The City of Los Alamitos operates a community center at 10911 Oak Street. Anyone can rent the facility for meetings, special events, and private parties. Visitors are greeted by an attractive facility that features wood flooring as a wall covering for a unique visual effect. All that was missing was a good-quality lobby sign. That is why our sign shop got a call from the Los Alamitos Community and Recreation Department.

3D Lobby Wall Sign Adds Pizzazz to Community Center Wall Space

We met with our client and visited the location to take measurements. Because durability was a primary consideration, we suggested the use of quarter-inch-thick acrylic. We painted the material white, which perfectly contrasts with the wooden wall covering. The details of the sign are easy to read but not so bold that they distract from the ambiance of the setting as a whole. Now the community center’s wall identifies the city and includes the tagline, “Creating Quality of Life.”

Why Add a Lobby Sign to Your Venue?

When talking about lobby signs, most people immediately think of an office’s reception area. However, this signage type is suitable for all kinds of businesses. Service providers such as lawyers and insurance agents need these markers as much as retailers, doctors, and community centers do. Consumers have come to expect this product as a sign of professionalism. When it is missing, it is a glaring omission in the eyes of the prospective client or customer. When done well, the sign creates an excellent first impression. It encapsulates your brand message and expresses it with artistic pizzazz. Create brand awareness through the pairing of your corporate name and logo. Ensure that consumers memorize your brand colors and font, which results in name recognition. Moreover, you allow for the development of brand recognition when you add a tagline or other mention of your product line or services menu.

Lobby Signage Options

Acrylic – either laser cut or in board form – is a favorite setup. Three-dimensional lettering catches the eye and makes good use of your wall space. But acrylic is not your only option. Another popular choice is metal. Brushed aluminum, in particular, is a favorite when dealing with service providers. When a through-and-through metal letter is too expensive, consider the investment in metal facings. They give the illusion of metal letters but only cost a fraction of what you would have to spend on them. Some businesses have begun to experiment with lobby sign add-ons. Examples include illumination of various types. A growing number of companies now features scaled-down channel letters on the inside, which complement their building signs. Others take the sophisticated route of having us hide LEDs behind acrylic boards, which results in a stunning halo effect. For many interior settings, this setup is a good option because it does not use a lot of space but capitalizes on the wall color to create an eye-catching visual effect.
