We recently had the opportunity to work with Leland Law. After opening a new office, the law firm needed new signage, including a brushed metal lobby logo sign in Whittier, CA. After receiving the company’s details for a color palette and font presentation, our technicians went to work.
We fabricated a lobby sign using black PVC with a brushed metal face. Besides that, we were able to do window decals and some A-frame signs. These interior and exterior signs work together to advertise the office’s location and create a brand-focused display.
What is Brushed Metal?
Most times, our clients favor brushed aluminum. It is durable, has a contemporary look, and immediately draws attention. Depending on your preference, we use 3 mm aluminum made up of two metal sheets that envelop a polyethylene core. The treatment of the aluminum’s surface prevents the reflective look of highly polished metal.
In this way, the metal mimics the stunning beauty of stainless steel but without a hefty price tag. In addition, because aluminum is ideal for a wide variety of signage products, it is possible to use the material for lobby signs and the fabrication of suite signs, wayfinding signs, and building signs.
Standoff Installation is the Most Popular Way of Mounting Brushed Metal Signs
Standoffs look chic and let us install the lobby sign on virtually any type of wall. It does not matter if it is heavily textured, made up of lumber, or features bricks with different depths. Most clients select round standoffs that also have a brushed aluminum finish.
However, you do not have to limit yourself to this look. The standoffs also come with tops featuring a wide variety of shapes and colors. If you have been thinking of incorporating more of your color palette, the standoffs could be the right option. Just as with the brushed aluminum sign, the standoffs also do not fade or rust.
How to Buy Your Next Lobby Sign
When you have decided that brushed metal is the way to go, you can make a few choices.
- Shape. Which shape is right for your business? Do you favor a square, rectangle, or circle? The rectangle is by far the most popular selection. However, it is also possible to customize the shape of the sign. If you focus on logo presentations rather than lettering, our technicians will use the router to get the display just right.
- Installation. We have already discussed the use of standoffs for installing the lobby signs. If you want to feature the product as a suite sign on a window, we recommend using a specialty tape strip. Drilled holes with small caps are great for the business owner who wants a flush mount.
- Design options. Another reason why brushed metal lobby logo signs in Whittier are so popular is the option of incorporating style elements in a variety of different colors. We can imprint the material, add vinyl overlays, or install 3D letters. Similarly, if you like the look of brushed metal but prefer individual letters, we can switch things around and fabricate an acrylic panel sign with brushed aluminum letters.
