Creative hanging lobby signs using acrylic materials

Posted on January 16, 2013 | Posted by Murray Johns

Hanging lobby signs highlight a company's logo to create immediate and positive branding and recognition for customers as they are received into the company's lobby area.  Acrylic sign materials can be used in creative ways to enhance a company's lobby sign by adding color and dimension.

There are a variety of hanging and mounting solutions for company logo and lobby signs.  Lobby signs can be hung or attached to wall surfaces using attractive architectural display hardware such as stand-offs or other types of cable or rod display systems.

Acrylic can be used both as (1) the primary sign panel that gets "decorated" with the rest of a company's logo or corporate information as well as (2) precision components of a sign assembly.  The lobby signs shown in the photographs below use two types of clear acrylic as the primary sign panel.  The second sign uses a frosted type of acrylic for a matte, non-glare finish that can appear more upscale.

Acrylic can also be fabricated into letters and shapes for lobby signs using both laser cutting and routing processes.  Laser cuts typically have smoother and sometimes polished edges that are more true to the color of the face of the acrylic, while routed edges are typically rougher. In the photograph below, we show laser cut acrylic letters attached to a clear acrylic lobby sign panel.  Some of the acrylic components have been decorated with digitally printed vinyl to capture the colors of the company logo.

If standard acrylic colors won't satisfy a company or organization's brand color specifications, we can paint acrylic to custom colors including those within the Pantone Matching System.  The lobby signs pictured below both use custom painted acrylic sign components.
