Three Dimensional Letters & Business Logo Signs

DIMENSIONAL SIGNAGE FOR BRAND AWARENESS OR A TOUCH IDENTITY

CUSTOM 3D LETTERING AND LOGOS AID IN WAYFINDING IN OFFICES, RETAIL SPACES, AND OUTDOOR SIGNAGE

Dimensional lettering refers to letters or characters that have a three-dimensional (3D) quality, adding depth and texture to the text. Unlike traditional flat signage, dimensional lettering stands out from the surface it's mounted on, creating a more impactful and eye-catching effect. Dimensional lettering adds a professional and dynamic element to signage and branding, making it more noticeable and engaging.

3D Effect: Dimensional letters project out from the wall or surface, giving them a raised or sculptural appearance. This depth can range from a slight protrusion to a significant elevation.
Materials: They can be made from a variety of materials, including acrylic, metal, wood, foam, or PVC. Each material can be finished or painted to achieve different looks and effects.
Applications: Dimensional lettering is commonly used in a variety of settings, such as business signs, storefronts, lobby displays, and wayfinding systems. It can also be used in indoor and outdoor environments.
Customization: The letters can be custom-designed to match specific fonts, styles, and sizes, and can be illuminated or non-illuminated depending on the desired effect.
Visual Impact: The 3D nature of dimensional lettering enhances readability and visual interest, making it stand out more than flat or 2D signage.

WHY MIGHT YOU WANT DIMENSIONAL LETTERING OR GRAPHICS?

Dimensional graphics and lettering are used by companies to enhance visibility, improve brand recognition, and create a professional and engaging appearance in various contexts.

A company might use dimensional graphics or lettering for several purposes:

Branding and Identity: To create a strong visual presence and reinforce brand identity. Dimensional lettering can make a company’s name or logo more memorable and distinctive.
Signage: For exterior and interior signs, such as on the facade of a building, in lobbies, or within office spaces. Dimensional graphics help catch the eye and enhance visibility.
Wayfinding: To guide customers, clients, or employees through a building or complex. Dimensional lettering can be used on directory boards, room numbers, or directional signs to improve navigation.
Retail Displays: In stores, dimensional graphics can be used to highlight promotions, new products, or sales, drawing attention to specific areas of the store.
Trade Shows and Exhibitions: To create striking and memorable booth displays. Dimensional lettering can help a company stand out in a crowded exhibition space.
Events and Promotions: For special events, launches, or seasonal campaigns. Dimensional graphics can add a dynamic element to event signage and decorations.
Corporate Offices: To enhance the aesthetic of office interiors, create a professional look, or communicate the company’s values and mission through decorative elements.
Reception Areas: To make a strong first impression with visitors by using dimensional graphics to display the company name, logo, or a welcome message.
Awards and Recognition: For trophies, plaques, or other awards, dimensional lettering can add a sophisticated and elegant touch.

WHICH FONTS WORK BEST FOR 3D DIMENSIONAL LETTERING?

3D lettering comes in many different widths, ranging from a quarter of an inch thick to two inches thick or more.

More standardized fonts usually work best for these projects.

Sans-serif and serif fonts that do not have tiny strokes work well. Cursive lettering is tricky to produce, but we can make adjustments to make it work.

HOW IS 3D LETTERING INSTALLED?

Each set of 3 dimensional lettering comes with a printed template that is used for installing. This is necessary so that the letter spacing is exact.

The template is taped on the surface of the install location, then drilled into or adhered onto the surface.

3D pieces can be offset from the wall using spacers if desired. Otherwise, we generally install flush to the wall surface.

Installing 3d lettering is permanent. If you want to change the lettering, the wall will need to be refinished after removal. If it is being installed on the exterior of a building, a permit may be required.
