      <title>Worn Aluminum Look Enhances Aluminum Nameplate</title>
      <link>https://www.norcorp.com/nameplate-blog/worn-aluminum-look-enhances-aluminum-nameplate</link>
      <description>&lt;div class="hs-featured-image-wrapper"&gt; 
 &lt;a href="https://www.norcorp.com/nameplate-blog/worn-aluminum-look-enhances-aluminum-nameplate" title="" class="hs-featured-image-link"&gt; &lt;img src="https://www.norcorp.com/hubfs/images/McPherson-Carbon-Series-02-1.jpg" alt="Worn Aluminum Look Enhances Aluminum Nameplate" class="hs-featured-image" style="width:auto !important; max-width:50%; float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;"&gt; &lt;/a&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;This nameplate made me take a second look when I saw it on the line in our manufacturing plant. The subtle detail for the distressed or worn aluminum background adds such a level of personality to an otherwise simplistic oval shape.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
