Buyers who want the option to switch from bare metal to a brand colour late in the project. It sits in our corporate offices and lobbies work more often than anywhere else.
Most buyers choose stainless and then discover the finish is the decision that matters. Mirror reflects the room, brushed hides fingerprints, satin diffuses spotlights, gold plating is indoor only, and paint covers all of it. This page groups the builds so the finish can be picked deliberately.
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.

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.
Material GuideThe grade question has a short answer that depends almost entirely on how close the sign is to salt water.
