Motive Energy is a returning client. Previously, we had collaborated with this business on custom aluminum building letters, frosted glass graphics, and a monument sign refacing. The latest project involves a durable aluminum building sign in Anaheim, CA.
Motive Energy Rebrands and Needs to Adjust Its Signage Solutions
The business recently changed its logo. As a result, it was time to update the building sign. Our graphic artist worked with the client’s specs and translated them into hollow-back aluminum letters. While our technicians worked on fabricating the products, another crew removed the client’s foam sign and painted the space.
Our goal was to cover the old sign marks and years of dirt stains. With this step complete, we could then install the aluminum logo and lettering. Look closely; you will notice that they are three inches deep and painted black with a satin finish. These letters are attractive and look fantastic when they cast a shadow on the facade.
Working With Aluminum on More Than Only 3D Building Letters
Aluminum is a highly versatile material. It is a favorite for outdoor projects because it is impervious to insects and weather damage. A case in point is the aluminum building lettering we prepared for the County of Orange. We stud-mounted the letters to the facade, where they look great and assist visitors with wayfinding.
However, we have also brought aluminum to the inside. It is an excellent addition to mixed-media signage. A good example is the custom acrylic and brushed aluminum lobby logo sign we did for a law firm in Irvine. Clear acrylic serves as the panel to which we mounted three-dimensional brushed aluminum letters. It is an elegant display solution.
Of course, brushed aluminum looks sophisticated on its own. An engineering firm in L.A. wanted to display its logo prominently in the lobby. Brushed aluminum was the ideal solution and also allowed for a stunning contrast to the dark blue wall color.
Other Metal Options When Considering Signage
While a durable aluminum building sign in Anaheim is one choice, you have more options open to you. Cor-Ten Steel presents with a weathered look that creates a fantastic display for the business with a matching brand message. Conversely, stainless steel is elegant, rivals the good looks of aluminum, and can be polished to instantly draw the eye.
By the way, if you love gold or aged copper but do not want to spend the money it takes to transform the material into a building sign, consider (once again) aluminum. Our technicians can paint this metal to mimic the great looks of the much more expensive metals.
