SignWorks recently completed a project for the Fairview Heights Homeowners Association that involved installing bronze dark oxidized Œ inch thick flat cut letters onto the monument wall structure and the entrance to the property. To make the lettering more interesting the client opted to have the first letter of the project name sized at 10 inches and the remaining letters at 8 inches tall. While we have fabricated and installed lots of dimensional letter projects in Hayward and the surrounding area we always pleased when the finished project looks as good as this one does. Check out the picture and let us know if you agree.
This project involved helping the client select the font and style that would contrast well with the brick background color. In the end the client opted for a more custom dark colored bronze in order to maximize the contrast. We started with a proof and sent picture examples of the various finishing options so they could make an informed decision and selection. And, because we are very pleased with the quality of the products that Gemini supplies and their life time pass through warranty, we opted to have them fabricate the lettering for us while we focused on the design and installation aspects of the project.
Dimensional letter and logos on exterior and interior lobby walls give a building a certain ambiance and visual appeal that is warm and welcoming. Without these visual cues a property will look bland and unattractive and will have a sterile look that is not very appealing. Dimensional Letters and logos are a great way to establish a brand identity. In fact, we are often called upon to do repeat dimensional letter/logo projects for clients as they expand their footprint and add new locations.
We also try to set correct expectations around the timeline, from when the pre-production proof or artwork will be ready, to making sure the client has a frontal picture (along with the dimensions of the wall where the sign will be mounted) so that the rendering proof is as accurate as possible.
If you are thinking of adding dimensional letters or a logo to your building or lobby wall, please give us a call at (510) 357-2000. We can help you to select from a variety of materials and fonts or design a custom look that is unique to your company.  We provide design, fabrication and installation all at budget friendly prices!
