How the Electrolux Nameplate Evolved

The Electrolux brand has evolved over several decades. Not only have the appliances themselves gone through changes, so have the nameplates. Below are just two examples of the evolution in nameplate design.

On the earlier nameplate version, a one-side-bright aluminum substrate is used with embossed lettering and an embossed border. The colors are opaque, which do not allow for the bright aluminum to shine through, but instead give a more distinct design.

The updated version of the nameplate includes a brushed aluminum substrate with a gray-toned coating. The lettering here is also embossed, with a metallic gray color. There is also a formed edge that enhances the level of the nameplate on the appliance.

Samples of nameplates are a great way to explore and better understand the options available to you in designing a nameplate.  Northern engraving offers a Nameplate Materials and Processes Guide with numerous samples on metal and plastic substrates to assist you in the process.
