Lobby Signage and Reception Signs, Frisco Sign Company

What Types of Lobby Signs Are There?

Since 1979 Signs Manufacturing has been building lobby signs and reception area signage. We know that the first impression you give your customer sets the basis for your relationship with them.

Make your first impression a good one!

Lobby Signs come in several basic varieties:

• Basic - Routed or Formed Plastic Letters
• Good - Aluminum / Stainless Letters, or Glass-Backed Signs
• The BEST - Diamondcast™ Lighted Individual Letters and Plaques

In addition, there are other options for combining different sign types depending on what you would like your logo to communicate.

As always, we recommend you view the signs in our Showroom to see everything first-hand. Our Sign Consultants will help pick the right type for you and get prices to you right away.

Combining Sign Types

These options are not independent of one another. We can fabricate a lighted logo, with stainless steel letters underneath, formed plastic letters on top of those, and put it all on a painted aluminium back panel shaped to the sign.

The sky is the limit! Your Sales Consultant will help determine the best sign for you.

The BEST - Diamondcast^™ Lighted Individual Letters and Plaques

If you want to be successful, Look Successful!

These new-style lobby signs, which we manufacture, have LEDs encapsulated in solid plastic so that the entire lighted sign can be as thin as only 1 1/8".  That is a dramatic improvement over the old style of reception area signage.

Typically the problem with a lighting lobby sign was that you either had to make the sign very thick, which means it looked cumbersome and may be a hazard to people trying to work/walk in the area, or you had "hot spots" where points of light were visible in the sign's face.

The old way looked bad. The new way is fantastic!

Seeing is believing.  We strongly encourage you to visit our Showroom to see it for yourself, first hand. It's too important a decision to just leave it up to a photo.

       

These signs are perfect for any business that wants to create a positive lasting first impression.

• Doctors Offices

• Dental Offices

• Business Offices

• Manufacturing Facilities

• Sports Facilities

• Exhibits & Trade Shows

• & more!

Basic - Routed Plastic Letters

Our routed plastic letters come in a variety of thicknesses, from 1/8" thick to as much as 1" thick!

Plastic letters are CNC routed or laser cut (depending on the application) from a computer file to make precise letters.  The sides are then smoothed out for a precise finish.  Our plastic letters are:

• Precisely cut with straight lines and consistent arcs,

• Exactly as shown in our production drawings, and

• Have a durable and attractive finish.

Fast turnarounds are available.

Standard Plastic Letter Colors (custom colors are also available)

Basic - Formed Plastic Letters

Formed plastic letters are a great way to have a durable, inexpensive sign for your business without sacrificing that professional look that you need.

These signs are not ideal for retail businesses, but great for commercial sites, industrial, offices, etc.

They have come in a great variety of styles and colors, sizes that range from 2" to 72" (custom sizes are also available for an even larger sign). In addition, they have many other benefits over signs:

• UV stable & fade resistant,

• 31 standard pigmented colors (they can be painted using our SignLux™ paint system for even more variety)

• Greater depth than a routed plastic letter (flat cut letter) without the weight,

• Both flat front and rounded edges are available, and

• Lifetime Guarantee!

Fast turnaround times are available.

Standard Formed Plastic Letter Colors (custom colors are also available)

Formed Plastic Letter Mounting Options

Your Sales Representative will determine which is the best installation method for your sign.

Aluminium or Stainless Letters - Good

Add a Backer Panel and Improve Even the Best

The trouble with all individual letters is that the wall behind them can detract from the appearance of the sign.

If the wall is textured unevenly, the letters will be mounted unevenly.  Or, if the color that you want for the sign blends in with the wall you are attaching it to then you need something to separate the logo from the wall behind it.

If you frame the sign with an aluminium panel, either rectangular or cut to the shape of the sign, you can dramatically improve the overall appearance.

The panel can be painted, or even be brushed aluminium.

It looks even better if it is backlighted.

But it looks Best if it is both front and back lighted (see Diamondcast™ above.)

Glass Signs - Good - and a different look

Sometimes individual letters aren't the best for your business.

In these cases, a glass sign works very well. By custom forming the glass and adding decorative "barrel" standoffs we can create a beautiful sign for the lobby or entrance of any business.

• The edges are polished,
• The panel can have color, or clear (transparent), frosted, etc.
• Lettering can be flat or raised,
• Supports can have many different shapes and colors,
• Literally hundreds of different options!

Ask your Representative for some recommendations that fit your business and with your logo!

How Important Is Your Lobby Sign For Your Business?

When it comes to running a business, creating a positive first impression is critical to success. A lobby sign is often one of the first things that clients and customers see when they walk into a business, and it can have a significant impact on their perception of the company. A well-designed lobby sign can establish branding, create a professional image, and make a lasting impression on visitors.

Establishing Branding

A lobby sign is an opportunity for businesses to showcase their brand and establish themselves as a reputable and recognizable entity. A well-designed lobby sign should incorporate the company's logo and colors, helping to create a consistent image that customers will associate with the business. This can help to increase brand recognition, as visitors will be more likely to remember and recognize the company's name and logo after seeing it prominently displayed in the lobby.

Creating a Professional Image

A nice looking lobby sign can also help to create a professional image for a business. When visitors walk into a well-appointed lobby with a stylish and modern sign, they are more likely to view the company as credible and trustworthy. A high-quality lobby sign can also give visitors a sense of the company's level of professionalism and attention to detail, which can be important factors in building trust and establishing long-term business relationships.

Making a Good First Impression

Finally, a lobby sign can help to make a good first impression on visitors. The lobby is often the first point of contact that customers have with a business, and a nice looking sign can help to set the tone for the entire interaction. A well-designed lobby sign can create a welcoming and inviting atmosphere that puts visitors at ease and makes them feel more comfortable doing business with the company.

To be certain, a nice looking lobby sign is an essential component of any successful business. It can help to establish branding, create a professional image, and make a good first impression on visitors. By investing in a high-quality lobby sign, businesses can ensure that they are presenting themselves in the best possible light and increasing their chances of success in the competitive marketplace.
