Hodges, Loizzi, Eisenhammer, Rodick & Kohn LLP defined its areas of practice as school, municipal, and park district law. To assist clients in need of representation and offer convenience simultaneously, the firm opened two offices, one in Lombard and one in Oak Brook. The management team contacted Vital Signs USA to design, produce, and install their acrylic panel lobby signs for law firms.
An Acrylic Panel Logo Board Underscores the Firm’s Brand Message
For this project, the client selected acrylic that our technicians cut into a rectangle. Next, we added frosted vinyl to the back of the material. It gives the acrylic a chic presentation that creates the ideal backdrop for the addition of 3D letters. These letters spell the law firm’s name and feature an attractive polished metal finish.
The final step was the installation. Technicians used brushed aluminum standoffs that look classy, draw attention to the metallic good looks of the lettering, and create just a little space between the space and the wall to allow for ideal color contrast. When the lighting is just right, it enables the acrylic to reflect illumination, which is a great way to catch visitors’ attention to the office.
Combining a Logo Board with 3D Letters? We Do That!
More and more clients opt to feature both aspects. This is a decisive step away from the board with imprinted lettering. Another consideration is the selection of mixed media. Our shop routinely combines acrylic panels with acrylic or metallic letters. In the same way, we can put acrylic on metal boards, too. In these cases, clients might opt for push-through letters illuminated from the back with LEDs.
In fact, lighted lobby signs are gaining in popularity. They allow business owners to create stunning centerpieces on their focal walls. Moreover, light emanating from the lobby sign immediately turns the product into a head-turner. When working with acrylic boards, we recommend placing the LEDs behind the edges of painted panels, allowing for attractive edge lighting.
Which Type of Lobby Sign is Right for You?
Is a panel the right option for you? Would you prefer three-dimensional letters? Combining the two, as we outlined, is also a possibility. The standard thickness for acrylic or metal is less than an inch. Quarter and half-inch panels or letters are standard. However, if you like the idea of going deeper, we recommend sign foam. It allows for the fabrication of letters with depths of up to three inches.
Foam is a fantastic option for the business that wants to use the lobby sign as a means for playing with light and shadows. We can paint the material in your custom colors or add acrylic or metallic laminates. We might use imprinted vinyl overlays to create this presentation if you are looking for gradient color changes.
