REASON 3 - YOU WILL APPEAR MORE INTERESTING

Lobby Signs/Reception Signs typically consist of corporate logos or simply the company name.  They look great and are usually faithful renditions of the corporate approved artwork and colors.  There are some companies that prefer to have a little more fun with their lobby signs.  Interesting additions can be lighting, unusual backer panels, non-standard materials or motion.

3D Acrylic Logo Lobby Sign 

Lighting your lobby sign can have a dramatic impact on its impact.  Typically, lobby signs are illuminated by the existing lights in the lobby or are illuminated by spot lights in the ceiling.  More interesting lighting can be push-through acrylic letters that have light coming out the face or the sides of the letters.  Lighting can also come out of the rear of the sign delivering a halo effect behind the letters.  With the variety of color and sizes of LED lights, there are many creative ways they can be incorporated into lobby signs.

Unusual backer panels can vary from old wood to sheet metal to exotic acrylic panels.  Natural wood can provide an outdoor look to an indoor sign.  The wood can be flat and finished or sandblasted to provide more texture.  Metal backers can be materials with lots of holes or all the way to a grate-like material.  These provide a more modern industrial look.  Acrylic panels can have dramatic colors and textures.  You don’t want the background to overwhelm the foreground, but it doesn’t have to be dull either.

Logo on Wood 

Some of the same materials used for backers can be used to make the letters or logos: natural wood, industrial metals, colorful or textured acrylic, etc.  Some of the materials that are used in interior designs, especially in kitchens, cross over to the sign world.   Materials used for back splashes, countertops, cabinet faces and floor coverings can all be incorporated into signs.
