When we first connected with SPACE, we assisted the client with a rebranding effort featuring an illuminated lobby sign. Our team returned recently when SPACE added a new partner and needed additional lobby signs to highlight this business. For this project, we created illuminated lobby signs and a black acrylic letters lobby sign in Scottsdale and Chandler, AZ.
A Closer Look at the Practical and Aesthetic Reasons for Selecting Black Acrylic Letters When Ordering a Lobby Sign
We have previously discussed the advantages that backlit lobby signs present to an office. This time, we want to take a closer look at why black acrylic lettering is such a popular choice for non-illuminated lobby signage. There is, of course, the timeless appearance. Black is universally seen as elegant, authoritative, and professional. When used in lobby signage, black acrylic letters convey a sense of stability, contemporary branding, and high-end display without being flashy. This combination endears the material and design to law firms, banks, real estate offices, and others.
Capitalizing on a High Contrast and Enhanced Visibility
Black provides excellent contrast when mounted against most common wall colors (white, light gray, beige, and blonde wood tones). It makes the letters easier to read from a distance. Concurrently, it ensures that your name and logo stand out in the lobby. No matter what your office’s lighting setup may be, black on light-colored walls always stands out. In lobbies, where signs are often the first impression a visitor has of the brand, nothing must obstruct legibility.
Black Acrylic is Versatile for Branding and Advertising, no Matter the Interior Decor
Black acrylic letters work well with a wide range of interior design styles and brand palettes. Whether a business has a bold, colorful logo or a minimalistic monochrome identity, black complements these tones rather than clashing with them. Acrylic has the advantage of being suitable for pairing with metal backings or accent lighting for added effects. Despite the elegant presentation and design options that acrylic brings to the table, the material allows logos and letters to remain the primary visual focus.
Acrylic is Durable and Budget-Friendly but Comes With a Premium Look
Acrylic letters, especially in black, strike the balance between affordability and a high-end appearance. For example, acrylic is less expensive than metal but still highly durable. The black color hides smudges, dust, and aging better than lighter or brighter colors. Importantly, acrylic allows you to choose the polished look of glass or metal without the increased weight or fragility. Not surprisingly, it is the material of choice for high-traffic lobby areas where signs need to look good for years to come.
