Modern Metal Logo Sign Brands VRAI
Did you know that VRAI originated as a spin-off from Ray Therapeutics? It is on the cutting edge of ophthalmic efficacy testing. The client needed a lobby sign that would expand on this brand message. Our technicians began with a brushed aluminum sheet to create the sign by routing out the larger lettering and logo. Next, we applied acrylic with printed graphics to the back of this sheet. For the smaller letters, we used quarter-inch-thick acrylic fastened to the sign’s face. Our installers mounted the finished product to the wall using brushed-aluminum standoffs. It is clear that the custom-designed dimensional wall logo sign gets attention and is fully brand-centric.
Is a Metal Lobby Sign Right for Your Business?
Our clients like metals such as aluminum, stainless steel, or brass because they convey permanence, making the materials ideal for customer-facing settings. Metal also appeals to clients who want a long-lasting lobby sign that does not warp, crack, or fade. The one-time investment lets the client focus on other marketing and branding avenues when these custom metal logo signs are in place.
Another advantage is the design versatility. Choose brushed, polished, matte, or painted metal. We can cut flat or three-dimensional letters and logo elements. There are also options for installation. Examples include standoffs or flush mounts.
The strong brand perception of stability, trustworthiness, and success easily compensates for the higher upfront cost (compared to foam letters and PVC). Our installers efficiently address concerns about the higher weight with expert wall mounting. Because of the upscale brand image that metal provides, you frequently see brushed metal lobby logos in medical offices, law firms, financial services offices, and real estate firms.
A Closer Look at Different Metals
We have established that metal is an excellent choice for a brand-focused lobby sign. But which metal works best? Again, you have options.
- Aluminum. Clients frequently select aluminum because it imbues a space with a clean, contemporary look at a lower cost. Besides that, it balances classy with formal.
- Stainless steel. More expensive than aluminum, it offers your location a premium, professional look that is luxurious and thoroughly modern.
- Brass. If you are looking for warmth and prestige, brass combines upscale aesthetics with timeless elegance. Allow the material to age and develop a gorgeous patina, or have us speed up the process and add the patina now.
