Interior lobby spaces, large or small, can be intimidating to customers, especially new ones. This makes quality lobby signs a very important commodity. One of the most versatile materials used for the numerous types of interior signs is acrylic. This article will demonstrate, through recent sign installations in the Tampa, Florida area, the variety of acrylic lobby signs’ looks and uses.
Aesthetics:
Acrylic material comes in clear or frosted, as well as in a vast color selection that includes metallic sheens. Because it is laser cut, acrylics are able to produce precision cut letters, numbers, and the most intricate of designs, resulting in beautiful signs with smooth edges. A simple acrylic base can be painted or layered with vinyl lettering. Metal trim and frames can be added to enhance a look, but because acrylics come in all sizes and thicknesses, they can also be layered or stacked to create unique designs and even include braille. This characteristic means that even a spiral tornado, multi colored flower petals or an outline of a tooth can be replicated beautifully. Unique logos and welcome signs in acrylic can be found all throughout the Tampa Bay area in many professional office lobbies and reception areas.
Uses:
An acrylic lobby sign can serve as a welcome sign, a business identifier and brand marker, among other things. These types of signs are usually found on the interior wall by an entrance, or hanging behind, in front of, or over, the reception desk. Another type of interior acrylic sign often found is a directional sign. These serve to show customers and visitors the way to stairs, restrooms, emergency exits and particular businesses, etc. They can consist of main directory signs, signs with directional arrows or individual suite signs. They are customer friendly, even if they are used as warning signs, (i.e. employees only, restricted access, etc.). An additional use is a partial or floor to ceiling divider that can be used for privacy or for sectioning off a space, such as in interview space, or children’s area.
Inherent in the acrylic product itself, no matter the practicality of the sign’s use, the end result is always pleasing to the eye. One recent Premier Signs of Tampa client demonstrates this with the new acrylic ADA suite signs just installed throughout their office building. They are made from clear acrylic that has been painted from the back and has dark, contrasting raised letters and numbers attached to the front with the corresponding raised braille. They have also used a metal accent strip that divides the name, or names, from the suite number and adds interest. Simple, professional and extremely helpful, while giving the whole building a cohesive aesthetic.
