Confused about Custom Lobby Signs? This guide will help you know where to start. Have you always admired some lobbies more than others, but could never figure out what set them apart and made them look more professional? Well, it is the sophisticated and polished look lobby signs give off. They need to be customized to reflect your brand. There are a few factors to take into consideration when choosing a lobby sign: The Material You Want You could opt for letters and logos made out of metal or acrylic and also add a metallic or acrylic base if you like. But which one should you go for? Let’s break it down. Metal: It’s often based on the industry you are in. Accountant Offices and Law firms often use Metal for their lobby signs because they signify credibility and reliability to their clients. Alternatively, aluminum, bronze, and stainless steel are also used. Acrylic: Acrylic has quite a bit of diversity. You could opt for just acrylic letters or have letters on a clear acrylic panel, or have a vinyl decal on top of an acrylic panel which can then be installed with metal hardware (standoffs). Can I Use a Vinyl Decal? People often wonder if they can just add a vinyl decal directly to the wall. You can definitely do that, but it would be a two-dimensional image without depth and allure. A 3D lobby sign attracts the customer. The Cost The cost is dependent on a few factors. Some of them are the design, material, the size you opt for, and the height and installation surface. There are various options, and you will always find something to fit your budget. Approving Designs Proof drawing is important in this whole process. It helps you visualize the design before it goes through production, and you can make any changes you like. The changes could be to the color, size, and placement. Approval of a proof drawing is a stringent quality check that sign companies adhere to. Once you approve the proof drawing, production begins. The Time Required The sign company designs, produces, and installs it for you, and it could take between 2-6 weeks. You can speed up the process by providing artwork or your vision, the design approval, and the down payment on time.
