The instant the visitors step into the building, their perception is already being shaped. The front desk, the lights, the colors, and, yes, the lobby sign. It is one of the first things visitors see, and it quietly establishes the tone for their entire stay.
At Be Bold Sign Studio, we design and install custom hotel lobby signs for hotels across the Sterling, VA, region. If you run a boutique hotel or a large hotel chain, your lobby sign should be a clear and professional expression of your brand.
What Makes a Good Lobby Sign?
It is not only your name on the wall. A well-designed lobby sign is elegant, readable, and tailored to the aesthetics of your location. It is the kind of attention to detail visitors remember when everything else is going according to plan.
Things to consider:
- Size And Placement: Should be eye-catching but not dominating the room
- Font And Colors: They should be aligned with your brand standards
- Materials: Choose substrates that complement your decor and lights
- Mounting: From flush mount to standoff hardware, the details matter
If your lobby is modern and upscale, a clean-lined acrylic or metallic sign will be the most suitable. In warmer, country-themed hotels, a stacked wood sign can bring warmth and character.
Common Hotel Lobby Sign Materials
We stock a wide variety of substrates for signage that will suit any style, brand, and budget. Some of the most common substrates for hotel lobbies include:
Acrylic
One of the most popular choices for a clean, modern look. Acrylic signs can be frosted, colored, or clear. They can be lit up and can be created with vinyl overlays or dimensional letters.
Metal
If strength and sophistication are what you seek, then metal is the ideal choice. Brushed aluminum, stainless steel, and bronze finishes give your lobby a sophisticated, durable touch.
PVC and Foam Core
These function well for depth without weight. PVC can be painted or vinyl-wrapped for vibrant color. Foam core offers depth and is ideal for big letters and logos.
Wood
Wood brings a natural element into the room. From reclaimed furniture to stained hardwood, this is the best choice for boutique-style or country-style hotels.
Glass
Less common but incredibly eye-catching, glass signs offer a sophisticated, artistic appeal. They pair well with etching, backlighting, or subtle color treatments.
We can help you choose the right material for your area so that everything will be cohesive and on-brand.
