The display of 3D letter signs has the potential of giving your company’s visual appeal a boost. In some cases, it can make the difference between presenting your venue as a viable competitor or being the best choice hands-down. Which would you prefer?

What Makes a Three-dimensional Sign so Effective?

For starters, a 3D sign takes advantage of product combinations to jut out from the wall. Next, it incorporates shadow play in its overall presentation to make a striking impression. But what takes the display from nice-looking to becoming eye candy is the finish work on the material. For example, did you know that dimensional letters featuring a brushed aluminum finish present a surface with just enough texture to be a magnet for the attention of onlookers?

Examples of 3D Signs

• Exterior building signs. Choose dimensional letters that stand out from the façade of your building. Typical material selections include metal, acrylic, and outdoor-rated sign foam. Our clients have had excellent success with the use of two tones of paint: one for the facings and one for the returns. Combine the lettering with design elements for the business’ logo presentations. Doing so adds a creative touch that further calls attention to the substantial nature of the marker. Typically, three-dimensional building signs rely on façade lighting for illumination.
• Dimensional letter lobby signs. We recommend the display of wall-mounted dimensional letters when there is a lot of wall space to work with. Because we can adjust the spacing between the letters to ensure a presentation that takes full advantage of the wall dimensions, even tough to work with surfaces look great. Metal, acrylic, PVC, and indoor-rated foam are excellent materials to consider. Typically, firms in the financial and legal sectors tend to gravitate toward metal signs while physicians, software engineers, and others prefer acrylic.
• Logo board signs. When you want to go for the gusto with a 3D lobby sign, consider the use of an acrylic board, which we use as the substrate for the installation of dimensional letters. Next, we mount the sign with standoffs, which further enhances the three-dimensional presentation of the marker. This choice is excellent for office settings with limited wall space but also for business owners who like to present signage as works of art. If using standoffs is not something that appeals to you, or if you would like to explore a ceiling-mounted presentation, we recommend airplane cables as one alternative that adds chic and offers a visual you just do not see every day.

Why Think Small When You Can Go Big?

Do not underestimate the power of a well-designed three-dimensional building or wall marker. Not only does it succeed at getting attention, but it also highlights that your company is the one with the pizzazz. When compared to other signage solutions of a nearby competitor, standing out – literally and figuratively – is an excellent method for having consumers base their buying decisions simply on the impression you make.
