Watermark Images for Nameplates and Aluminum Trim
Integrating a watermark logo or graphic into an aluminum trim piece is a sophisticated alternative or addition to traditional branding. This article explores three options for subtly adding an image to aluminum. The images are layered with a printed texture. Increasing the contrast in any of these will make the graphic stand out more. You control the end result based on the desired effect.
- Brushed and bright aluminum
- High gloss and low gloss
- Opaque and transparent color
Brushed and Bright Aluminum
The background is brushed aluminum while the Mustang logo remains bright aluminum. A dull black square pattern is printed across both surfaces.
High Gloss and Low Gloss
This finish relies on a change in gloss levels to make the Volvo logo stand out. A transparent grey tint is printed overall and a low gloss grey texture used for the square pattern.
Opaque and Transparent Color
In this case, a low gloss clear texture is printed overall. The logo is defined with a high gloss black background and a transparent grey tint on the logo.
