Pick Your Overall Setup

There are two attractive lobby sign designs that the majority of clients pick out: dimensional letters or logo boards. Dimensional letters are advantageous when you have a larger wall space that needs a focal point display. Logo boards make a tremendous impression when your wall space is narrow or the substrate itself is not as flat as you need it to be to accommodate the even presentation of letters. (That said, we could mount dimensional letters to a logo board; technically, you do not have to choose one or the other design if you do not want to.)

Select the Right Material

No matter which basic setup you choose, the material selection makes a big difference in the way you get your brand message across to the consumer.

• Metal. For the business that wants to present a stylish look with an air of sophistication, metal is the ideal material. Aluminum, stainless steel, bronze, and brass are just some of the options open to you. Flat-cut letters present with crisp edges that look professional.
• Acrylic. Translucent acrylic is a favorite choice for board clients. With a frosted vinyl overlay installed to the back, its looks heighten the attention to the lettering we mount to the front. Flat cut acrylic comes in a rainbow of colors and imbues your space with an atmosphere of creativity.
• PVC. Ideal for dimensional displays, PVC is a budget-friendly material that looks nice and is lightweight. Choose it for logo presentations.
• Sign foam. When you envision a dramatic staging, you cannot go wrong with foam. We can cut the material to depths of up to three inches, which – when properly illuminated – generate a fantastic shadow play. We can paint the foam, add acrylic or metal laminates, or install an imprinted vinyl overlay.

Alternative Lobby Signs that Pop, Too!

Although these are the standard products our clients like to choose when ordering lobby signs in Johns Creek GA, there is now a growing number of business owners who want something different. When standing out is the name of the game in your niche, we can help you with lobby signs that you do not usually see anywhere else. Cases in point are cast plaques. Opt for the metal that best suits your taste and have us create a sign that is highly unusual.

Another popular option is the use of vinyl graphics instead of a lobby sign. When incorporated with a mural, this signage solution not only pops but also makes a fantastic impact. Of course, when you are unafraid of being on the cutting edge of trendy, then lit signage, particularly channel letters, are the way to go. Sized for interior applications, these kinds of lobby markers have a definite wow factor.

When the Customer Expects Flat, Give Them 3D

The typical dimensional letter is a flat-cut product that fits flush to the wall. Your customers have likely been conditioned to expect this type of presentation. But when you want to go for the wow factor, give your client something different. The three-dimensional letter is a departure from the norm and brings sophistication as well as pizzazz to your lobby. In some cases, it also provides that in-your-face attitude that makes a brand stand out.

Choose a Material that Bespeaks Your Brand

Is your company a wooden kind of business or more a plastic type of firm? The sturdy nature that wood hints at is a great asset to a service establishment with an eye on having consumers transfer the material’s quality onto the brand. For an investment firm, metal letters hint at the longevity of the enterprise that would be of interest of clients. Software engineers, on the other hand, like to use plastic in its various forms to allow their creativity to shine through.

When the cost of the material might make your presentation fall flat, consider foam to be your go-to selection. Its lightweight qualities allow for impressive depths of up to three inches, and the option of adding metal or plastic laminates opens doors to the creation of the right branding message.

From Colorful Zing to Understated Elegance: Installations Matter, Too

Reaping the full benefits of 3D logo lobby signs in Alpharetta, GA, calls for an expert eye regarding the right type of installation as well.

Horizontal appeal. When Papa Murphy’s Pizza added its signature look to the walls of the eatery, it limited the vertical space for the display with a chair rail and a vinyl mural. Going lengthwise rather than upward was, therefore, the call of the hour. By placing the letters in between the two style elements with just a little preference giving to a height display, installers succeeded in branding the business, creating a visually pleasing image, and allotting plenty of space for the presentation.

Combinations work. Artiface’s dimensional letters could have fallen flat against the striped wallpaper background. By adding an artistic swirl in the form of a vinyl wall graphic, installers artfully avoided this problem and heightened the eye’s pleasure at taking in these dimensional letters.

Boards make great backdrops. When the wall is not an ideal substrate for your dimensional letter and logo combo, add a board to the mix. Select a color that provides a contrast to both the sign’s style elements and the wall. Hanging this board may actually increase the three-dimensional effect of the presentation by allowing for artful shadow displays.
