League (NFL) selected identification software developed by ImageWare to design and print secure ID badges for Super Bowl XXXVII on January 26th in San Diego, California.

The NFL will use ID Card Maker(TM), a software solution developed by ImageWare for Polaroid Corporation, to create digital credentials for NFL officials, the media and others, that will provide them restricted access to secure areas during the game. This agreement was concluded through New York-based Idesco Corporation, an authorized Polaroid distributor and systems integrator.

“Idesco’s Super Bowl project is another example of the outstanding service bureau work and products that Polaroid’s Authorized Quality Identification Dealers are able to provide end users both large and small. Idesco is a great example of the strength of the Polaroid ID dealer network and their abilities,” commented Jim Landrigan, Polaroid’s vice president world-wide commercial marketing.

“Public concerns about security at large venues is at an unprecedented high,” said Jim Miller, ImageWare’s chairman and CEO. “Ensuring that only authorized NFL personnel and agents are granted access to restricted areas via a photo ID badge goes a long way in enhancing the safety and security of a heavily-populated event.”
