You’ll find Athletes in Motion at 480 West Lambert Road. Working with athletes between the ages of 10 through the end of college to guide the unfolding of their careers, the youngsters receive substantial training in biomechanics, baseline performance goal setting, and preparation for entering the competitive field of college scholarship searches based on athletics. When the business opened its new venue, its management team contacted us to handle the creation of a sign and graphics for sports fitness facilities in Brea CA. After meeting with our client, we received the order for two products: a lobby sign and a wall wrap.
Designing, Manufacturing, and Installing Lobby Signage and Wall Graphics
The lobby sign consists of dimensional letters that incorporate the logo aspect of the facility. We used a brushed metal appearance for the abbreviation itself and a blue tone for the logo part. The lettering underneath displays in blue to match the logo.
The wall graphic project was a bit more involved. For starters, the wall was heavily textured, which makes basic product adhesion impossible. Because we always test before the actual installation date, this development did not come as a surprise to the client. Instead, we needed a primer application for the wall, which would then allow us to apply a cast wrap vinyl product to make the display possible. The final layout now features a visually attractive display of the corporate name and logo with 3D elements.
Taking the Surprise out of a Project
A client dislikes few things more than getting bad news at the last minute. For this reason, we never skimp on a site survey. At that time we take measurements, verify the availability of access (in the case of channel letters), determine the best mounting options for lobby signs, and test that walls are well suited for vinyl adhesion when working with graphics. Some sign makers skip these steps, and the client may be in for unwelcome surprises.
Because we took the time to run a 3M wall adhesion test, we could ensure that the surface would undergo proper preparation. Also, we could use the right material for the project, which prevents premature adhesive failure, peeling, and bubbling. By doing the work at the front end of a project, our experts ensure that the entire job runs smoothly and the client does not get unwelcome surprises that may jeopardize the business owner’s vision of the finished product.
Deciding on the Right Signage Components
Although we routinely work with clients to put together sign packages for new companies in a broad range of fields, there is still the understanding that some marker requirements do not crop up until you are starting operations. For example, the repeat wayfinding questions your reception area staff receives hint at the need for a signage product that takes the guesswork out of navigating your setting.
