This is a year of transformational commercial signage trends. Lights are strong contenders – even on the interior. Colors are making a comeback. Brand building is hot like never before. What could this look like in and around your company’s property?
1. Shiny Metals for Lobby Signs Combine with 3D Letters and Color Differentiation
Gone are the days when all-metal was the standard. Today’s business owner is looking for ways to use the material and create eye candy with it. For example, a brushed metal lobby sign is still a favorite. However, now, it also features three-dimensional letters against a partially colored background. Something as simple as a black and white interruption of the metal is chic, sleek, and suitable for almost any business.
2. LEDs in Every Illuminated Sign for Energy Efficiency
It is also the year of the LED conversions. Companies have had enough with paying to maintain outdated technology. Moreover, they are looking for cost-effective ways to have their illumination on around the clock. Old-fashioned technology made this idea expensive. The advent of LEDs levels the playing field to allow even the smallest business to impact visually. Best of all, our technicians can quickly and easily do the LED conversion on your signage.
3. Putting Vibrant Colors Back into Exterior Signs
Another hot trend is the reintroduction of colors. If your corporate persona allows for the use of multiple tones, this is the year to put them on your monument, building, and window panes. Our business clients have had excellent success with painted PVC, sign foam, acrylic, and even metal. And, if you have gradient color changes, we can reproduce them with little more than an imprinted vinyl overlay for a different material. Even companies with few color changes are introducing hues that underscore their branding.
4. Branded Interior Window Graphics Using Etched Vinyl Film Go beyond Stripes
Lessen the fishbowl effect with custom window graphics. You already know that frosted and etched stripes, geometric shapes, and even corporate symbols are hot properties. However, this is the year when office managers and company owners are willing to look beyond the stripes. Fanciful images, colorful imprints, and similar shapes are now transforming the ways employees and customers interact with your branding.
5. Business Owners Present New Brand Interactions with Company Motto Wall Graphics and Lettering
Are you maximizing the use of the company’s interior walls? If you have not yet introduced mottos, sayings, and similar brand vignettes, you are not doing it right. Because these products are so budget-friendly, they are quickly eclipsing the corporate investment in generic wall art. Besides that, these wall graphics let you introduce color into otherwise nondescript environments.
