Key Design Considerations
- Wall texture and finish: contrasting letter colors against dark accent walls, shiplap, or stone
- Reception lighting: positioning letters relative to ceiling downlights or wall sconces to eliminate unwanted glare
- Mounting surface integrity: locating interior wall studs or using specialized hollow-wall expansion anchors
- Scale and proportion: sizing the logo to occupy roughly 50-65% of the reception desk wall width
Materials & Weather Resistance
- Solid aluminum sheet or cast bronze
- Cast acrylic up to 1-inch thick with flame-polished edges
- Brushed stainless steel mounting studs and spacers
- Paint color matched to your brand colors

Frequently Asked Questions
How are lobby signs mounted without visible screws?
Most dimensional letters use threaded metal studs set into pre-drilled holes on the back of each letter. We drill matching holes into your drywall using a precision paper template and secure the studs with architectural silicone, leaving the front face completely clean and fastener-free.
Can you match our exact brand colors?
Yes. We mix paint to match your brand colors, including Pantone, Sherwin-Williams, or Benjamin Moore codes.
What if our office is in a leased space and we might move later?
For leased office spaces, acrylic standoff plaques are an outstanding option. The entire sign mounts using just 4 or 6 small anchor holes. If you relocate in the future, the plaque unscrews easily and can be re-hung at your new location with minimal drywall patching.
