About Us

A short time ago, Fathead was a company with a handful of employees and a REAL.BIG. vision. Today, we’re the leading brand in sports and entertainment wall graphics with thousands of officially licensed products! Our product line-up includes Fathead Tradeables, Fathead Jr., Fathead Skins and of course our Real.Big Fathead- the officially licensed, life-size, hi-def wall graphics of professional athletes, animated super heroes, entertainment figures, team helmets and logos… just to name a few.

Fathead was started in the fall of 2005, and has been under the current ownership since June of 2006. Fathead is one thread in a large family of innovative properties in the sports and entertainment market, including the Cleveland Cavaliers (www.cavs.com), Lake Erie Monsters (www.lakeeriemonsters.com), The Quicken Loans Arena (www.theqarena.com), Xenith (www.xenith.com),and Veritix (www.veritix.com).

Fathead allows fans to show their passion, whether it’s their favorite sports team, player, hero, musician or band. There’s no product on earth that can better demonstrate fan loyalty than a life-sized, in-your-face Fathead on the wall! Our product IS passion. When you’re walking through the house and turn the corner and actually SEE a Fathead for the first time…the reaction is always the same, “WOW!”, “UNBELIEVABLE!”, “VERY COOL!”

We don’t want to leave anyone out of the Fathead Revolution just because they’re not into sports. Our quest is to cover every surface, so we’re constantly looking for new opportunities to thrill the entire family. We offer a wide variety of fun, kid-friendly images in our Real.Big product line that can transform a room in a matter of minutes. We’ve introduced everything from jungle animals, farm animals, sea creatures and baby dinosaurs to awesome photographs of horses and lions. From pirate ships to rocket ships, you can be sure that your child will love their room with these awesome wall graphics!

In addition to our various lines aimed at children, there really are Fatheads for the whole family. We have seasonal décor for the home designer and entertainment products for the movie buff. Also, for the artistically inclined, we now have Fine Art by SM/ART that includes everything from Caravaggio to Van Gogh as well as award-winning photography. From Harley-Davidsons to Chewbacca, from Disney Princesses to Astronaut Buzz Aldrin; whatever you’re looking for, Fathead’s got you (and your wall) covered. With over 1,000 images and more coming every day, there is something for everyone! Whatever you’re passionate about, there’s a Fathead for you.

Still haven’t found the perfect Fathead? Fathead Customs now give you the ability to create almost any image you think is Fathead Worthy into a life-size wall graphic! Take any picture and blow it up to JUMBO size (4’ x 6’6”) and put it on your wall! We put the power of Fathead in your hands with Fathead Custom.

And Fathead is expanding to more than just walls as demonstrated by the release of Tradeables and Fathead Skins. As the Fathead phenomenon sweeps the nation, we remain obsessed with finding the best way to bring fans’ passions home, whatever form that might take.

Fathead is more than just a website. We have been featured on ESPN, ESPN The Magazine, MTV, FOX News, FOX Sports Net, The Price is Right, CNBC, ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition, The Big Bang Theory, and The Today Show.

Fathead is located in, designed in and manufactured right here in the good ‘ol’ US of A. In fact, Fathead is headquartered in dowtown Detroit, Michigan. We bet you didn’t know that about us, but now you do!

In fact, The Detroit Free Press named us a 2010 Top Work Place. How cool is that? And we're the ones who responded to the survey ourselves so it's not like someone outside Fathead decided we were a great place to work - we did. We may be a small company in terms of how many people work here but we're a REAL.BIG. company in the way we think and act. Not real big in the sense of old and stuffy and out of touch but REAL.BIG. like our products - bold, innovative and fun! We have ESPN and other shows on all day long so we know what's happening in the world of sports and entertainment, the walls are painted in sports team colors, and of course, there are Fatheads everywhere. How's that sound for a Top Work Place?

We hope this gives you some insight into Fathead. We have some Real.Big. plans for the future and we’re inviting you along for the ride so check back often or join Fathead Nation so we can keep you in the loop!
