Located at 201 East Sandpointe Avenue, Rencata is a software enterprise that emphasizes the development of custom network infrastructure for customers. When the firm needed a custom 3D lobby logo sign in Orange County CA, its management team contacted our sign shop.
Sign Foam is the Ideal Building Block for an Impressive Lobby Sign
After consulting with our client and taking measurements, we created the sign’s style elements by using one-inch-thick Gatorfoam. This product is a durable material that is easy on the budget. Most importantly, it is ideally suited for painting. Our technicians applied a black coat of paint and then added brushed metal faces. This gives the marker an upscale look and adds plenty of pizzazz to the lobby.
Which Material is a Good Option for a Logo Sign?
Budgetary concerns and design constraints typically determine the selection of the material.
- Acrylic. This material starts as a transparent sheet. Our technicians use it to create lettering or logo boards. Some clients like us to apply imprinted vinyl overlays whereas others ask for the addition of dimensional letters.
- Metal. As is the case with acrylic, metal is suitable for logo boards, lettering, or both. Choose from aluminum, stainless steel, bronze, or brass. Some clients request cast metal plaques, which create an elegant presentation.
- Sign foam. For the business with a close eye on the budget, foam is a good option. That said, it is also a favorite of the company that wants to create a dramatic presentation. With thicknesses of up to three inches, our team can put together dramatic presentations for your lobby.
Choose How to Mount Your Signage
The majority of clients ask for a wall mount. We install the style elements flush to the wall. Doing so creates a minimal shadow play, which boosts the impressive nature of the lobby sign. Of course, there are other options, too.
For example, consider using standoffs. Doing so gives the appearance that the lettering floats above the wall’s surface. Heighten this impression by aiming spotlights at the sign. Another choice involves the use of airplane cables. Avant-garde businesses like to hang their signage from the ceiling or wall with these metal cables. It creates a stunning visual display.
Is There a “Perfect” Lobby Sign?
Customization is the critical component of any good-quality sign. A product that looks fantastic in the offices of Rencata might be all wrong for your location. The trick here is the expert encapsulation of your brand message. Our graphic artist can help you determine how to do so.
It starts with the selection of the material. Next, we discuss the finish. High-gloss or matte finishes make a tremendous difference in the expression of the signage. Most importantly, there is the question of appropriate sizing and possible illumination. More and more business owners now opt for lobby signs that contain LED components.
Whether you need a custom 3D lobby logo sign, logo board, or any other type of reception area signage product, we can help. Contact us today to talk about the options.
