What Are 3D Signs?

Put simply, a 3D sign is a form of traditional signage. with any 3-dimensional raised elements that differentiates it from a flat fascia. These can include bevelled logos, customisable shapes, stand-alone signs and raised individual lettering.

3D logo signs are most commonly used to decorate the exterior of shops and commercial business spaces, though there are a broad, versatile range of designs and applications where they can also be used.

Why Choose 3D Signs?

Retention rate is incredibly important when trying to attract potential customers to your business space, whatever the sector. Whilst there is merit for more standard, flat, traditional signage, choosing more customised signs can massively help your company sign stand out against your competitors.

Additionally, with 3D signs, you have more scope regarding depth and lighting effects, to further help you elevate the first impression of your branding. 3D signs also allow your signage to be viewed from different interesting angles, allowing your logo to be seen from further away without the need for the viewer to be facing your sign head on.

What Options Are There For 3D Signs?

With 3D logo signs, your main material options are either acrylic plastic or metal. Both materials are incredibly durable and can be weatherproofed effectively. Acrylic plastic can be poured into a mould with your brand’s chosen colours, and are fade resistant, ensuring that your signage will retain its visual quality for its lifespan.

Using metal for your signage has its advantages, including offering real longevity. You have the option of different finishes to suit your individual design specifications. Metal signs are mainly made from stainless steel, copper, aluminium, brass or bronze. Aluminium signs especially are lightweight, and extremely resistant to corrosion and rust.
