Making Signs You Will Love

When you need to choose new signage for the interior of your building, there are all sorts of materials to consider. One material that many sign companies have available is acrylic. It offers a modern, sleek look that can work well for many different signs, from large signs in your lobby that feature your company's name and logo to smaller signs in the hallways that help with navigation. When you're getting ready to place your order, one thing that you'll have to decide is exactly how you want your acrylic signs to look. Here are three styles that are commonly available.

Clear

A lot of people choose to have clear acrylic signs in their building. This look can work well for numerous reasons. If you'll be mounting a particular sign on a wall that has a stylish finish — for example, a brick or stone veneer — choosing clear acrylic will allow the wall to be visible through the sign instead of covered. Additionally, clear acrylic material will help the logo or the wording on the sign to really stand out, given how the rest of the sign will barely be visible. This can make it seem as though the logo or wording is floating in front of the wall, which is a stylish visual effect.

Frosted

Another option that may appeal to you is to choose frosted acrylic for your building's signage. The frosted finish partially prevents the wall behind the sign from being visible, which may be appealing if you're not particularly keen on the look of the wall. Some people mount small lights behind frosted acrylic signs, which will cause the sign to have a soft glow that helps to accentuate its content.

Colored

If you want to go in a completely different direction, you may wish to consider colored acrylic signs. Many sign companies that carry acrylic signage have all sorts of different colors available. A stylish option is to choose a color that relates to your business. For example, if you have a gray logo and you frequently use red in your branding, you might want a red acrylic sign with a grey logo printed on it. Colored acrylic signage stands out a lot more than clear and frosted designs, which can be good when you want to ensure that people in your building don't miss certain signs.
