apologies again for inadvertently holding out on you.

And still more red.
