Choose depth, contrast and finish together
A polished surface behaves differently from a matte finish under ceiling lights. Clear acrylic can reveal the wall behind it; solid lettering can create a more direct silhouette. Compare the logo at its intended scale and include furniture, screens and adjacent doors in the layout so the sign feels placed with purpose.
Make the wall part of the brief
Send a straight-on photo and a wider room view, along with approximate wall dimensions. Identify the wall finish and any restrictions on drilling or adhesives. Confirm the logo artwork and color references before a proof is prepared, then review mounting and installation arrangements as part of the project scope.
Make your logo work in the space
A lobby sign should look right from the entrance and at the reception desk. Share a room photo, the wall width, the wall finish and your logo file. Dimensional letters, a logo on a panel and an illuminated treatment each create a different effect. Material, finish, size and mounting details shape both appearance and cost. We can discuss options around your space and budget, then confirm the proposed layout and installation requirements, including any building access or electrical coordination, before production.

A few useful answers.
How large should a lobby logo be?+
Start with a scaled layout that includes the wall, desk and typical viewing position. There is no useful one-size-fits-all answer.
Can a sign match my existing brand colors?+
Provide approved color references. Material and finish affect appearance, so review the proposed production approach and any sample needs.
What affects the cost of a lobby sign?+
The logo's size and complexity, materials, finish, letter depth, lighting and mounting method all matter. Wall condition and installation access can also affect the scope. A photo and approximate wall dimensions are a useful starting point for comparing options.
Should we use individual letters or a panel?+
Individual letters can emphasize dimension and the wall behind the logo. A panel can bring the complete design onto one backing surface. The better choice depends on the artwork, wall finish, desired appearance and mounting constraints. We can review both approaches before you decide.
