For several decades now, Gatorfoam has been on the market. It took the signage world by storm because it is durable but lightweight. As a result, it is ideal for indoor signage products that do not require heavy-duty mounting anchors. In fact, with a double-sided specialty adhesive tape, it is possible to install Gatorfoam lobby signs on virtually any wall.
In addition to their lightweight setups, these products are tremendously versatile. Our technicians routinely use Gatorfoam to cut logos, letters, and numerals. By adding a specialized lamination, we can display them with a glossy look. Another option is the installation of a brushed or stainless steel finish.
The sides of the style elements – in the trade, we call them the returns – are paintable, allowing technicians to enhance the visually striking features of a sign. Envision dark returns with light-colored fronts and a neutral background!
One of the most significant advantages this product brings to the table is the price point; it is as affordable for the multi-national corporation as the new start-up that is just leaving the garage for a storefront. Add the full customization potential, and you can see why so many companies are looking to take advantage of the material.
Since Spotlight Signs and Imaging Solutions designs, manufactures, and installs Gatorfoam lobby signs in and around Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, and Phoenix, AZ, we wanted to show you some examples of what this looks like.
1. Western Adventist Foundation Takes Advantage of Gatorfoam with Metallic Finishes
The Western Adventist Foundation was looking for 3D letters with a metallic finish. It is an essential presentation for any firm that wants to imbue a space with a feeling of competence and longevity in a niche. For this client, we started the project with black Gatorfoam.
It contrasts perfectly with the metallic fronts that we added. The lamination itself is thin, which does not add much weight to the letters. By keeping the returns black, the metal finish is emphasized. Now, the Foundation displays a classy sign that instantly grabs the eye.
2. Sapcorda Commissions a Gatorfoam Sign with a Solid Look and Feel
This tech company focuses on GPS technology. It needed a lobby sign that would underscore its creativity and thought leadership in the niche. Simultaneously, it needed to bring splashes of color to the otherwise blank walls of the office.
By using Gatorfoam and painting the style elements’ returns as well as their fronts, our technicians were able to mimic the look of solid material pieces such as PVC or acrylic. It is an excellent alternative to metallic finishes for a classy look.
3. Empire Wealth Management Combines Two Looks in One Gatorfoam Sign
This company’s business is based on consumer trust. Therefore, it needed a lobby sign that would underscore trustworthiness, experience, and creativity. Moreover, the firm embraces personal contact and superior professionalism.
We met these brand-centric tones by creating a Gatorfoam sign that follows the font presentation and combines silver laminates with a matte black text. Moreover, we kept the returns in the black color. These steps make the sign look more substantial and dominate the room.
