The Hangout will open soon. It is an arcade-style location that also features activities such as an indoor golf simulator and similar games. Before the venue could open its doors, the management team asked our shop to create the building signage using laser-cut acrylic letters in Berkeley Heights, NJ.
Combining HDU with Acrylic for a Budget-Friendly Building Sign
The client was looking for a way to feature the company’s brand message and introduce the incoming business to the community. We visited the location for a site survey and determined that three-dimensional letters with a support structure right behind them would be the best type of building sign.
To save money, we fabricated the individual pieces using high-density urethane (HDU) that we cut into the needed shapes. Next, we clad the 3D letters with laser-cut acrylic at a depth of a half inch. By mounting it directly on the HDU, it boosts the unique nature of the sign. It heightens the three-dimensional visual appeal that differs from the secondary lettering to the side of the signage board.
The finished product is an attractive sign that perfectly encapsulates the brand message, attracts attention, and generates name recognition.
Popular Uses for Laser-Cut Acrylic Letters
We have already discussed using three-dimensional laser-cut acrylic letters for the building sign. Mounting them to a backing works well and lets them stand up on the end of an overhand. If you have an uninterrupted facade, we can fabricate flat-cut acrylic letters that install flush to the wall.
If you want to go for greater depths, we recommend using sign foam. We can add the acrylic as a laminate. It gives the illusion that the letters are made from the more expensive material in their entirety.

By the way, you do not have to limit yourself to the building sign when buying laser-cut acrylic letters. Numerals, for example, are ideal when you want to include the street address or at least the number on the building itself. On campuses with multiple addresses, the numerals also come in handy when you want to number the sites, which helps first responders.
Which Color is Right for Your Building Sign?
The immediate response would be to use the corporate color palette you have already used. However, taking this approach is not the only option. For example, consider the dramatic displays that high-contrast colors such as black and white could bring to a facade. While they may not be your brand colors, they could differ so much from the facade’s color that they turn heads. Your font and logo then provide the branding.
