Choosing dimensional letters and logos for your premises is a great idea! These signs are extremely customizable and able to incorporate all elements of the brand. Dimensional signage can be extremely eye-catching too, but that depends on their design. Our design team works with business owners and office managers looking for indoor dimensional lettering. We provide lots of templates to inspire and give helpful hints for incorporating branding. Keep reading to find our top 5 tips for creating attractive dimensional signs.
1. Make Indoor Dimensional Lettering Memorable
Indoor signage gives you the latitude to design whatever you want without concern for planning permits or having to worry too much about visibility. Start off by creating designs that are instantly memorable. Ask yourself “Will my patrons remember the sign after they have left?”
Whether the sign will be placed in an office lobby or the dining room of a restaurant, it needs to be attention-grabbing. It should be aligned with the theme of your business too.
2. Indoor Dimensional Lettering Needs to Match the Motif
Signs that are too distinct from the décor, ambiance, and industry-standard are unlikely to be well-received. First, a sign that doesn’t match can clash with colors, fonts, and lighting in the space. Second, people expect signs to reflect the type of business and will find an unsuited sign jarring.
We make our three-dimensional letters out of a variety of materials for customers. Little things like this help you tailor your sign to exactly what you want, rather than be stuck with a standard sign.
3. Location, Location, Location
Any sign indoor or outdoor is only as good as its location. Dimensional letters and logos make for an attention-grabbing sign and you need to find the right location for it. Entrances, common employee areas, and waiting rooms are just some examples of where you can place the sign. We would also suggest placing the sign by a storefront window that passers-by look into. That way, the sign will be far more effective at generating interest.
Backer panel
Is the color of your wall clashing with your sign? Does it reduce the sign’s contrast and legibility? Fear not, a backer panel can solve all. These act as a background to the sign, separating it physically and visually from the mounting surface. If you are planning on getting a lighted sign, panels can hide the electronics required too.
4. Keeping It Simple
Coming to the nitty-gritty of sign design: keep the message simple! Three to five words and a logo is what we would recommend at a maximum. This is not a sales banner and you are not promoting a discount. The shorter the message the more specific it is. Indoor dimensional lettering is about building a brand, and the messaging needs to be simple and universal.
5. Choosing the Right Material
We touched on choosing the right material in the construction of the sign before. The material you choose will affect how the sign looks, the kind of impression it gives, and how it will be affected by day-to-day wear and tear. Acrylic and glass give a contemporary look, while wood finish and metallic signs suggest solidity and tradition. Of course, there is no rule on material choice but we’d suggest making sure the material fits within the design.
Another factor is longevity. Signs that are going to be cleaned regularly or are expected to be splashed on should be made of a sturdier material.
