Best for. Hotel and office lobbies where the letters are read against an evenly lit feature wall.
Watch out. Halo needs an unobstructed gap behind the letter; a deep skirting or a picture rail will break the effect.
Hotel and office lobbies where the letters are read against an evenly lit feature wall. It sits in our corporate offices and lobbies work more often than anywhere else.
The halo is made by the wall, not by the letter. Surface colour, surface texture and the stand-off distance decide whether the effect is a clean outline or a smudge, and none of those are things a letter specification usually mentions. They are all listed here.
A reception wordmark is looked at from two metres by people with nothing else to do. Every seam, every kerning error and every uneven reflection is visible. See the halo and backlit brand walls route for how this is specified on a live job.

Wordmarks with open round letters such as O, G and Q, where an even halo is harder to achieve.
View specificationThe brand colour had to appear at night without the letter face glowing, so the sign reads as solid brushed metal in daylight and as a coloured outline after dark.
