If you want your business to attract attention, the exterior sign you choose needs to stand out amongst the competition. Dimensional signs are an effective choice that literally jumps off the wall to greet your customers. They add value to your business, attract clients and increase your traffic. While flat, two dimensional painted signs try to create the illusion of light, depth and shadow, dimensional signs deliver the real thing. Customers' first impressions will be one of professionalism and attention to detail when encountering a unique, dimensional exterior sign.
Dimensional signs can be made from a variety of materials that combined can create just the look you want to represent your company. Aluminum, stainless steel, acrylic formed letters, and painted medium density overlay (MDO), wood products are just some of the material choices available. Material choice is crucial to the success of giving your logo the prominence and look you are seeking.
Acrylic is a popular material for dimensional lettering because it comes in a variety of colors, but can also be painted to create gradient or other effects. MDO also can be painted to achieve one of a kind effect. Stainless steel produces a clean crisp impression, while aluminum can be polished or brushed to soften the reflective glare. Aluminum is available anodized or in gold, silver or black. A variety of wood products are also available to produce dimensional letters with an earthier, warm feeling. Whatever the feel and tone of your business, there is a material or combination of materials that can effectively get your message across. Whether you choose wood, metal or plastic, dimensional letters and signs take signage to the next level and can make your logo really come to life.
Once you've chosen a material and colors for your sign you'll want to consider the method of production. Letters and graphics can be carved from, or routered from wood, metal, or acrylic. Channel lettering is popular and can be fabricated from aluminum and then painted.
Dimensional letters can be stud mounted flush to the wall or standoff mounted with spacers to bring the letter or graphic off the wall. Another option is high bond tape which is made for outdoor use and can be used in some applications. Depending on the mounting method, dimensional signs and letters can be lit in a number of ways. Front lighting is typical for flush mounts, while backlighting a standoff mounted sign can produce a wonderful effect. Energy efficient LED lighting can be used in many applications and is especially effective on channel letters.
When you choose dimensional signs or lettering you will help your customers identify your property while creating a fantastic first impression.
