Size the sign for the actual room
Send a straight-on photo of the reception wall and a wider photo showing furniture, doorways, and lighting. We plan the visual center around the finished room, not simply the empty wall. Small logo details may need adjustment for fabrication or viewing distance. A simple scaled layout helps compare sizes before committing to a physical sign.
Compare individual letters with a panel
Individual dimensional letters let paint, stone, wood, or another architectural finish show through. A panel provides a controlled background when the wall is visually busy or when the logo needs a clean contrast field. Layered construction can add depth without relying on an oversized sign. Material samples help compare matte, gloss, metallic, and painted finishes in the real lighting.
Make the installation approach part of the design
Wall construction affects attachment. Tell us whether the surface is drywall, tile, glass, masonry, or decorative cladding and whether drilling is restricted. Concealed mounting and removable panel systems have different requirements. If you are considering illumination, include the power location and access information so the design does not depend on an impractical electrical route.
Coordinate the lobby with nearby touchpoints
A logo behind reception works better when the entry door, visitor instructions, meeting-room labels, and directory use the same visual language. Keep the brand mark separate from information likely to change. On an occupied hospitality or office property, confirm the installation window, noise restrictions, and responsibility for moving furniture before scheduling.
What to send for pricing
Share a vector logo, preferred overall width, photos, wall dimensions, finish preferences, target date, and the site address. Materials, letter depth, finish, mounting method, lighting, and access affect the price. If you are comparing a flat panel with dimensional construction, ask for both to be described clearly so the proposals can be compared on the same basis.

A few useful answers.
Can you make the sign from our existing logo?+
Usually the starting point is your approved vector artwork. Fine details and small lettering may need fabrication adjustments, which should be approved before production.
Can a lobby sign be moved to a new office?+
Some panel and mounting choices are easier to relocate than individual letters. Tell us if relocation is a likely requirement before the mounting system is selected.
Will a photo show the exact final material finish?+
A rendering helps with scale and layout. Physical samples are more useful for evaluating reflection, texture, and finish under your room lighting.
