Dr. April Speed is a renowned physician with a breast surgery practice in Conyers. Recently, the facility expanded to 3280 Howell Mill Road in Atlanta. Dr. Speed brings her familiar patient-centered environment to this location, too. For this reason, the clinic’s management team contacted us to discuss the design of a lobby sign in Atlanta, GA.

Putting Together an Illuminated Lobby Sign for an Atlanta Medical Office

This is not your standard product. It starts with aluminum backing. Dimensional letters spell out “Dr. Speed’s Global Breast Health & Wellness Center.” We added PVC with a vinyl overlay to display the logo image of the globe and butterfly with its gradient color change. But behind the logo portions of the sign, we added LEDs. With the illumination in place, the globe and butterfly are surrounded by a halo of light. It creates an unusual appearance and further underscores the venue’s brand message.

Do Not Leave Lobby Sign Setups to Chance

Illumination is a hot topic right now when discussing reception area signage. More and more business owners like the idea of having an independently lit marker as opposed to training spotlights on the sign. Options abound.

• Lit channel letters. Some companies select a smaller version of its building sign. Channel letters make a fantastic impression on the side of a building as well as on the focal wall of your foyer. Scaled down to fit into the confines of the setting, the marker can be a replica of the exterior sign.
• Lightbox cabinets. Thin lightboxes are already in use for the presentation of backlit advertisements. You frequently see them in malls. However, did you know that you could also bring them inside your office? Display your logo, corporate name, and an advertising message all rolled into one. The lightbox cabinet can be in a standard geometric shape or take on the form of your business’ logo.
• LED elements. Bringing in LED elements is a favorite. We can install these light sources behind the edges of metal or acrylic lobby signs for a halo effect. Other options include push-through acrylic letters that jut out from a metal panel. We illuminate them from behind for an excellent color and light display.

Of course, we still work with clients on standard lobby signs, too. These include lobby logo boards, dimensional letters, and sometimes the combination of the two.
