Lobby and Reception Signs

Lobby Signs That Win the First Impression for New Jersey Offices

Your lobby sign is the first thing visitors see when the elevator opens or the door swings in. We design, build and install lobby signs, reception signs and office logo walls for New Jersey businesses, from one logo behind the front desk to a full branded entry. We also install lobby signs across the five boroughs; see our NYC service area.

The Basics

What Makes a Lobby Sign Look Right

A lobby sign can use the right logo and still look off. Usually it is too small for the wall, lost against the paint, or built from a finish that fights the room.

So we plan the sign as part of the space. We look at the wall size, where people stand when they first see it, the wall color and texture, and the materials already in the room, like stone, wood, glass or metal trim. Then we pick the letter type, depth and finish that fit.

Most lobby signs are dimensional letters mounted right on the wall. Some use a panel on standoffs, letters on glass, or a logo on the front of the reception desk. We build all of them.

ScaleBig enough to hold the wall, not crowd it.
ContrastLetter color that stands apart from the wall.
DepthFlat, raised, or spaced off for a shadow.
MaterialA finish that matches the room, not just the logo.

Size and Layout

See It Full Size Before It Goes Up

The most common lobby sign mistake is going too small. A logo that looks big on a laptop can disappear on a 20 foot wall.

  • We start from where people first see the sign: the elevator, the front door or the reception desk.
  • A good rule for reading distance is about 1 inch of letter height for every 10 feet. A lobby logo usually looks best well above that minimum.
  • We check the wall for outlets, switches, TVs, door frames and furniture before we settle on a width.
  • Before install, we tape a full size paper pattern to the wall so you can see the exact size and position.

Want to see it sooner? Send a photo of the wall with your logo and we can mock up the sign on it.

FAQs

Lobby Sign Questions

Straight answers to what New Jersey offices ask before they order a lobby sign.

How much does a lobby sign cost?

It depends on the material, the size, how many letters and pieces, the finish and the wall. A set of foam letters and a set of polished metal letters at the same size are priced very differently. Send your logo, a wall photo and a rough size and we will price a few options so you can compare.

What is the best material for a lobby sign?

Metal looks the most permanent and suits law, finance and corporate lobbies. Acrylic gives clean edges in any color and works well for agencies and medical offices. Foam with a painted, acrylic or metal face gives big, deep letters for less. We help you pick based on the look, the wall and the budget.

How big should my lobby sign be?

Start from where people first see it, like the elevator or the door. A common rule is about 1 inch of letter height for every 10 feet of distance, and lobby logos usually look best well above that. We tape a full size paper pattern on the wall before install so you can see the size in person.

Can you match our brand colors and font?

Yes. Send your logo as a vector file if you have one, like AI, EPS, PDF or SVG, plus your brand colors. We match paint to your color codes and cut the letters from your artwork.

Can you install in an occupied office?

Yes. We plan the time with you and building management, protect floors and furniture, and clean up before we leave. We can send a certificate of insurance to the building.

Will the install damage our wall?

Stud mounted letters go into small drilled holes that get patched and painted if the sign ever comes down. Taped letters can pull paint when removed. If you rent, check your lease, and we can work from your landlord's sign rules.

Do I need a permit for a lobby sign in New Jersey?

Signs inside your space usually do not need a town permit in New Jersey. Your building may still have rules on size, finishes, install hours and insurance, so check with the property manager.

Do you install lobby signs in New York City?

Yes. We install lobby and reception signs in all five boroughs and can send a certificate of insurance to your building. See our NYC service area.
