The Carbon 6 Salon operates an attractive venue. The owner hired us to create a dimensional lobby sign that would make a statement and highlight the salon’s brand. Because color play is a significant component of the company’s work and branding, we suggested focusing on the hues with custom Gatorfoam letters in Chandler, AZ.
What is Gatorfoam?
What sets Gatorfoam apart from other foam boards is the material’s rigidity. At the same time, it is lightweight and perfectly resistant to moisture, which is a massive plus in a salon setting. Moreover, the material does not bend over time because a firm polystyrene interior is placed between sheets of a wood-fiber compound.
Using Gatorfoam for Signs in Contemporary Business Settings
Its versatility makes Gatorfoam an appealing material for signage construction.
- Decorative. Some clients ask us to prepare wall art with brand-focused colors and shapes. We like to use Gatorfoam because we can directly imprint it with UV ink, creating bold hues and crisp lines.
- Panels. Of course, we can also turn these foam boards into functional messages for your customers. Examples include point-of-sale signs, price lists, and menu boards. We can shape the panels to fit in perfectly with your interior decor.
- Letters. In this case, we fashioned three-dimensional letters for Carbon 6 Salon that perfectly follow the business’ font. They jut out from the wall, ensuring they immediately catch the attention of anyone entering the location.
3D Letters for a Lobby Sign with Gradient Color Changes
We have already mentioned the importance of the color palette. The client’s brand consists of gradient color changes that take the sign from turquoise to shades of fuchsia. To affect this display, we printed a full-color laminate print that we installed as an overlay. When you look closely, you will notice that we kept the sides in the black foam color, which brings out the color changes even more.
What is a Gradient Color Change?
Everyone is familiar with a color change from one tone to another. In this client’s case, the transition takes place with a gradual blending of tones. In this case, we blended two colors that created an artistic presentation for the brand. The actual mixing is as much art as it is science. It has to be gradual enough to avoid the look of an abrupt transition. Concurrently, it needs to work with the available space. As you can see, our graphic artist did a fantastic job with the 3D letters.
How Would Your Brand Message Look with a 3D Letter Lobby Sign?
If you are currently missing a lobby sign or are looking at an outdated board presentation, could 3D letters be right for you? And, if you already have three-dimensional letters, how could custom Gatorfoam letters in Chandler, AZ, make your message stand out even more? You do not need to use gradient color changes to appreciate the sheer versatility that this material brings to any wall.
