What finishes are available for metal sign letters and metal logos?

Posted on June 04, 2012 | Posted by Murray Johns

The availability of many different metal finishes provide the custom dimensional logo sign designer with some creative and attractive options. These options range from a simple clear coat to anodized or painted colors and include brushed and polished finishes. There are several options to chose from when designing a new dimensional logo sign. The combination of contrasting finishes and unique substrates can be used to formulate a one-off, unique custom logo sign for direct mounting to a wall or attached to the face of a panel and stood off the wall it is to be displayed on.

Aluminum, for example, can be finished in several custom finishes.  These include natural brushed clear, powdercoating, and anodizing options that allow you to compliment different design elements in your office, conference room, or reception area.  Using these unique colors, you can keep the continuity of colored metals thoughout your facility and integrate them into your custom metal logo sign, for a well thought-out, attractive sign option that shows both elegance and professionalism.

Other metals, such as copper, brass, bronze, and stainless steel can also be used to make attractive dimensional letters and logo signs. These metals are more of a specialty substrate that create a distinctive look.  Using these metals allows the custom sign fabricator to mix and match different finishes to create a unique dimensional sign and to apply the various shades of metals to complement each design or letter element in the logo sign.

In order to achieve a particular corporate brand color specification, metals can also be painted referencing the Pantone Matching System. Using similar technology used in automotive finishes, a base primer is layed down first, and then a custom mixed or standard paint color is put on to each letter or custom logo, and finished off with a clearcoat, for bright, brilliant, urethane-based paint that is strong and chip resistant. You can mix and match paint colors with the above natural metal colors, and create a beautiful display out of your logo, front and center, in your lobby, conference room, or office.
